What evidence can support

  • Map emollient, moisturiser, lotion, cream, and ointment vocabulary into Skincare Reference formula routes.
  • Explain format differences without ranking or prescribing.
  • Separate formula format from heat-ready compatibility.

What evidence cannot support

  • Copy DermNet medical guidance into product-facing claims.
  • Say a specific format is best for all dry or sensitive skin.
  • Claim a formula is compatible with warming without finished-formula testing.

Claim boundary

Allowed: source-routed explanation, formula comparison, label interpretation, user-experience wording, and conservative citation routing.

Needs evidence: any product-specific suitability, warming compatibility, sensitive-user outcome, baby, pregnancy, eczema-adjacent, measured absorption, or treatment-adjacent claim.

Do not say: this source, keyword route, label, or ingredient proves that a product is suitable, heat-ready, endorsed, or clinically effective.
