How does it work?

Get the information: The app will show you a rating of the product ingredients.

Rating of the ingredients: You will find a colourful number scale under the curios icon ❓ - your personal decoder of the ingredients' secrets! Just a quick glance and you know where your favourite product stands.
Ingredient details: By clicking on an ingredient, you will quickly find out if it's suitable for you.

How do we grade?
First of all, we don't evaluate/rate products: we focus on the ingredients and their worst properties.
A colour grading scale: different colours show how safe or harmful an ingredient is.
The ground rule: Although the grading is primarily based on the worst property of an ingredient, we can't forget about the positive aspects and contributions.
Sources: We believe in science! Our data comes from trusted sources and studies.
Relevancy: We’re human and we update accordingly to our possibilities. If you find outdated information, we will gladly adjust it.
