Affiliate Disclosure

Honesty matters. Here's exactly how we make money and why you can still trust our recommendations.

The Short Version

AuraMatch contains affiliate links. When you click a product link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep AuraMatch free for everyone.

Networks We Participate In

AuraMatch is a participant in the following affiliate programmes:

• Amazon Associates Programme (UK) — As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. AuraMatch is a participant in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.co.uk.
• Awin — We are an Awin publisher (ID 2901167). When you click links to Boots, Cult Beauty, Look Fantastic, Sephora UK and other Awin merchants, your click is tracked via Awin for attribution.
• Skimlinks — We use Skimlinks to automatically detect and monetise links to merchants we are not directly partnered with.
• Direct brand programmes — Occasionally we link directly to brand websites under their own affiliate terms.

How We Choose Products

This is the important bit: commission does not influence our recommendations. We feature products based on:

• Match with your skin profile and stated preferences
• Real ingredient analysis (Clean Beauty Score)
• Genuine product reputation and verified review counts
• Coverage across price points (we deliberately include affordable options like The Ordinary and CeraVe alongside premium brands)

If a product is recommended on AuraMatch, it's because it's a good fit — not because we'll earn more from it.

What This Means For You

• You pay exactly the same price whether you click an affiliate link or go to the retailer directly
• Affiliate cookies typically last 1-30 days depending on the retailer — meaning we may earn commission on other items you purchase after clicking our link
• You can always opt out by going directly to the retailer's site (just search the product name on Google)

Compliance

We follow the disclosure requirements of:

• The UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) — all paid/affiliate content is clearly identified
• The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) — we follow the "Online influencers" guidance
• The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) — applicable for US visitors
• The Amazon Associates Operating Agreement — required affiliate disclosure on every page

Questions?

If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, or want to know more about how a specific product is featured, email us at hello@auramatch.app. We're committed to transparency.

TL;DR: We earn small commissions when you buy through our links. It costs you nothing extra. We pick products based on quality, not commission. Going direct gives you the same price.
