At Greatist, we believe that growth happens when you take any step toward better physical, emotional, or social health — and our mission is to help you grow. The products we choose are a huge part of that. Curious about a meal kit delivery service? Ready to invest in home gym equipment but have no clue where to start? Let us do the research for you.
We’re always on the hunt for stuff that works, makes us feel good, and delivers the most bang for our buck. Everything that’s shoppable on Greatist has been thoughtfully chosen by our editors and reviewers. We only recommend products that meet specific quality standards, and we’ll always share our reasons. If you like what you see and buy something through a link on our site, we may receive a small cut. There’s no extra cost to you.
Bottom line: Our product picks are here to help — from the little things to the life changing.
Will you accept this rose recommendation? Here’s an inside look at the selection process
Our product picks start with extensive reporting and research by our team of experienced journalists. We dig into user reviews, investigate brands, fact-check any claims, and submit items for vetting by our Medical Affairs team, who dive deeper and analyze:
- the product’s composition
- the potential for these products to cause harm
- the company’s integrity
But it doesn’t stop there. We do our best to thoroughly test products whenever possible. Sometimes, that means we receive an item for free, and when that’s the case, we never promise coverage or a favorable review in exchange.
And since nothing lasts forever, we’re constantly reevaluating products. If a product or brand is reevaluated and no longer meets our standards, we’ll remove it from our site. And if we share something that hasn’t passed our vetting process, we’ll be straight up about why so you can make an informed decision.
Journalistic integrity, editorial independence, and a solid foundation built on expertise, authority, and trust are at the core of everything we do. Look for content disclaimers and medical review labels on our articles. Unlike a bad ex, we’ve got nothing to hide, and we’ll always be honest with you.
Which brings us to the Greatist ‘Good for You’ seal
For the cream of the crop, we created the Good for You seal of approval. Only the best of the best finds that receive top marks from our vetting team, are beloved by our editors and readers like you, and deliver value in every way can earn this seal. It’s one more way we’re ensuring only the best products end up in your cart so you can feel good buying the things that actually make you feel good.
