How to Use
the Ingredient Checker

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 one of four safety scores: Excellent, Good, Not great, or Bad.

“Bad” means that ingredients may affect hormones, reproduction, or cause allergies. “Excellent” is very unlikely to pose a health risk. All the scores are 100% unbiased.

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—and why. Our verdict is based on ingredients, their effects, and your skin survey.

5. There’s Safer Fish in the Cosmetic Sea

Did your product’s safety score turn out to be poor? OnSkin will suggest safer alternatives from the same category.

Who knows, maybe you’ll meet your new cosmetic soulmate this way!
