Ingredients Scanner: scan • analyze • protect your health

Point your camera at an ingredient list and get instant, reliable analysis of cosmetics, skincare, and food. The extension detects harmful chemicals, irritants, allergens, and endocrine disruptors, presenting results with clear color-coded hazard levels (green = safe, orange = moderate, red = dangerous). Each ingredient includes a concise explanation and recommended actions so you can make safer choices on the spot.

Save, share, or export scan reports and customize hazard ratings by adding, editing, or overriding ingredient information. Fast and user-friendly, Ingredients Scanner is a health-conscious shopping assistant for anyone avoiding toxins or seeking transparent labeling—perfect for shoppers, allergy sufferers, and clean-beauty advocates.
