Scan My SkincareClear matches. Honest limits.
An ingredient name, what it does and whether it matches your preferences are three different things.
First, read and review the label
The browser accepts pasted ingredient text and checks it locally. iPhone label photos are processed online to extract text. Review the names against the package before checking; curved bottles, glare and small print can produce errors.
Then, apply your selected checks
Groups look for a defined set of names and reviewed aliases. Individual watches look for the name you choose. Closely related ingredients are not silently treated as the same thing. A match means “on your selected list,” not “bad for everybody.”
Functions explain a common use
The app's descriptions use reviewed sources including European Commission CosIng function records. A role such as preservative or moisturising ingredient describes a common use. It does not establish concentration, approval, individual suitability or a safety score.
Missing information stays missing
Some ingredients have no information for a selected check. We can still show actual matches, but an incomplete check does not become a complete no-match result. A new glossary entry or description never automatically clears a missing assessment.
