About

The Science of Stuff reads the research behind the wellness, skincare, and healthcare products people are buying — and says, in plain language, what the evidence actually shows. We are not a debunking site; we stay curious and generous. A verdict is allowed to be "promising but under-studied," and often is.

How we grade the evidence

Every review carries one honest verdict: Well established — multiple independent randomised trials; Promising — plausible mechanism and early human data; Thin — in-vitro/animal work or small industry-funded studies; Contradicted — good evidence points the other way.

Independence

No affiliate links inside a verdict. Every gifted or comped item is disclosed in the standfirst. Every source is cited inline.
