Cosmetic composition check for you

A cosmetic composition check is a breakdown of a product's ingredients (INCI) for benefits and risks specific to your skin: what works, what is useless, and what could irritate or clog pores. Upload a photo of the label or paste the ingredient list, and for a personal read add a photo of your skin and, optionally, your lab results. Works for creams, serums, toners, cleansers and any cosmetics. This is a read by composition properties, not a brand ad and not a medical diagnosis.

Scope

What we analyse

  • Every ingredient explained

    We translate INCI from Latin into plain language: what each component is, why it is in the product, and whether it is useful, neutral or potentially problematic. No cryptic codes — plain words.

  • Actives, fragrance and irritants

    We show the load-bearing actives (acids, niacinamide, retinol, humectants) and separately the fragrance, alcohol, essential oils, comedogenic components and common allergens that may be excess in your case.

  • Whether it suits you

    We match the composition to your skin: type, sensitivity, breakout-proneness, allergies. The same cream is good for one skin and bad for another — we give a verdict specifically for you.

  • Concentration by INCI order

    INCI lists ingredients in descending concentration — from that order we judge whether a product is active or marketing, where a useful component sits right at the end "for the label".

How it works

What you can upload and how to get an accurate match

  • 1. Upload the composition

    A photo of the label with the ingredient list, or INCI text. If you are assessing the product for yourself — add a photo of your skin and optionally labs. You can also just check a composition, with no files about you.

  • 2. Describe yourself

    Sex and age, skin type and sensitivity, what bothers you, allergies (especially to fragrance and preservatives), pregnancy or breastfeeding, chronic conditions. Then the read is personal, not generic.

  • 3. Get a breakdown and a verdict

    We explain each key ingredient, flag what is useful and what is risky for you specifically, and give a verdict with a score — whether the product suits you and what to swap to if needed.

For maximum accuracy: a clear photo of the full composition (INCI) + a description of your skin and allergies + optionally a photo of your skin and labs — then the composition read becomes personal.

FAQ

Common questions

  • Photograph the label with the ingredient list (INCI) or paste it as text and describe your skin. The AI breaks down each component in plain language, flags useful actives and potentially irritating or comedogenic ones, and says whether the product suits you. It is a read by composition properties, not an ad.
  • Components in INCI are listed in descending concentration: the first are the base and the most abundant, the last are in small fractions. The position of an active shows whether its concentration is effective or token. We factor this into the assessment.
  • Here the focus is on dissecting one specific product's composition — what is in it and whether it suits you. If you want a full routine matched to your skin and goals (not just checking one jar), choose "Skincare match" — it is broader, with labs and condition.
  • No. The service helps you understand a composition and its fit for your skin, but does not diagnose or treat. For skin disease, persistent breakouts and reactions to cosmetics, see a dermatologist.

    I love trying out new brands, but there's such a huge selection in stores these days that your head just spins. I checked out the ingredients of one popular cream that everyone's raving about on social media in this section, took just a couple minutes. Turns out it's got a bunch of stuff that's totally not for me and would just clog my pores. This service saved my makeup bag from wasting money and helped me find the perfect alternative instead. It's my go-to beauty helper now!

    My friend recommended this service. So I had this argument with her about a cream I bought, right?) I checked the ingredients through this service and turns out I really shouldn't be using it. I thought my skin was just reacting badly to alkaline soap or something. Threw out that cream and everything got better. I'd definitely recommend this service. Now I check all my cosmetics through it before I buy anything.
