Editorial Policy
How we research, write, and correct.
Rice Cubes is a home-remedy and general-information site. We describe the traditional and popular uses of rice water, summarize what research does and doesn't support, and share practical methods. Nothing here is medical advice.
Sources and evidence
- We prioritize peer-reviewed research when available, and quote it. Every source is listed in the evidence register with what was tested and a passage copied from it.
- We do not test products or preparations ourselves, in a lab or otherwise.
- Secondary sources must be credible: dermatology associations, major medical centers, or recognized cosmetic-science publications.
- We do not treat marketing copy, anonymous blogs, or affiliate-first content as primary evidence.
- When a claim is folklore, popular opinion, or TikTok-native rather than research-backed, we label it as such.
Claims discipline
We describe how ingredients and rituals may support the appearance of healthy-looking skin. We don't say rice water "cures," "heals," "treats," or "reverses" anything. That's not hedging — it's accurate, and it respects the line between home remedy and medicine.
Freshness
We aim to re-check each article against its sources at least once a year, and sooner if a new study changes a claim. An article shows a “Reviewed” date only when it has actually been re-read against the evidence register on that date. What changed in each review is listed on the updates page. The last full review was on November 11, 2026.
Corrections
Found an error? Email [email protected]. Corrections are logged on the updates page with the date and what changed.
AI disclosure
We use AI tools for research synthesis, outline drafting, and editing. Each factual claim is checked against a quoted source before publication, and the quotes themselves are verified by a script that re-fetches every source. No article is published as unedited AI output.
Affiliate and advertising independence
See our Affiliate Disclosure. Short version: no brand pays us to write favorably about their product. Editorial picks are not influenced by affiliate commission rates.
