Transparency is important to us. This page explains how Refined Living earns revenue and how that affects the content you read.

What This Means for You
When you click an affiliate link on this site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission. This comes at absolutely no extra cost to you — you pay exactly the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Affiliate commissions are how we keep Refined Living free to read and free from intrusive advertising. Without them, this site couldn’t exist.
Our Editorial Standards
We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe in. Our editorial opinions are never influenced by whether a product has an affiliate program or how high a commission rate is. If something isn’t good, we’ll say so — or we simply won’t feature it.
Some products on this site are featured without any affiliate relationship simply because they’re the best option for our readers. A commission never determines a recommendation.
FTC Disclosure Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we clearly disclose affiliate relationships at the top of any article or page containing affiliate links.
The standard disclosure you will see reads: “This post contains affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you purchase through these links, at no extra cost to you.”
Pinterest and Social Media
When we share links on Pinterest or other social media platforms, some of those links may also be affiliate links. We aim to disclose this wherever the platform allows.
Questions?
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or editorial policies, please contact us at hello@refined-living.com. We’re happy to discuss any specific recommendation or relationship in more detail.
