Think Dirty – Shop Clean 4+

Totally changed my life and my hair! Amazing App!!!

Before I had this app, I had NO idea that the “natural” products I was using for my post-surgery hair loss were actually 1) NOT natural at all and 2) making my hair loss MUCH WORSE!! I love that you can just scan the barcode of a product (or look it up by name) to find out if it’s healthy or not. My favorite feature is the ingredient analysis, though! It shows every ingredient in every product in their database (they’re still building up their database - they have 1.6 million products and counting!-but you can submit new products if they don’t already have the one(s) you want to check out ;) )and shows you exactly which ingredients are healthy, which are questionable, and which are dangerous (using their 0-10 rating system) AND, in an effort to educate people, it tells you the other names of each ingredient (ex. Water/aqua), why it’s in the product, why it’s good/questionable/dangerous, and their recommendations! I’m not getting paid for this review, I really just LOVE this app and think it’s AMAZING and LIFE-CHANGING! Bottom line: This app is INCREDIBLE and really focused on educating the public about what they’re using on their bodies- not on getting any kind of payout. From now on, I’m not going to use any beauty products if I haven’t checked them on Think Dirty, first!

I LOVE this app💗

I love being able to quick reference products before I buy with the 0-10 rating and I’m seriously IMPRESSED by the detail that has gone into breaking down the ingredients and you are able to view actual or potential effects these ingredients have when used on our bodies. The references to studies are provided and you can quickly click and read the studies if you’d like to go in depth and to the source of the information. As a skeptical nerd, I LOVE this!! One thing I would like to see is more small brands being available for reference. I understand that takes loads of time with a diminished return as less people use them however, during COVID our small businesses need all the help they can get to stay afloat! I would encourage small businesses to contact Think Dirty to have their products evaluated and links to purchase! You are also able to scan and submit products you’d like to see reviewed. Only about 30% of the products I use aren’t available(as I prefer to shop local) but Think Dirty has added many of them over the past years. You are doing FANTASTIC and very important work! Thank you! 💗☺️

Better search options

I like that you can search for a product by name, but I wish there was a way to sort products by quality and price (which I noticed the website doesn’t include and is an important aspect for most, how much is this 1 rated shampoo vs the 3 rated shampoo? - for those unfamiliar a lower rating means a better product) I’ve also noticed a lot of comments on the really low rated products were quite negative or indicated they would not purchase more and you’d have to scroll to find some positive reviews, but the app still shows that product with an 80% would use again with 4+ stars?? When most the upfront comments are negative? I’m not sure about the reviews section of this app. I definitely will be using this app to further look into potential products, but it’s not as useful with finding new ones as I hoped it would be.

......after perusing the app for another 30 min or so and cross checking it with “the best 10 hair care products for dry hair” so far were 6/6 being listed as 8 ratings aka very dirty. Now I expected some of the big name brands to not be the best for you, but literally all of them are listed as very dirty because they have a fragrance in them? I get that fragrance is a chemical but if all the other ingredients are green and they have one thing that’s an 8 I don’t think giving it an 8 rating is fair....
