Contact
Published 6 August 2026Zane Hitchcox, editor
One address, read by the editor. There is no contact form on this site: a form takes your message while keeping the recipient anonymous, and a publication that will not print the address its messages go to has told you something about how it expects to answer them.
Corrections
These are the most welcome messages this site receives. If something here is factually wrong, send the page address and, if you have it, the source that shows the error. Substantive corrections are made in the text and noted with the date at the foot of the article. Anything that could affect a health decision is treated as urgent. The full policy is in the method.
Sources and questions
If a claim on this site is not sourced clearly enough to check, say so and it will be sourced or removed. If you know of a trial, review or regulatory instrument that an article should have cited, that is genuinely useful — particularly New Zealand and Australian research, which is easy to miss from outside the region.
What this address cannot do
- Personal skincare advice. No routine recommendations, no "what should I use for this", no assessment of anything on your skin. This is a reference site written by an editor who is not a clinician, and answering those questions individually would be both useless and irresponsible. A doctor or a dermatologist can help; this address cannot.
- Product reviews or testing. Nothing here is tested, so there is nothing to request.
- Guest posts, link placements, sponsored articles or paid mentions. None are accepted, at any price, and the enquiries are not answered. No link on this site has ever been bought or sold. The one link here to a commercial business is a clinic in which this site's publisher has an ownership interest, cited for its published prices and disclosed as such in the paragraph that carries it.
Rights, trade marks and the former occupant of this domain
Te Mana Skincare was a real New Zealand brand that traded at this web address until about 2023. This publication is unconnected to it, as the about page explains at length.
If you represent that business, its founder, or any other rights holder and you want a description amended or removed, write to the address above with the specific wording at issue. It will be actioned promptly, not argued with. The same applies to any image, mark or material you believe appears here in error.
Press
Same address. Attribution should be to Stratum (temanaskincare.com) — never to Te Mana Skincare, which is a different and unrelated thing.
