Terms of Use

Effective 27 September 2026. Last updated 27 September 2026.

Home Beauty Spa is a XencoLabs publication operated by Xenco Labs Inc. These terms govern your use of this website. By using the site, you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

Who operates this site

Xenco Labs Inc. is the legal operator of Home Beauty Spa and the entity responsible for this website and its contents. It is a California corporation with its principal place of business at 4000 Pimlico Drive #114-321, Pleasanton, California 94588. Questions about these terms can be sent to privacy@homebeautyspa.com.

What this site is

Home Beauty Spa publishes research-led articles about skin, hair and hormonal change, written for women approaching and moving through perimenopause. Everything here is general information about published evidence. It is not advice about you.

This site is a research publication, not a testing lab. We read and report the published evidence behind a claim. We do not run clinical trials, take before-and-after photographs, or measure products or devices ourselves, and nothing on this site should be read as a report of our own hands-on testing. How we assess evidence, and what disqualifies a claim, is set out on How We Review Our Products.

This site is written for adults and is not directed to children under 13.

This is not medical advice, and we are not your clinician

Reading this site does not create a medical, clinical, or professional relationship of any kind between you and Home Beauty Spa or Xenco Labs Inc. Nobody here is diagnosing you, treating you, or prescribing for you.

Much of what we cover — prescription retinoids, GLP-1 medications, spironolactone, hormone levels, supplements, scalp and skin conditions — interacts with your own medical history, medications, and circumstances in ways a published article cannot account for. Talk to a qualified clinician who knows your history before starting, stopping, or changing any treatment, medication, or supplement, and do not delay seeking care because of something you read here. If you think you may have a medical emergency, contact your local emergency service.

Olivia Morgan is an AI-generated persona

Articles on this site are published under the byline of Olivia Morgan. Olivia Morgan is Home Beauty Spa's AI-generated editorial persona. She is not a real person. She is not a dermatologist, clinician, or licensed practitioner, she does not examine anyone, and she does not personally test products. Nothing published under that byline is the professional opinion of a qualified individual, and it should not be read as one.

What the evidence can and cannot tell you

Published research has limits, and so do we. Studies are run on particular populations for particular lengths of time, at particular doses and concentrations, and a result on one group does not necessarily transfer to you. Research is also revised: what the literature supports today may be qualified or overturned later.

We report what the evidence supports at the time of writing, including when the honest answer is that the evidence is thin or contested. We do not guarantee that anything described on this site will work for you, and describing a product, ingredient, or approach is not a promise of a result.

Product references

Where an article names a product, that reflects our reading of the published evidence about its ingredients, formulation, or mechanism. It is not a report that we obtained the product and tried it, and it is not an endorsement by the manufacturer.

We do not sell anything on this site. We do not take orders, hold stock, process payments, ship goods, handle returns, or provide product support. Any purchase you make is a transaction between you and that retailer or manufacturer, on their terms, with their pricing, their warranty, and their returns policy.

Commercial links

Home Beauty Spa may earn a commission when a reader follows an outbound link to a retailer and buys something. Where that applies, it is disclosed on the page carrying the link and on our affiliate disclosure page.

A commission never determines what we cover or what we conclude about it. Coverage is decided and written first; a commercial link is only ever attached afterward, to a conclusion that already exists. No brand pays for coverage, for placement, or for a favourable assessment, and no brand reviews an article before it publishes. This is set out in full on How We Review Our Products.

Links to other sites

This site links to other websites — published research, retailers, manufacturers, and health organisations. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, products, or practices. When you follow a link away from Home Beauty Spa, that site's own terms and privacy policy apply, not ours.

Corrections

When an article is materially wrong we correct the article itself rather than quietly removing it, and we note what changed. If you believe something here is incorrect, tell us on the contact page — particularly if you have the source that shows it.

Our content, and what you may do with it

The articles, text, images, layout, and design of this site are owned by Xenco Labs Inc. or used with permission, and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights. Product names and brand marks belong to their respective owners and appear here for identification only.

You are welcome to read this site, and to quote briefly from it with attribution and a link. You may not republish, redistribute, or build a derivative work from our content, in whole or in substantial part, without our written permission.

Things you may not do

Please do not:

No warranty

This site is provided as it is. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranty that the site or its contents are accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for any particular purpose, and we disclaim all implied warranties.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Xenco Labs Inc. is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss arising from your use of this site or your reliance on anything published here.

Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud — and nothing here removes or restricts any consumer-protection right you have under the law of your own state or country that cannot be waived by agreement. Where any part of these terms conflicts with such a right, that right prevails.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Any dispute arising out of these terms or out of your use of this site shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts serving Alameda County, California, and you and we each consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

This does not deprive you of the protection of any consumer-protection law of your own state or country that cannot be waived by agreement, or of any right you have under such a law to bring a claim in your local courts.

If part of these terms does not hold

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, it is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in force.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as this site changes. When we do, we will revise the last-updated date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the site after that date means you accept the revised terms. Please check back from time to time.
