Vela Lume may earn a commission when you buy products through some of the links on our site — for things like skincare, supplements, books, journals, wellness devices, and fragrance. These are affiliate links, and they never cost you a penny more.
How we choose what to recommend
- We start with what's genuinely useful to women in perimenopause and menopause.
- We factor in evidence, ingredients, and real member experience.
- Commission never decides the recommendation — the recommendation decides whether a link is included at all.
What every recommendation explains
A product recommendation on Vela Lume is never just a link. Each one states, in plain language:
- What the product is for
- Who may benefit
- Who should avoid it
- The limitations — what it will and won’t do
- How we selected it
- Whether Vela Lume earns a commission
Disclosure appears next to the recommendation
We don’t hide our affiliate relationships on a legal page alone. A short disclosure sits directly beside every recommendation and affiliate link, so you see it at the moment it matters. See our Editorial & Correction Policy for the full standard.
Not medical or product endorsements
An affiliate link is not a medical endorsement. Supplements and devices affect everyone differently, and some interact with medications. Please check with your healthcare provider before trying anything new. See our Medical Disclaimer.
Sponsored content
If a brand ever pays us to feature their product, we'll label it clearly as "Sponsored" or "Partnership" at the top of the content. Affiliate and sponsored content are not the same thing — affiliate links are our own choices, sponsored content is a brand's.
Your trust matters more than any commission
If a product we've linked ever disappoints you, tell us through the Contact page. We take member feedback seriously and will review or remove links that no longer earn their place.
