Is this cream okay in the first trimester? Which cheese is fine and which is better left on the shelf? RubyMom answers exactly these questions, right there in the aisle.

Point your camera at any product label. RubyMom reads the actual ingredient list and Nutrition Facts label, not just the barcode, so it also understands local brands and brand-new products that databases have never heard of. You get one clear answer for your stage: fine for you, worth a closer look, or better to skip for now.

RubyMom is a pregnancy-safe ingredient checker, food scanner and skincare checker in one calm app, built for every stage: trying to conceive, every trimester of pregnancy and breastfeeding.

WHAT YOU CAN CHECK
• Food and drinks: deli meat, soft cheese, seafood, caffeine, additives, sweeteners, and more
• Cosmetics and skincare: serums, sunscreen, makeup, hair dye. RubyMom flags retinol, salicylic acid and other ingredients experts recommend skipping during pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Cleaning and household products: sprays, detergents, laundry care, air fresheners
• Supplements and vitamins: herbal teas, protein powders, prenatal supplements

ADVICE FOR YOUR STAGE
Guidance in the first trimester is not the same as guidance during breastfeeding. Tell RubyMom your current stage: trying to conceive, pregnant or breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, add your due date. Safety ratings update automatically week by week, and a short weekly tip tells you what matters right now.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose your stage. If you're pregnant, set your due date and let RubyMom keep track
2. Take a photo of the ingredient list or Nutrition Facts label, or scan the barcode
3. Read the verdict, the reasons behind it and the sources it rests on

BLOOD SUGAR AT A GLANCE
RubyMom also shows a glycemic index estimate for foods you scan. That makes blood-sugar-friendly choices easier at every stage, especially when gestational diabetes is on your mind.

WHY PARENTS CHOOSE RUBYMOM
• Made for pregnancy and breastfeeding, not a generic health scanner
• Reads the label itself, so it works on products no database covers
• Plain language and calm explanations instead of scary scores
• Evidence-informed: grounded in recognized sources such as ACOG, CIR and EU ingredient databases
• Scan history keeps everything you have checked one tap away
• Answers everyday questions: which foods to avoid during pregnancy, how much caffeine is okay, whether a skincare ingredient is fine while breastfeeding

IMPORTANT: NOT MEDICAL ADVICE
RubyMom offers general, evidence-informed information to discuss with your healthcare provider. It is not a medical device and it does not replace advice from your doctor, midwife or pharmacist. Labels can be misread and products misidentified, so please confirm important decisions with a qualified professional. ## Rankings - #3,051,263 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `app.rubymom.scanner.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` ## Similar extensions and apps - [SafeMom: Pregnancy Safe Scan](https://chrome-stats.com/d/net.magnificentservices.safe_mom) — 7,263 users, 3.00 / 5 - [MamaSkin: Pregnancy Skincare](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.saymonvoid.pregnancysafe) — 8,779 users, 5.00 / 5 - [Oli: Pregnancy Safety Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.pipeabellos.oli) — 117 users - [Momtiful](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.momtiful.io) — 49 users - [Pregnancy Food Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.quode.mamacheck) — 1,894 users - [Little Bean - Cosmetic Checker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.littlebeanapp) — 14,502 users, 4.96 / 5 - [BumpGuard - Pregnancy Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bumpguard.app) — 172 users - [VeriMom: Pregnancy Skincare](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.verimom.app) — 310 users - [Mia: Pregnancy AI Food Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.materscan.app) — 8 users - [SafeMamaScan](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mamascan.app) — 34 users - [MamaCheck](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.jmfit.mamacheck.android) — 89 users - [Materneaty: Pregnancy Food](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.materneaty.app) — 221 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.rubymom.scanner)
