Who writes PrincessGlow

PrincessGlow is an independent DIY beauty publication. It is owned and edited by one person, and its recipe drafts are written with the help of a disclosed AI assistant. This page explains exactly who does what, because you deserve to know that before you put anything on your skin.

How a recipe here is made

Every recipe begins as an AI-assisted draft built on ordinary, long-established home cosmetic practice — oats, honey, clay, oils, teas, the things people have used for generations. The draft is then checked before publication against cosmetic-safety conventions: essential-oil dilution limits, ingredients that do not belong near the eyes or lips, ingredients that make skin sensitive to sunlight, and how long a mixture made from food can reasonably be kept.

We are deliberate about what that does and does not mean. Our standard is editorially reviewed against established cosmetic-safety practice. We do not claim that a recipe was personally made, worn, or tested on skin unless that is genuinely true — and where it is true, it will say so on that recipe's own page.

Recipe development

Mia · Claude
PrincessGlow's AI-assisted recipe-development persona. Mia helps structure recipe drafts, organise ingredients, write substitutions and FAQs, and explain steps plainly.

Mia is not a person. Mia is not a chef, a dermatologist, a cosmetic chemist, or a beauty therapist, holds no qualifications, has never mixed anything in a kitchen, and has never worn any of it. The name is a label for a writing assistant, nothing more. "Claude" names the AI model behind it.

Editing and final approval

Oeun Sok Heng
Founding editor and owner of PrincessGlow. Oeun Sok Heng owns the publication, decides what is published, and is responsible for every page on this site — including its mistakes.

No dermatologist, cosmetic chemist, pharmacist or other qualified professional reviews this site. If that ever changes, this page will say so, with names.

What "reviewed" means here ✦ Where a recipe carries a named safety review, it means a human being read that specific recipe and checked it against the cautions above. It does not mean the recipe was clinically tested, dermatologist-approved, or proven to work. Recipes without that credit have been drafted and checked editorially but have not yet had an individual human safety review.

What we will never do

Invent a qualification, a testing result, a review, or a person.
Say a recipe treats, cures, heals, whitens, detoxes or fixes a skin condition. These are cosmetics — they change how skin looks and feels, and that is all.
Backdate a publication date, or claim a recipe is older or more tested than it is.
Publish a formulation we would not be comfortable with a stranger following exactly as written.

About the photographs

The images on this site are AI-generated illustrations, not photographs of the finished recipe. They are there to make the page pleasant to read. They are not evidence that anything was made or tested.

Found a problem? Please tell us

If a recipe looks unsafe, a quantity looks wrong, or something reads as a claim it should not be making, we would genuinely rather hear it than not. Write to us through the contact page and say which recipe. Corrections are made quickly and the page records the date it was last changed.
