How our skincare scanner app checks a product’s safety
1

Let’s get to know your skin

First, answer a few simple questions about your skin type and goals. This way, we’ll be able to pick the ingredients that are a no-no or a huge YES for you.
2

Snap, scan, or type — the choice is yours

Simply take a photo of a cosmetic product, scan its barcode, or look up its name on the app. That’s where our science team comes in…
3

See if it’s safe for you

You’ll see your product got one of the following safety scores: Excellent, Good, Not great, Bad.
But why can a product be labeled Bad, you might ask?
Its ingredients, according to the latest research, may affect hormones, reproduction, or cause allergies. Lower scores mean higher risk!
Your product's score is Excellent?
Congrats! It’s very unlikely to pose a risk to your health.
All the scores are 100% unbiased. No brands or companies influence our opinions on the products
4

Will YOUR skin love this product?

You’ll also learn if a product is a perfect match, a potential match, or not a match for your skin, along with the reasons why.
Our verdict is grounded in the product’s ingredients, their effects, and the all-about-your-skin survey you complete.
5

There’s safer fish in the cosmetic sea

Your product’s safety score turned out to be Poor or even Bad?
OnSkin will show you safer product recommendations from the same category. Who knows, maybe you’ll meet your new cosmetic soulmate this way!
