Editorial standards
How BeautyDump reports K-beauty prices, deals and news.
Where our numbers come from
Prices, price drops and new launches come from our own checks of brand stores and US retailers, recorded with the date and time we saw them. A story quotes the numbers from a named day and keeps them as reported. When we use another publication's reporting, we name it and link to it. We never copy other sites' review text.
How stories are written and checked
Stories start from our data. We use software, including AI tools, to pull the numbers and draft text. A named editor checks every story against the data and the store pages, edits it, and is responsible for it before it is published. Nothing is published automatically.
Independence
Brands and stores can't pay for coverage, placement or a better position in price lists. Affiliate commissions never decide what we cover or which store we show first. Overseas sellers are left out by default because of fakes, and Amazon is always listed last for the same reason.
Health and safety claims
We write about cosmetics, not medicine. We don't make medical claims, and when a story touches on ingredients or safety rules we cite the regulator or study we relied on.
Headlines
Headlines say what the story says, with the specific product, store or number. No teasers and no exaggeration.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it and add a dated note at the foot of the story saying what changed. Prices that simply move after publication aren't errors; each story says which day its numbers are from.
