Product Selection Filters

theSkimm commerce editors consider the below filters while selecting products for inclusion across platforms and initiatives:

• They solve a problem. Often, the product itself solves an issue she’s dealing with in her daily life.

• They’re effective. We only recommend things that actually work. Skimm’rs can trust that any product we recommend is reliable and worthwhile.

• They save time. Either the product itself saves her time, or the curation we’ve done saves her time searching — for herself or for a gift.

• They’re at the right price point. At theSkimm, we’re protective of our audiences’ wallets. So we’re honest with them about where they need to invest, where they don’t, and what products are actually worth their hard earned $$.

• They align with our company values. We place a special focus on women-owned and BIPOC-owned businesses.
