Research disclaimer

Information only

Richmont Consultants Ltd publishes trend reports, evidence reviews, market reports and regulatory briefings about the beauty and fitness sectors. We do not sell, stock or endorse any product, and no brand pays to appear in our research.

Not medical or professional advice

Nothing on this website or in our packs is medical, dermatological, nutritional or training advice, or a recommendation to use any product, ingredient, supplement or training method. For advice about your own skin, health, diet or exercise, speak to a GP, dermatologist, pharmacist, registered dietitian or qualified fitness professional, particularly if you are pregnant or have a health condition.

A trend is not a recommendation

Describing a trend, or saying it is growing in popularity, does not mean the product, ingredient or method involved is safe, effective or right for anyone. Where research supports or contradicts a popular claim, we say so and cite the research.

Brands and products

Brands and products are named for research purposes only. Their trade marks belong to their owners, and naming them does not imply any affiliation with, or endorsement by, us or them.

Not legal or financial advice

Regulatory briefings explain the law and guidance in general terms as at their edition date. They are not legal advice. Market reports are not investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

Accuracy

We work hard to make our packs accurate and we correct errors. Research, markets and regulation change quickly, so always check the edition date and the primary sources before relying on any information.
