How it works

Scan it. Understand it. Decide.

What happens between a barcode and an answer.

  1. Scan

    The barcode finds the record.

  2. Understand

    The printed list, explained entry by entry.

  3. Decide

    No score at the end. The call is yours.

The labels

Five kinds of note. No scale.

The kind is always shown. The top of it means somebody wrote a rule.

  • A rule has been writtenWe name the rule and its terms.Regulatory
  • It dependsOn how much, and where it goes.Depends on context
  • Worth knowingCommonly asked about. Nothing official.Worth knowing
  • Just contextWhat the name on the pack means.Informational
  • Not enough informationWe say so instead of leaving a gap.Not enough data

One decision

There is no score.

Ranking a formula would mean pretending to know how much of each ingredient is in it, and how your skin will answer. We know neither.

What you get instead is named and separable, so you can disagree with one line without distrusting the rest.

Limits

What we won't do.

No score out of 100

An average would hide everything interesting.

No verdicts

The true sentence is longer, and specific.

No medical advice

A reaction is a pharmacist's job.

Nothing generated

Every explanation was written by a person.
