The scanner

Read the label

Point it at a grocery barcode or a skincare ingredient list and get the same grading the rest of the site runs on. On an iPhone the camera does this in one tap and the whole database is already on the phone; here it works by typing or pasting.

Food, by barcode

150,000 US products are bundled in: Nutri-Score, NOVA processing group, and the additive list, read against our additive notes.

Skincare, by ingredient list

The label reader runs our ingredient library over the INCI list: what each ingredient is, what the evidence supports, and at what concentrations.
