AFFILIATE + UGC
You create great content, have a community or simply know when a product genuinely fits you? Then we would love to get to know you.
We believe in SOURCE LAB and in the ability of our products to genuinely excite people. That is why we are looking for creators who take the time to really experience them and tell that story in their own way.
Get to know it first. Then have something real to say.
Before a product becomes part of your content, we want you to actually experience it. We provide enough time for you to use it properly, understand it and form your own opinion.
Not because we want to tell you what to say. We genuinely want to know what you think. Real product experience creates better content, gives us valuable insight and helps us continue developing SOURCE LAB.
What makes a great SOURCE LAB partnership
Real product experience
We want you to actually know the products you talk about. You receive enough time to use them in your everyday routine and develop a genuine impression before content is created.
Your feedback genuinely matters
We ask for a detailed response to the products you have tested: application, texture, skin feel, everyday use, favourite aspects and anything you would change. We also use this feedback internally for product and brand development.
The right fit matters more than the biggest reach
We deliberately choose people whose content, style, topics and community make sense for SOURCE LAB. A credible brand fit is more important to us than follower count alone.
Real excitement should be visible
If a product genuinely wins you over, your content is absolutely allowed to show it. We are not looking for artificially restrained communication. We want enthusiasm that comes from real experience.
Your voice, not a generic beauty script
We are not interested in interchangeable advertising that could work for any other beauty brand. We want your language, your perspective and specific experiences with the actual product.
Personal experience stays personal. Facts stay accurate.
Your own experience can be individual and subjective. Statements about ingredients and product effects, however, need to remain consistent with the approved cosmetic claims provided by SOURCE LAB.
Transparency is part of a good partnership
Affiliate links, discount codes, paid collaborations and other commercial relationships must be clearly disclosed in accordance with applicable requirements. Transparency and genuine enthusiasm can absolutely exist together.
We are not simply looking for reach. We are looking for the right fit.
Great partnerships happen when product, creator and community genuinely make sense together. That is why we review every registration individually and reach out when your profile fits a current or upcoming SOURCE LAB project.
How would you like to work with SOURCE LAB?
Recommend long term. Earn directly.
For creators, blogs, online magazines, newsletters, communities and platforms that want to recommend SOURCE LAB on a long-term, performance-based basis. Get to know the products first, then turn your experience into recommendations.
You know your community best.
For creators in beauty, skincare, lifestyle and related topics whose content, tone and audience genuinely fit SOURCE LAB. We are looking for personality, credibility and a real connection to the product.
Great content does not require a huge following.
For creators who produce high-quality reels, videos, routines, product demonstrations and other assets. Product understanding and creative quality matter more than reach.
Have an idea that does not fit into a box?
Photography, video, editorial, beauty expertise or another creative concept: if you think SOURCE LAB belongs in it, we would like to hear what you have in mind.
Registration is the first step. We review every profile individually. For creator, UGC and content projects, our social media agency will contact you if your profile fits a current or upcoming collaboration.
Affiliate: when your recommendation sells, you earn.
If SOURCE LAB becomes a regular part of your recommendations, we want you to participate directly in the sales you generate. That is why our affiliate model starts at 15% and grows with your performance.
Bringing significantly more? Individual terms may be agreed for particularly active partners, larger publishers or special campaigns.
How is my affiliate commission calculated?
The basis is the eligible net merchandise value after discounts. Shipping costs, taxes, cancelled or fully refunded orders and unpaid orders are not commissionable.
In the case of partial refunds, the commission may be adjusted accordingly. The ultimately confirmed order is decisive.
How do tracking and payouts work?
The standard tracking period is 30 days after the click on your affiliate link.
Commissions are released after the referred order has been confirmed and the relevant cancellation and return period has been taken into account. Payouts are handled through the affiliate programme.
Are personal discount codes available?
Depending on the partnership and campaign, selected partners may receive personal discount codes, launch promotions or special community benefits.
These are approved individually and may differ from general promotions in the SOURCE LAB shop.
Which rules apply to affiliate partners?
- Products featured as personal recommendations should first be genuinely tested and experienced.
- Experiences and reviews must remain truthful and reflect the creator's actual experience.
- Affiliate links, discount codes and paid content must be transparently disclosed in accordance with applicable requirements.
- Medical treatment claims or product claims not approved by SOURCE LAB may not be used.
- Paid-search advertising on SOURCE LAB, our brand name or obvious spelling variations is not permitted without prior approval.
- Coupon, cashback and voucher platforms require prior approval.
- Self-purchases and artificially generated transactions are not commissionable.

Open affiliate registration →Creator & UGC: experience SOURCE LAB before you create it.
We are proud of our products and believe they give creators plenty to talk about. That is why we want you to have enough time to really get to know them before production begins. Afterwards, we ask for detailed feedback on your personal product experience.
Your experience becomes the content.
We do not want a script that could belong to ten other beauty brands. Tell your story in your own language and show what actually stood out to you about the product.
Product knowledge before camera.
Texture, application and product experience are much easier to communicate when you actually know what you are holding. Test first, give us your feedback, then create.
We invest in great content and strong partnerships. Compensation reflects your work, creative contribution, reach, agreed deliverables and, where applicable, usage rights. Your personal product experience remains your own.
Think you fit SOURCE LAB? Show us what you do.
Register through our partner portal and introduce yourself as specifically as possible. If your profile fits one of our projects, our social media agency will contact you to discuss testing, feedback, content and the possible collaboration.

Product test & detailed feedback
Products intended to become part of a collaboration should first be tested personally over an appropriate period of time.
Afterwards, we ask for detailed internal feedback about your own experience.
We are particularly interested in application, texture, skin feel, everyday use, favourite aspects, unexpected observations, criticism and ideas for improvement.
We use these insights not only for the collaboration itself, but also as valuable input for the ongoing development of SOURCE LAB.
Registration & selection
All applications and registrations are handled exclusively through our registration page.
Submitting a registration does not automatically guarantee a collaboration, compensation, product shipment or acceptance into the affiliate programme.
Creator, UGC and content registrations are reviewed individually. If your profile fits a suitable project, our social media agency will contact you.
Compensation for creator & UGC projects
Creator and UGC projects deliberately have no publicly fixed flat fee.
Fees, content scope, deliverables, production effort, publications, duration and usage rights are agreed individually with our social media agency depending on the project.
Compensation reflects the agreed creative and commercial services, including working time, content production, reach and, where applicable, usage rights.
Advertising & disclosure
Affiliate links, commission-based discount codes, paid collaborations and other commercial content must be transparently disclosed in accordance with the applicable requirements.
Claims & product communication
SOURCE LAB is cosmetics. Statements made as part of a collaboration must remain consistent with our approved cosmetic claims. Medical treatment claims or statements about treating skin diseases are not part of our communication.
Personal experiences may of course be communicated as such, provided they truthfully reflect the creator's own experience.

We believe in our products. Now we want to see what you make of them.
We want to work with creators who are curious about SOURCE LAB, genuinely get to know our products and turn their own experience into strong, credible content. If the fit is right, we would love the collaboration to become more than just a one-off project.
