The method

Every case here follows the same process: read the full ingredient list, check the marketing claim against what's actually formulated, and stamp a verdict — verified, flagged, or mixed. Some links are affiliate links; a small commission is earned if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. It never changes the verdict. *Verified means the core claim holds up reasonably well, not that every word on the label is literally true — see the case file for the exact caveat.
