Transparency & Editorial Standards

Editorial Standards & Commercial Disclosure

Last Updated: September 30, 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency: At Nestacular, we believe parents deserve honest, accurate information to make the best decisions for their families. This page explains our commercial relationships, editorial processes, and how we work to maintain integrity while operating as a baby products retailer.

About Nestacular

Nestacular is a specialty retailer focused on high-quality baby feeding products. We carefully curate products from various manufacturers and suppliers, selling them under the Nestacular brand. Our business model means that when we feature products in our content, we have a direct financial interest in those products.

Our Business Model

We operate as both a retailer and a content publisher. This creates an inherent commercial relationship that readers should understand:

  • Product Curation: We select products from multiple manufacturers based on safety standards, quality assessments, and market research
  • Direct Sales: Products featured in our articles are typically available for purchase on Nestacular.com
  • Financial Interest: We earn revenue when readers purchase featured products
  • Brand Identity: While we curate from various suppliers, products are sold under the Nestacular brand

Understanding Our Commercial Relationship

Our Standards-First Approach

Every product we feature must pass rigorous evaluation before we consider commercial factors. We won't sell products that fail our standards, regardless of profit potential.

When you read our articles, you should understand:

  • Featured products are items we sell, creating a financial interest in their purchase
  • However, products only enter our inventory after passing safety and quality evaluations
  • Commercial viability is assessed after—not before—standards compliance
  • We prioritize safety certifications and quality benchmarks over profit margins
  • Products that fail our evaluation criteria are never featured, regardless of their commercial appeal

Our Evaluation Process

Before any product is added to our inventory or featured in content, it must:

  • Meet or exceed current safety certifications (JPMA, CPSC, ASTM standards)
  • Pass our quality assessment based on materials, construction, and design
  • Demonstrate no active recalls or unresolved safety concerns
  • Align with evidence-based practices for child health and development
  • Show positive performance in available user reviews and feedback

Only after passing these criteria do we evaluate commercial factors such as supplier relationships, pricing, and inventory management.

Our Editorial Process

Expert Authorship

Nutrition and feeding content is authored by a Registered Dietitian specializing in pediatric nutrition and child health.

Medical Review

All health and safety content is reviewed by qualified medical professionals with pediatric experience.

Safety Standards

Product safety claims are based on manufacturer certifications, regulatory standards (CPSC, ASTM), and industry certifications (JPMA).

Source Citation

We cite authoritative sources for health claims, safety standards, and regulatory information to enable independent verification.

Our Editorial Team

Our content is created through a collaborative process involving nutrition specialists, medical reviewers, and product research experts:

Content Creation:

  • Dr Sumaiya P.N - Registered Dietitian (RD), Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE), General Physician (BUMS). Dr Sumaiya is the founder of Nutricare Healthcare clinic in Mumbai and specializes in pediatric nutrition, infant feeding, pregnancy and lactation nutrition. She serves as the lead nutrition content author, creating and overseeing all nutrition and feeding-related articles. Her credentials are verified through the Indian Dietetic Association.
  • Tayla White - Product Research & Testing Specialist. Mother of four who contributes practical parenting insights and conducts hands-on product testing with children across different age groups.

Medical Review:

  • Dr Kingsley CN - Consultant Radiologist with HSE (Health, Safety & Environmental) certifications from the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and Safety. Provides medical review and contributes to safety evaluation of all health-related content.
  • Dr Gabriel O - General Practitioner specializing in pediatric care at Sajer General Hospital, Saudi Arabia. Reviews all articles for medical accuracy, safety recommendations, and alignment with current pediatric guidelines.

All nutrition and feeding guidance is primarily authored by Dr Sumaiya P.N with her specialized credentials in pediatric nutrition. Medical review is conducted by Dr Kingsley CN and Dr Gabriel O to ensure comprehensive clinical accuracy and safety standards.

Important Note: While our content is created by qualified professionals, medical reviewers do not independently test products or verify all manufacturer claims. Our evaluations are based on available certifications, published research, and manufacturer specifications.

Product Selection Criteria

Phase 1: Standards Evaluation (Must Pass)

Products must meet all of these criteria before any commercial consideration:

  • Safety Certifications: Current JPMA, CPSC, or ASTM compliance with no active recalls
  • Quality Assessment: Durable materials, solid construction, appropriate design for intended use
  • Medical Alignment: Consistency with pediatric guidelines and child development standards
  • User Feedback: Positive performance in verified purchaser reviews
  • Manufacturer Reputation: Established track record of safety and quality

Phase 2: Commercial Evaluation (Only After Standards Pass)

Once a product passes Phase 1, we then evaluate:

  • Supplier relationships and reliability
  • Price competitiveness in the market
  • Inventory management feasibility
  • Shipping and handling requirements

Critical Principle: If a product fails Phase 1, it will never enter Phase 2, regardless of how profitable it might be. Safety and quality standards are non-negotiable prerequisites for commercial consideration.

Important Limitation: While we apply rigorous standards before adding products to our inventory, we do not conduct independent laboratory testing. Our Phase 1 evaluations are based on manufacturer specifications, third-party safety certifications, and available user reviews. We rely on certification bodies (JPMA, CPSC, ASTM) for safety testing validation and cannot independently verify all manufacturer claims. This means our featured products are limited to those that: (1) pass our standards evaluation, and (2) are available through our supplier network.

What We Recommend You Do

To make fully informed decisions, we encourage readers to:

  • Verify Safety Claims: Check current safety certifications at CPSC.gov and JPMA.org
  • Read Multiple Sources: Consult independent product testing organizations (Consumer Reports, etc.)
  • Check for Recalls: Search the CPSC recall database before purchasing any baby product
  • Consult Healthcare Providers: Discuss specific health and safety concerns with your pediatrician
  • Compare Options: Research products from multiple retailers and brands
  • Read User Reviews: Look for verified purchase reviews on multiple platforms
