Affiliate Disclosure
Effective Date: June 25, 2026 | Last Updated: June 25, 2026
Crowned & Company Beauty ("we," "us," "our") is committed to full transparency about how we earn money and how that might influence the content on this website.
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a way for websites like ours to earn money by recommending products and services. When you click a link on our site and then make a purchase from a retailer, we may receive a small commission — at no additional cost to you. You pay the same price you would pay directly.
Programs We Participate In
Crowned & Company Beauty currently participates in the following affiliate programs:
- Amazon Associates Program — As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon affiliate links are identified by links going to amazon.com or using amzn.to short links.
- AWIN Affiliate Network — We work with brands including iShow Hair through AWIN.
- Commission Junction (CJ Affiliate) — We work with brands including Mendelones and Impress Beauty through CJ.
- Direct Brand Programs — We participate in affiliate programs run directly by brands including Nadula, UNice, klaiyi, Ashimary, iSEE, Lolly Hair, BTArtboxNails, Glammermaid, Vsalon, MelodySusie, and others.
- Tidd.ly (Skimlinks) — Some links use Tidd.ly/Skimlinks as an intermediary affiliate tracking system.
How This Affects Our Recommendations
Our affiliate relationships do not determine which products we recommend. We select products based on quality, customer reviews (with particular attention to reviews from Black women), value, and our own research standards.
We sometimes earn lower commissions on the products we consider best. We recommend them anyway. Our audience's trust is more valuable to this business than a higher payout on an inferior product.
We do not accept payment to feature products, write favorable reviews, or rank brands higher than they deserve. If that changes, we will disclose it clearly.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
All outbound links on product pages are affiliate links. We identify them with "Affiliate link" notes below each button, and we include a disclosure bar at the top of every page on this site. If you are ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, assume that it is.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is made in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We support the FTC's mission to protect consumers from deceptive practices.
