A note on links.

When I recommend something I love, I link to where you can buy it — sometimes that's an affiliate link, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase. It never costs you more, and the small amount I make helps support and maintain this website so I can keep sharing what I find.

And to be absolutely clear: a commission never decides what makes the list. Not once. Not ever.

Everything featured on Proven Radiance earns its spot the old-fashioned way — I use it, I've tested it, or I'd put it on my own shelf without thinking twice. If a product isn't good enough for that, no affiliate program in the world will get it included here.

Some links go to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, Proven Radiance earns from qualifying purchases. Other links may go to brands, independent shops, or platforms like Gumroad — and the same rule applies across all of them.

If you ever have a question about why something is on this site — or why it isn't — write to me. I'll always tell you the truth.
