At Truth In Skincare.org (TiS), we are committed to elevating the skincare industry’s standards by endorsing entities that share our core values of transparency, integrity, and accountability. Achieving TiS Approval signifies your brand’s or outlet’s dedication to these principles, assuring consumers of your trustworthiness and commitment to ethical practices.
The following outlines our comprehensive vetting process, designed to rigorously assess and verify the credibility and reliability of potential partners:
Step 1: Submit Your Application
Complete our application form to begin your journey to becoming TiS Approved. Provide detailed information about your brand or outlet, including your mission, practices, product or content offerings, and any existing certifications or recognitions. This initial step is your opportunity to showcase your commitment to making a positive impact in the skincare industry.
Step 2: Documentation Review
Upon receiving your application, our team conducts an in-depth review of your submitted materials. We evaluate the transparency of your ingredient sourcing, product formulations, and, if applicable, the accuracy and integrity of your content. This includes a meticulous examination of any claims made by your brand or outlet, ensuring they are substantiated and free from exaggeration or misinformation.
Step 3: Compliance Check
Our auditors examine your compliance with relevant industry standards, regulations, and ethical guidelines. This step may involve reviewing certifications, safety assessments, and ethical sourcing practices. Our goal is to ensure that all TiS Approved entities adhere to the highest standards of product safety, quality, and consumer respect.
Step 4: Site Audit
A TiS auditor conducts a thorough site audit, focusing on evaluating your digital presence for transparency, user experience, and the absence of misleading information. For brands, this may include a review of product listings, FAQs, and customer service policies. For media outlets, we assess article sourcing, conflict of interest disclosures, and the overall educational value of the content provided.
Step 5: Final Review and Approval
The culmination of the vetting process is a comprehensive review by our approval committee. This team assesses all gathered information and audit findings to make a final decision. If approved, your brand or outlet will be awarded the TiS Approved seal, symbolizing your commitment to transparency and integrity in the skincare industry. You will also receive guidelines on how to use the TiS Approved seal and be featured on our platform.”
Continued Compliance
Being TiS Approved is an ongoing commitment to excellence and integrity. We conduct periodic reviews and follow-ups to ensure continued compliance with our standards. Partners are encouraged to keep us informed of any significant changes to their practices or offerings that may impact their approval status.
