Safer Decisions, Made Simple
Our mission is to help people make more mindful decisions about the products that come into contact with their skin.
That starts with better information.
The products we use every day can contain dozens of chemicals, but information about them can be fragmented, technical, or difficult to decipher.
OnSkin gathers the evidence for you. We analyze the science behind ingredients and translate it into clear, practical insights to help you choose beauty and household products with confidence.
Healthy Beauty
We break down cosmetic ingredients—the potential risks they pose and how they may relate to your skin and hair needs.
Healthy Home
We apply the same approach to household products, helping you make choices that are safer for you and your family.
What We Believe In
Safety Comes First
We show you when everyday products may raise safety concerns, and help you find cleaner alternatives.
Independence by Principle
OnSkin doesn’t partner with any brands or accept payments to influence product scores. Our assessments are independent of commercial interests.
Science Guides Us
Our assessments are based on scientific and clinical evidence, drawn from authoritative sources.
Complexity Made Clear
We believe information about ingredients should be precise, not overcomplicated. Our job is to make cosmetic science understandable for everyone.
Made for What You Need
Our goal isn’t to inspire more purchases. It’s to help you focus on what’s actually right for your skin and health.
The Story Behind Our App
“It all started when the pandemic hit, and I was cooped up in my apartment. No commute meant I had a lot of time on my hands and a chance to get to know my skin better.
Though I was never a beauty junkie, I spent hours browsing and ordering skincare kits. Month by month, the collection of fancy bottles began to take over my bathroom. Many articles on ingredients and several allergic reactions later, it finally occurred to me — of the many products I had had high hopes for, few helped my skin. I entered the height of the pandemic with my nightstand swamped with tubes, but I left it with five effective products.
My beauty fever inspired me to come up with an idea for a cosmetic “face control” tool. With it, users scan the product, see its ingredients and their effects, and think twice before adding it to their skincare routine.”
The Science Behind
Our Scores
“We were inspired to create an app that provides straightforward and reliable information about beauty and household products people use every day.
Our science team developed a unique ingredient scoring method, Safety Score. We’ve manually processed more than 15,000 ingredients, evaluating them against scientific data based on the following criteria: endocrine disruption risk and reproductive toxicity, carcinogenicity, allergy risk, and high-concentration alerts.
The app’s algorithm combines ingredient-level scores using a proprietary formula to rate each product’s safety. For questionable ingredients, we explain what they are and why they may be a concern, along with links to the scientific sources behind each score.
Though processing so much information has been challenging, it’s rewarding to see the impact: helping people understand what they put on their skin and what may be absorbed into their bodies.”
