Affiliate disclosure
BuySeaMoss is reader-supported. When you buy through links on this site, we may earn an affiliate commission from the brand or retailer — at no extra cost to you. This is how the site is funded, and it is disclosed inline, above the link, on every page where such a link appears — not buried down here.
The specifics
- Brand programs. We participate in affiliate programs run by sea moss brands. When a brand we review has an active partnership with us, that page says so explicitly, above the first commercial link.
- Amazon. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon is our link of choice for kitchen equipment (jars, blenders, strainers), where the rate is worth having. We do not use Amazon as the primary link for sea moss itself — the grocery rate is about a penny on the dollar, and a brand’s own programme pays many times more. The one exception is a brand that has no programme at all: there we link to their own store earning nothing, and offer Amazon underneath as a second way to buy. The table below says which brands those are.
- Free samples. If a product was provided free of charge, the review says so. FTC rules treat free product as a material connection; so do we.
What we earn, brand by brand
Most sites stop at “this page contains affiliate links”. That sentence is unverifiable, so it isn’t worth much. Below is the actual state of every commercial relationship on this site — including the brands that pay us nothing, and the one that turned us down. The table is generated from the same configuration that builds the buy links, so it cannot drift out of sync with them.
| Brand | Relationship | What we earn |
|---|---|---|
| essential sea moss | Active partner — approved and live | A commission on each sale, in the usual 10–25% band for this category. |
| holistic vitalis | Applied, not yet approved | Nothing. |
| samadhi moss | Applied, not yet approved | Nothing. |
| sunflower wellness | Applied, not yet approved | Nothing on their own store. Roughly 1% if you use the Amazon link instead. |
| true sea moss | Declined to work with us | Nothing on their own store. Roughly 1% if you use the Amazon link instead. |
| yemaya organic | Active partner — approved and live | A commission on each sale, in the usual 10–25% band. Where we also offer an Amazon link, that pays us roughly 1% — far less, and we say so beside it. |
Rates are shown as bands rather than exact figures, because several of these agreements treat their commercial terms as confidential. The band is what matters for reading a ranking: what you want to know is whether one brand pays us conspicuously more than another, and the answer is that the differences are far too small to be worth the reputation of the rankings.
What commissions don’t buy
- Rankings. Roundup positions are set by the published methodology on each roundup.
- Verdicts. Reviews keep their cons. A review with no cons is an ad, and we don’t publish ads dressed as reviews.
- Silence. We cover recalls and safety issues affecting partner brands, on the same terms as any other brand.
We also review products from brands with which we have no commercial relationship — those pages earn us nothing.
If we ever sell our own product
Should BuySeaMoss launch its own sea moss product, every page selling it will be labeled as our own marketing, and every review of a competing product will carry a conflict-of-interest notice. That policy is in place now, before it’s needed. See our editorial standards.
