1. Nature of Sorette — What We Are and Are Not
Sorette is an independent editorial lifestyle platform covering beauty, wellness, home, baby, and kids categories. Our content is created for general informational, editorial, and inspirational purposes only.
Sorette is not, and does not hold itself out to be:
- A medical practice, healthcare provider, or licensed clinical professional of any kind
- A regulatory body or certifying organization
- A laboratory or independent product testing facility
- A retailer, manufacturer, or distributor of any product
- A pharmacy, nutritionist, dietitian, or licensed wellness practitioner

All products featured on the Site are sold by independent third-party retailers and brands. Any transaction you enter into is solely between you and that third party. Sorette is not a party to those transactions and assumes no responsibility for them.
2. Editorial Disclaimer — Opinions, Accuracy & Changes
All content published on the Site — including articles, product roundups, guides, editorials, reviews, recommendations, newsletters, and social media content — reflects the editorial opinions of Sorette and its contributors at the time of original publication.
Sorette makes no representation or warranty that any content on the Site is:
- Accurate, complete, current, or free from error at the time you access it
- Free from inaccuracies resulting from product reformulations, regulatory updates, or evolving scientific evidence
- Suitable or appropriate for your specific needs, circumstances, or preferences
Scientific research evolves. Regulatory standards change. Ingredient data may be incomplete or subject to revision. A product's characteristics, formulation, or safety profile may change after Sorette's editorial review without notice to Sorette. Sorette disclaims any obligation to update, correct, or remove previously published content, and expressly disclaims liability for any reliance placed on content that has become outdated or inaccurate after publication.
All editorial opinions are those of Sorette and its contributors alone and do not represent the views of any brand, retailer, or third party featured on or linked from the Site.
3. Health & Wellness Disclaimer
Sorette publishes content covering beauty, skincare, wellness, nutrition, supplements, fitness, and related lifestyle topics. All such content is provided strictly for general informational and educational purposes only.
Nothing on this Site constitutes, or should be construed as:
- Medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment of any kind
- Clinical, therapeutic, or pharmaceutical guidance
- A recommendation to start, stop, or modify any medication, supplement, or treatment
- A physician-patient, therapist-client, or any other professional-client relationship
- A representation that any product is clinically proven, medically validated, FDA-approved, or appropriate for any health condition, symptom, or medical need
Individual responses to products, ingredients, supplements, and wellness practices vary significantly. What works for one person may not work for another, and may cause adverse reactions in others. The use of any information provided on this Site is solely at your own risk.
You should not disregard professional medical advice, delay seeking medical attention, or make health-related decisions — including decisions about medications, supplements, or treatments — based solely on information obtained from this Site. If you have or suspect you have a medical condition, illness, or health concern, contact a qualified healthcare provider promptly.
Sorette expressly disclaims all liability for any health outcome, adverse reaction, injury, illness, or other consequence arising from your reliance on any content published on the Site.
4. Pregnancy, Postpartum & Fertility Disclaimer
Sorette may publish content relevant to pregnancy, postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, fertility, and preconception. This content is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice or clinical guidance for any individual's specific circumstances.
The Sorette-Reviewed Designation for Personal Care Products
Where a personal care product — such as a skincare, haircare, body care, or cosmetic product — is described as having been reviewed through Sorette's editorial standards, this means that specific personal care product has been evaluated against Sorette's internal ingredient criteria. This designation applies exclusively to personal care products and does not extend to any other product category, including but not limited to food, supplements, home products, baby products, or kids' products. The meaning of this designation is precisely and exclusively as follows:
This product has been reviewed and approved through our partnership with Sorette, ensuring it contains no ingredients known or suspected — per Sorette’s standards — to be hazardous to individuals during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
This designation does NOT mean, and should NOT be interpreted to mean, that:
- The product has been clinically tested, medically validated, or approved by any regulatory authority including the FDA
- The product is certified safe for use during any stage of pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or breastfeeding for any individual
- The product is free from all risk for all individuals in all circumstances
- The product is appropriate for use alongside any specific medication, treatment, or health condition
- The product's formulation has not changed since Sorette's review
- Sorette has independently laboratory tested the product or verified the accuracy of the brand's ingredient disclosures
Ingredient research is ongoing and evolving. Regulatory frameworks change. A product's formulation may be modified after Sorette's review without notice to Sorette. Sorette's standards reflect its interpretation of available scientific literature at the time of review and are not exhaustive or definitive.
As pregnancy affects everyone differently and every person’s medical history is unique, we strongly advise checking with your doctor, OB-GYN, or qualified healthcare provider before beginning the use of any product if you are pregnant, nursing, planning to become pregnant, or should you have any concerns.
Sorette expressly disclaims all liability for any outcome, adverse reaction, injury, or harm arising from the use of any product during pregnancy, postpartum recovery, fertility treatment, or breastfeeding, regardless of whether that product carries the Sorette-reviewed designation.
5. Baby & Kids Disclaimer
Sorette features editorial content and product recommendations in the baby and kids categories, including but not limited to diapers, wipes, personal care, feeding, infant formula, sleep, toys, clothing, and nursery products. All such content is provided for general informational and editorial purposes only.
Sorette does not represent or warrant that any product featured on the Site is:
- Safe, appropriate, or suitable for use with infants or children of any specific age, weight, developmental stage, or health profile
- Compliant with all applicable federal, state, or international safety standards for children's products at the time you purchase it
- Free from recalls, safety warnings, or regulatory actions that may have occurred after Sorette's editorial publication
Parents and caregivers are solely responsible for evaluating the appropriateness and safety of any product for their child. Always read and follow manufacturer guidelines, consult your pediatrician, and verify current safety and recall information through official sources such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at cpsc.gov before using any product with an infant or child.
The Sorette-Reviewed Designation: Baby & Kids Diapers, Wipes, and Personal Care
Where a baby or kids diaper, wipe, or personal care product is described as having been reviewed through Sorette's editorial standards, that product has been evaluated against Sorette's internal ingredient criteria. The meaning of this designation is precisely and exclusively as follows:
This product has been reviewed and approved through our partnership with Sorette, ensuring it contains no ingredients known or suspected — per Sorette's standards — to be hazardous to babies and children.
Because every child's skin and sensitivities are unique, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider if you have any questions or medical considerations before use.
This designation does NOT mean, and should NOT be interpreted to mean, that:
- The product has been clinically tested, medically validated, or approved by any regulatory authority including the FDA or CPSC
- The product is certified safe for all infants or children regardless of age, weight, skin type, or health profile
- The product is free from all risk of allergic reaction, irritation, or adverse effect for any individual child
- The product's formulation has not changed since Sorette's review
- Sorette has independently laboratory tested the product or verified the accuracy of the brand's ingredient disclosures
The Sorette-Reviewed Designation: Infant Formula
Infant formula is subject to distinct and heightened standards given its role as a primary nutrition source for infants. Where an infant formula product is described as having been reviewed through Sorette's editorial standards, the meaning of this designation is precisely and exclusively as follows:
This product has been reviewed through Sorette's transparency-focused evaluation framework, which assesses how brands disclose information about ingredient sourcing, formulation, manufacturing practices, and third-party testing.
The Sorette Seal of Approval reflects a brand's commitment to transparency and accountability. It is not a safety certification, medical endorsement, regulatory approval, or determination of nutritional adequacy or suitability for any individual infant.
Sorette does not independently test products or verify claims in a laboratory setting. Always consult your pediatrician about feeding decisions for your baby.
This designation does NOT mean, and should NOT be interpreted to mean, that:
- The formula meets any specific nutritional standard or is appropriate for your infant's specific dietary, developmental, or medical needs
- The formula has been approved or evaluated by the FDA or any other regulatory body
- The formula is safe for infants with allergies, sensitivities, metabolic conditions, or other health considerations
- The formula's ingredients, sourcing, or manufacturing practices have not changed since Sorette's review
- Sorette has verified the accuracy of any brand claim through independent laboratory testing
Infant feeding decisions carry significant health implications. Always consult your pediatrician or qualified healthcare provider before selecting, changing, or supplementing any infant formula. Never make infant feeding decisions based solely on editorial content or product designations found on this Site.
Sorette expressly disclaims all liability for any harm, injury, adverse reaction, nutritional outcome, or other consequence to any infant or child arising from the use of any product featured on or purchased through the Site, regardless of whether that product carries the Sorette-reviewed designation.
6. Beauty & Skincare Disclaimer
Sorette publishes content covering skincare, cosmetics, personal care, and beauty products. All such content is provided for general informational and editorial purposes only.
Sorette does not represent or warrant that:
- Any product featured is hypoallergenic, non-irritating, or appropriate for your specific skin type, skin condition, or sensitivities
- Any ingredient described as "clean," "natural," "non-toxic," or similar is free from risk for all individuals
- Any product will deliver the results described by the brand or retailer
- Any product is free from ingredients that may cause allergic reactions, irritation, or adverse effects in any individual
Skincare and cosmetic formulations vary by individual response. Always perform a patch test before using a new product and discontinue use immediately if you experience irritation, allergic reaction, or adverse effects. If you have a skin condition, allergy, or sensitivity, consult a dermatologist or qualified healthcare provider before using any new skincare product.
7. Affiliate Disclaimer
Sorette's shoppable features are powered entirely by affiliate partnerships. When you click a product link on our Site, you will be redirected to a third-party retailer's or brand's website to complete any purchase. Sorette may earn a commission if a qualifying purchase is made through an affiliate link, at no additional cost to you. A commission is not guaranteed and is contingent on factors including cookie attribution, purchase completion, and the applicable retailer's terms.
Affiliate relationships:
- Do not constitute product endorsements or guarantees of quality, safety, or efficacy
- Do not create any warranty, express or implied, regarding any featured product
- Do not create an agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between Sorette and any brand or retailer
- Do not shift liability for any product, transaction, or outcome to Sorette
The possibility of earning a commission does not influence Sorette's editorial integrity, product selection criteria, or editorial opinions. Products are featured based on their alignment with Sorette's editorial standards, not on the basis of commission rates or commercial incentives.
Sorette expressly disclaims all liability for any product purchased through an affiliate link, including but not limited to product defects, safety issues, adverse reactions, fulfillment failures, and post-purchase disputes. All purchase-related issues must be directed to the applicable retailer or brand.
8. Sponsored Content & Gifted Products
Sorette may publish sponsored content or feature products provided to us by brands at no cost ("gifted"). Where content involves a material commercial relationship — including paid sponsorships, gifted products, or brand collaborations — this will be clearly disclosed at the point of publication in accordance with FTC guidelines (e.g., "Sponsored," "Ad," "Gifted," "Paid Partnership," or similar language).
Regarding sponsored and gifted content:
- Compensation or product provision does not guarantee a positive editorial feature, and Sorette retains full editorial control over all published content
- Sponsored or gifted content reflects Sorette's editorial judgment at the time of publication and is subject to the same accuracy limitations described in Section 2 of this Disclaimer
- A sponsored or gifted feature does not constitute an endorsement of any brand's full product range, business practices, or any product not specifically featured in that piece of content
- Sorette makes no warranty regarding any product featured in sponsored or gifted content beyond what is expressly stated in that content
Sorette disclaims all liability for any product purchased as a result of sponsored or gifted content, including product defects, adverse reactions, or fulfillment issues.
