This policy explains how Calm Willow decides what to publish, how we handle relationships with brands, and how we correct mistakes.
Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently of any commercial relationship. Brands do not get to review, approve, or edit our coverage before it is published. Paying an affiliate commission does not buy a favorable assessment, a higher rating, or coverage at all.
Evidence standards
We aim to base claims on verifiable sources: peer-reviewed research where it exists, primary documentation such as certificates of analysis, and the brand’s own stated specifications. Where the evidence is thin or mixed, we say so rather than papering over it.
No fabricated testing
We do not claim to have performed laboratory testing, clinical trials, or measurements that we did not actually perform. Any rating or conclusion reflects our analysis of available information, and we describe it as such.
Affiliate relationships
Calm Willow earns affiliate commissions on some of the products we link to. These relationships are disclosed clearly and do not influence our editorial judgment. Read the full details in our affiliate disclosure.
Health & safety boundaries
We do not present any product as a treatment or cure for a medical condition, and we do not offer medical advice. We encourage readers to consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any hemp-derived product. All content is intended for adults 21+.
Corrections
If we publish something inaccurate, we correct it promptly and, where the change is material, note that the page has been updated. You can report an error through our contact page.
