FAQ

• Where do I start with OnSkin?

  Download the app and think of a product you’d like to know more about. Then, go to the main screen and choose how you’d like to get the info —by manually looking it up in the search bar, by scanning its barcode, or by simply taking a picture of the packaging. Once you’ve done any of these, you can see how safe the product is and if it suits your skin or hair (if this analysis is available).

• What is Safety Rating, and how is it calculated?

  In OnSkin, we base product rates on ingredients. Each is closely studied by our medical team and then evaluated. This way, each product gets a score from 0 to 100, with 100 as the safest level. 

  Safety Levels 

  • Excellent (76–100)
  • Good (51–75)
  • Not great (26–50)
  • Bad (0–25)

  These scores are backed by the latest scientific studies. You can find links to the resources we’ve used on each ingredient page. To assess the safety of product ingredients, we evaluate them according to the following parameters/criteria

  • Endocrine disruption risk / Reproductive toxicity

  Indicates the probability of mimicking, blocking, or interfering with the body hormones.

  • Сarcinogenicity

  Measures the potential risk of inducing cancer.

  • Allergy risk

  Estimates the probability of an allergic reaction.

  • High concentration alert

  Determines the risk of being unsafe in certain amounts.

• What is Skin Match?

  Based on the info you input about your skin type, age, skin care goal, and other “settings,” OnSkin checks how well a product is tailored to your unique skin needs — it’s basically like a dermatologist helping you find the right products, minus the fees and the long wait. The product you’re checking might be labeled as It’s a match!, Hit-or-miss, or Not a match for you. The app also detects ingredient groups such as Anti-acne, Anti-inflammatory, Moisturizes, May be drying, Comedogenic, and others — by tapping one, you see exactly what ingredients from this or that group are in the product.

• I seem to have a problem with using the app. Who should I contact?

  Please reach out to us at [email protected], and we’ll carefully look into your issue. Your ideas for improving the app are also very welcome!

• Do you have an Android version?

  Not yet! Hey Android users, we hear you, and we're thinking about making an Android version, but we haven't started the development yet.
