Sourcing Standards Independent Review Process

SOURCE.
DOCUMENT.
LIST.

Beldora Lab selects products under the following principles: each item in the catalogue is reviewed for ingredient transparency before listing, supplier documentation is requested where available, corrections are noted in the catalogue record, and the selection team discloses any commercial relationships that could influence inclusion.

The Review Sequence

01

Submission & Initial Record

A product enters the review queue when either the manufacturer submits documentation or the selection team identifies a product for independent review. An initial record is opened with the product name, manufacturer, and submission date noted.

02

Ingredient Disclosure Request

The selection team requests the full ingredient list from the manufacturer or supplier. For body care formulations, this includes the INCI list. For supplement complexes, this includes the nutrient information panel and declared concentrations. Products without full disclosure remain in pending status.

03

Sourcing Documentation

Where the manufacturer provides information on ingredient origin — country of cultivation, extraction process, or supply chain notes — this is recorded in the catalogue entry. Unverified sourcing claims are flagged as unverified rather than omitted entirely.

04

Entry Publication

Once documentation meets the studio's transparency standard, the catalogue entry is published with a version date. The entry notes the source of documentation and distinguishes between information confirmed by the manufacturer and information observed independently by the studio.

05

Rolling Updates & Corrections

Catalogue entries are not static. When a formulation changes, when new sourcing data becomes available, or when an error in the record is identified, the entry is updated and a correction note is added. The version date is revised to reflect the most recent update.

04 / EDITORIAL

Independence & Disclosure

Beldora Lab is an independent wellness catalogue presenting body care and daily supplement selections. The catalogue is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body.

The studio discloses any commercial relationship that could influence inclusion decisions. No entry is purchased or sponsored without disclosure. Where an entry has been provided by the manufacturer for review, this is noted in the record.

The selection team's observations are editorial in nature. They reflect a review of the documentation available at the time of listing. Product users are encouraged to read all manufacturer information independently before incorporating any item into their daily routine.

"The catalogue records what is in each product, where it came from, and how it was formulated — as stated by each manufacturer and noted by the studio."

Questions on Sourcing

Beldora Lab is an editorial catalogue, not a testing facility. The studio reviews documentation provided by manufacturers and notes where information has been independently observed versus provided by the manufacturer. Products in the Beldora Lab catalogue are selected based on published ingredient research and reviewed for sourcing transparency before listing.
Products without full ingredient disclosure are held in pending status. The studio does not publish catalogue entries without the required documentation. If documentation is subsequently received, the review process proceeds from the disclosure stage.
Yes. If a formulation changes significantly, if the documentation on which the entry was based is found to be inaccurate, or if the studio identifies an error in its own record, the entry may be updated or removed. Removals are noted in the correction log.
Unverified sourcing claims are noted as such in the catalogue record rather than either accepted or omitted. The studio distinguishes between information confirmed by the manufacturer and information observed or inferred independently.
