Corrections log

We get things wrong sometimes. When we do, we fix it in public. Every material correction and every grade change is logged below with the date, the page and the reason.

Report an error

Email support@formuscope.com with “Correction” and the page title in the subject line. Tell us what’s wrong and, if you can, link to the source that shows it. You don’t need to be a scientist, a brand or anyone in particular. Reader reports are how we find most of our mistakes.

We aim to acknowledge every report within 3 business days. If we agree, we correct the page and log it here. If we don’t agree, we’ll tell you why.

What we log

  • Corrections: a factual error, such as a wrong ingredient, a misquoted claim, a study described inaccurately, or a wrong price or size at the time of publishing.
  • Grade changes: any change to a Scope Grade, for any reason, including reformulations, new studies and rubric updates. We show the old grade, the new grade and why.
  • Rubric changes: any change to the Scope Grade methodology, with the new version number.

We don’t log fixes to typos, broken links or formatting that don’t change the meaning. Routine price updates are reflected in each dossier’s “last reviewed” date rather than here.

How corrections appear

A corrected dossier carries a dated note at the end describing what changed. We don’t silently rewrite claims, grades or findings, and we don’t delete published dossiers to hide a mistake. If a dossier is withdrawn, its URL explains why.

The FORMUSCOPE pledge

No sponsorships. No free-product grades. Every source on the page.

We pay our own way

When we test in hand, we buy the product, and the receipt goes in the evidence file. Brands can’t pay for coverage, placement, or a re-grade.

We show our work

Claims are quoted with capture dates. INCI lists are linked. Studies list design, size, and funding.
