About
Most "clean beauty" apps read a barcode and hand you somebody else's verdict. Cosmetics Scanner reads the ingredients list on the back of the jar and scores it against YOU — your skin, your allergies, and your situation right now.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Point the camera at the INGREDIENTS list. We capture it for you — no perfect framing required.
2. We recognize every INCI name on the label, and you can fix any word we misread.
3. You get a score out of 100, the reason behind it, and the exact ingredients that pulled it down.
BUILT AROUND YOUR RULES, NOT AVERAGES
Before the camera ever opens, we ask four short questions: who you are choosing products for, how your skin behaves, what you already react to, and what a doctor has named. From those answers we build a set of rules you can see and switch off one by one — "no fragrance", "pregnancy limits", "child's eczema". Change a rule and your last scan is recalculated in front of you: a product that scored 51 can drop to 34 because of a single ingredient you cannot use.
WHY THE INGREDIENTS AND NOT THE BARCODE
A barcode gives you a rating averaged over everyone. The same formula can be excellent for oily skin and wrong for a pregnancy. Only the ingredients list tells you which one you are holding.
WHAT WE USE
INCI names are matched against CosIng, the European Commission's cosmetic ingredient database, and against Annexes II-VI of Regulation 1223/2009 — the lists of substances that are prohibited, restricted, or allowed only as colorants, preservatives, and UV filters. Anything you tell us you react to counts as high risk regardless of what the regulation permits.
FREE FOREVER
Scanning a label, the score, and the full ingredient breakdown are free and always will be. No account, no email, no ads.
WITH A SUBSCRIPTION
- Your shelf: every product you have scanned, sorted, searchable by name or by ingredient
- One photo of a shelf lists everything standing on it, ready to be scanned one by one
- Swaps: what to use instead, what disappears from the formula — and what is still in it
- Your shelf re-checked when your rules change
ON YOUR DEVICE, NOT OURS
There is no account and no server holding your shelf: everything stays on the phone. That also means it does not follow you to a new phone — we would rather say so here than promise a sync we do not have.
NO BRAND PAYS US
There are no sponsored ingredients and no paid placements. If a product scores badly, that is what we show you.
PLANS AND PRICES
$5.99 per week or $29.99 per year. Lifetime access is a one-time purchase of $49.99 and does not renew. Prices are for the United States; your local price is shown before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

Cosmetics Scanner is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. If a doctor has told you to avoid a substance, that instruction stands above any score we show.
