Accessibility Statement
Last updated: January 2025
At Scrubies, we believe everyone deserves access to quality skincare, and that includes access to our website. We are committed to ensuring our digital experience is accessible to people of all abilities.
Our Commitment
We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines help us ensure our website is:
- Perceivable: Information and user interface components are presented in ways that can be perceived by all users.
- Operable: Navigation and interactive elements can be operated by various input methods.
- Understandable: Content and interface operation are clear and predictable.
- Robust: Content is compatible with assistive technologies and future technologies.
Accessibility Features
Our website includes the following accessibility features:
- Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements can be accessed using a keyboard alone.
- Skip to Content: A skip link allows keyboard users to bypass navigation and jump directly to main content.
- Alt Text: Images include descriptive alternative text for screen reader users.
- Color Contrast: We maintain sufficient contrast ratios between text and background colors.
- Responsive Design: Our site adapts to different screen sizes and zoom levels.
- Form Labels: All form inputs have associated labels for screen reader compatibility.
- Focus Indicators: Visible focus states help keyboard users track their location on the page.
- Semantic HTML: We use proper heading hierarchy and semantic elements for better navigation.

Our website is designed to be compatible with common assistive technologies, including:
- Screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS, TalkBack)

Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, some areas of our site may have limitations:
- Some third-party content or embedded features may not be fully accessible.
- Older PDF documents may not be fully accessible; we are working to update these.
- Some decorative animations may not be fully described to screen readers, though they do not affect functionality.
