Ingredient Checker allows to take a look inside your beauty and skincare products to find out how beneficial or harmful they can potentially be. When you apply serum, cream, or powder to your skin you put your health at risk. Wrong components can irritate or dry your skin, clog pores and lead to other unpleasant things. The only way to avoid this is to look at the ingredients list. We are here to simplify this process.
You no longer need to search for components and their effects on Google. Just open our website! We have prepared a lot of useful information about each component and our analyzer puts all this information together. You can:
- Identify potentially harmful components. Our analyzer shows all the allergens, alcohols, silicones, chemical fragrances, and so on. We will not only highlight all these components but will also tell the information about why you should avoid them.
- See all the useful ingredients and their positive effects. We highlight moisturizing, anti-aging, soothing components, antioxidants, UV filters, and so on. You will find a lot of information about how beneficial the product is.

Don't believe what manufacturers say!
Everybody knows, that manufacturers always say only good about their products. But if you read skincare forums you will see many posts about irritation, redness, acne, and other bad things after using this or that product. The truth is: brands rarely highlight potential threats...
We are an independent website. We don't promote brands. Our main goal is to provide you with fair data. And it's you to decide what to do next.
We are all different!
Every person has different skin. Some people can use all skincare products and enjoy the result while others have sensitive skin and need to pay attention to what they use. Moreover, different people react to the same components differently.
That's why you should use our tool. You can compare products and identify which components can potentially harm your health. If you have a negative reaction, you can find out what component causes this.
