What it takes to get sourced

Most stores decide what to sell by what's available. We decide by what's worth going to get. A product makes it onto SkinSourcer only if it clears all five:

  1. Proven at home. Real traction in its home market: bestseller rankings, clinical-channel adoption, or review-platform dominance. Not TikTok hype, home-market proof.
  2. No official U.S. availability. If you can buy it on Amazon, we don't carry it. The day a brand launches officially in America, we retire it and say so.
  3. Manufacturer-direct. We buy from the company that makes it. Every product's paper trail runs from their invoice to our customs entry.
  4. Ingredients verified. Full INCI disclosure from the maker, cross-checked before we wire a dollar.
  5. Claims we can stand behind. We sell cosmetics and describe them like cosmetics. If a product's story requires promising you medicine, we pass.

I'd rather have seven products that clear this bar than seven hundred that don't.
