Cosmetic Affairs Editorial is the publication credit for the journal's shared explainers, reading notes, and regulatory briefings. It identifies the publication responsible for the page; it does not imply a particular scientific qualification or an independent reporting team.

Individual contributors can be credited through their own profiles. When a named reviewer checks an article, the page identifies that reviewer and the review date separately from its publication date.

Our [editorial policy](/editorial-policy/) explains how we use sources, distinguish evidence from interpretation, and record corrections.
