Good to know
Frequently asked
Who writes Willow & Thorn?
Just me, Gemma, from Sydney. You can read how I got here on my About page.
What does “low-tox” mean here?
Cutting down on ingredients that the evidence suggests are worth avoiding, where it is easy and affordable to do so. It doesn’t mean “toxin-free”. Everything is made of chemicals, and how much of something you’re exposed to matters more than whether it sounds scary.
Is this medical advice?
No. Everything here is general information and my own experience. Please see a GP, dermatologist or pharmacist about your own skin or health. More on my disclosures page.
Do you get paid for recommendations?
Some links are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you buy, at no extra cost to you. Commissions never decide what I recommend, and no brand pays to be featured. Details are on my disclosures page.
Do brands send you products?
If a brand ever sends me something, I will say so clearly in the post, and it gets the same honest review as anything I bought myself.
How do you choose what to feature?
Things you can actually buy in Australia, at prices that fit a normal budget, with ingredient lists I have read. Reviews are only of products I have used myself.
Can you look at a product for me?
Happy to hear suggestions. Email me and I’ll add it to the list.
What happened to the jewellery shop?
The Willow & Thorn shop has closed. All the jewellery guides are still here, in Jewellery & sensitive skin.
Which metals are safe for sensitive ears?
Start with my guide to titanium vs surgical steel vs sterling silver, and the aftercare and size guide pages.
