The Candor lens

Data doesn't have a favorite brand.

Price per oz

The metric the beauty industry doesn't want you to use.

Retail price tells you what you pay. Price per oz tells you what you get.

Tier analysis

Drugstore isn't always cheap. Luxury isn't always worth it.

Candor maps pricing across drugstore, premium, and luxury so the patterns are impossible to ignore.

No bias

No sponsored placements. No affiliate-driven rankings.

Just the numbers. The data tells the story — we just make it legible.
