Terms of Service

By using barrierandbalm.com(the “site”) you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site. Barrier & Balm is published by Type 5 Marketing LLC.

Informational purpose only — not medical advice

All content on Barrier & Balm is for general educational and informational purposes. It is written by a skincare enthusiast, not a licensed dermatologist or physician, and it is not medical advice. Nothing here is a substitute for a consultation with a qualified professional. Do not use the site to diagnose or treat a medical condition. Patch-test new products, introduce actives one at a time, and stop using anything that causes a reaction. See our methodology for how our guidance is produced and its limits.

Product information and prices

We work to keep ingredient details accurate and prices current, but formulas get reformulated, products get discontinued, and prices change constantly. Prices shown are pulled from a retailer at a stated time and may be out of date by the time you read them — always confirm the current price and product details on the retailer’s own page before buying. We make no warranty that any product will be suitable for your skin or produce a particular result.

Affiliate relationships

The site contains affiliate links and earns commissions on qualifying purchases, as described in our affiliate disclosure. Those relationships do not affect our recommendations, and purchasing through our links costs you nothing extra.

Use of our content

The text, layout and original graphics on the site are ours and are protected by copyright. You may link to our pages and quote short excerpts with attribution. You may not republish, scrape, or reproduce substantial portions of the content without permission. Product images belong to their respective retailers or brands and are shown under the applicable retailer program terms.

Third-party links

The site links to third-party websites (retailers, cited sources). We aren’t responsible for the content, accuracy or practices of those sites; visiting them is subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Type 5 Marketing LLC is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content, including any reaction to a product you chose to buy or use.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site evolves. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms. The “last updated” date reflects the current version.
