Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: June 5, 2026.
This disclosure is provided pursuant to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, 16 C.F.R. Part 255.
What nontoxicnook is
nontoxicnook is an independent buyer's guide, not a retailer. Nothing is sold, stocked, fulfilled, or shipped by nontoxicnook. Every product listing links out to the brand or retailer that actually sells the item; you complete the purchase on their site under their terms.
How affiliate links work
When you click a "Buy on …" button on a product page, you are directed to a third-party merchant. nontoxicnook may earn a commission if you make a qualifying purchase there, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships are managed through networks such as impact.com, ShareASale, Skimlinks, CJ Affiliate, Awin, and direct brand programs.
Where applicable, nontoxicnook is a participant in third-party affiliate advertising programs (including, where enrolled, the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program) designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to participating merchants.
This disclosure appears in the Site footer on every page, near affiliate links on each product page, and on this page in full per FTC guidelines.
What affiliate revenue does not do
- It does not determine what gets listed. Listings are governed entirely by the criteria on the Our Promise and Editorial Policy pages.
- It does not determine ranking or order. Editor's Picks are chosen on merit; rankings reflect editorial judgment, not commission rate.
- It does not determine coverage. Brands cannot pay for placement, a positive review, or removal of a negative one.
- It does not affect what you pay. The merchant price is identical whether you arrive via nontoxicnook or directly.
- It does not transfer your personal information to merchants. See the Privacy Policy for the click-tracking details (the IP we record is one-way hashed before storage).
Links without commission
Where a product meets the criteria but no affiliate program is available, it is still listed and linked. The presence of an affiliate program never tips an inclusion decision.
Honest opinions
Reviews and recommendations reflect our genuine editorial assessment based on published ingredient disclosure, certifications, materials, and verifiable claims. We have no obligation, contractual or otherwise, to write favorably about any brand, merchant, or product in exchange for affiliate participation.
How we handle samples and gifts
Where nontoxicnook accepts a product sample for verification or hands-on assessment, that fact is noted in the relevant article. Receipt of a sample never guarantees inclusion, a favorable assessment, or any specific ranking.
