Healthy living just got that easy.
From snacks to shampoos: We’re exposed to chemicals every second, yet we know very little about them. To help you navigate overwhelming store aisles and make safer choices, EWG combined four of our most popular resources, our Skin Deep®, guides to sunscreens, and healthy cleaning and Food Scores databases, to form our Healthy Living App. Now EWG’s trusted ratings for more than 160,000 food, cleaning and cosmetics products are available at your fingertips.
Just scan a barcode, search by name or browse by category, and EWG will show you an easy-to-understand score from 1 to 10 (1 being the best!), backed by science you can trust.
Healthy living has never been easier.

Ratings and Reviews
Always jamming on my iPhone15
Can’t select products intermittently. Very annoying. Also concerned about positive bias towards products giving them better commissions. Some recommended products have carcinogens in them. Rare products not recommended for not much reason.
Fragrance/Perfume should have a more serious warning
I disagree with the rating of synthetic fragrance on this review site. EWG he’s not highlighting the fact that there are mystery ingredients in synthetic fragrances. These mystery ingredients include formaldehyde, styrene, parabens, phthalates, synthetic musks and the list goes on. These ingredients are in fact dangerous to humans when exposed on a regular basis, especially in self care products. They contain endocrine disruptors, which are directly linked to mental health issues like depression and ADHD. Endocrine disruptors also contribute to poor physical health. They can cause inflammation, cancers, and other auto immune disorders.
The public trusts EWG as a source for choosing product, so I hope that this database puts a stronger rating on fragrance and perfumes.
Science backed… NO
This app is SO misleading. Some ingredients they claim are bad are in some of their top picks because surprise! They get bribed easily. Also Parabens are one of the few preservatives that we know are safe with long term safety data. The researcher who said it causes breast cancer was feeding rats their own body weight of parabens… of corse it’ll harm them. Dose makes the poison and no dose creates poisonous products infected with mold/viruses/bacteria ETC. Everyone was scared of parabens so they switched to the less researched phenoxyethanol (which is actually a pretty good preservative), now people are getting scared of that so we’ll probably be switching to a different preservative that’s even less researched and so on. I’ll take parabens and the 100+ year safety data.
