Get graded by the engine that grades everyone.
The same evidence-based engine we use to grade skincare for consumers will grade your product — against the same published bar, with the same chance of failing. Pass, and you license a verifiable badge. You're paying for the audit and a true result. You can't pay for the grade. Pass and fail cost the same.
Why a badge you can buy would be worthless — so you can't
Visage Theory takes no money from brands on its editorial grades. Visage Verified is a paid audit — and we built a wall between your payment and your grade. Your product runs through the identical engine and the public A–F thresholds in our methodology. We also blind-grade it from its retail ingredient listing. We're paid for the audit, never for the outcome.
How it works
Apply & submit your product + INCI.
We grade it on the published rubric — independently.
Pass ≥ B → license the badge. Below → private remediation report.
Embed the badge; it links to your public verification page.

Visage A-Graded — Seal License · $1,490/yr
The tier above Verified. The A-Graded seal is issued only when your product scores an A (85+) on the public engine from its real ingredient list and an independent lab report confirms the active and the dose are truly in the bottle. Below an A → no seal, and the fee isn't refunded — you keep the exact gap report. A flat annual fee. No per-unit cut, ever. The grade is computed by the same engine that grades the field; payment never moves it; and the license relationship is disclosed on your public verification page. Consumers can reserve your A-Graded product directly on our Founders' Drop before you build it — so you launch against proven demand, not a guess.

Do brands pay to be graded higher?
Never. No payment moves any grade — the engine doesn't even receive payment information.
We failed after paying — do you refund?
No. You paid for the audit and got it: the full gap report showing exactly where you missed. Reaching Verified means changing the formula, not the fee.
What's the bar?
An independently earned grade of B or higher (score ≥ 72) on the same published A–F rubric we grade everyone on. Most audited products don't reach it — and we publish that rate.
