Scan skincare labels for a clear 1–5 score. See PFAS, fragrance allergen and suspected hormone disruptor flags. On-device and no login.
The ingredient list tells you more about a skincare product than the front of the package ever will. Skinimalist reads it for you - snap the label, scan the barcode or share a link from Safari, and get a clear score in seconds. Build a skin profile and see how well your products fit your skin.
•• Scores built on official classifications
• Skinimalist Score - every product is rated 1–5 based on confirmed official hazard classifications from the EU Cosmetics Regulation and other verified official sources.
• PFAS, carcinogens, fragrance allergens and suspected hormone disruptors are flagged even under alternative names, backed by a database of 36,700+ ingredients and 91,200+ names and synonyms.
• Deep analysis - 6,700+ summarized studies plus comparisons with similar products add nuance beyond the official classifications, with clear markers separating positive findings from negative.
•• A match for your skin
A product can have a clean ingredient list and still be wrong for you. Skinimalist helps you understand what your skin actually needs.
• My skin - build a skin profile based on your skin type, sensitivities and goals.
• Active products - collect your routine and see how well it matches your skin profile.
• The more products you evaluate, the more accurate the match gets.
•• Scan in store or online with Web scan
• Snap the ingredient list or scan the barcode right in the store.
• Shopping online? Share the product link from Safari and get the analysis in seconds - with score and warnings.*

• Expiry tracking (PAO) - see when opened products should be replaced.

•• Extra vigilance with Skinimalist Suspects ™
Not every risk is officially confirmed yet. With Skinimalist Suspects activated, ingredients with suspected but not yet proven harmful effects are flagged too - based on research and industry reports. You choose whether these warnings are shown.
•• Private and independent
All analysis - image recognition, ingredient decoding, scoring and matching - runs locally on your iPhone. No photos or data leave your device, and the app works fully offline*. Every score is independent, with no ties to the skincare industry. Skinimalist doesn't even have a login, so you can use the app completely anonymously.
