About

Who made this site?

Hey! We're Genne and Jacob, the two people who made this site.

Check out our more detailed about page to learn more about us 😊

Who is this site for?

SkinSort is for anyone who loves skincare!

No matter what stage of your skincare journey you're in, we want you to feel at home while using SkinSort.

Our tools and community can be used by anyone to better understand their skincare products and work towards their dream skin.

Product Database

How can I add a missing product?

We've tried to add as many products as possible to SkinSort, but we rely on our community to help us with ones that we've missed!

You can submit new products with a SkinSort account.

How can I add a missing brand?

We're always looking to add new brands to SkinSort!

I've spotted an error with a product's data!

We are always working to fix any errors in our product data! Please send what you've found to [email protected] and we'll get it fixed ASAP.

We really appreciate any error reports!

How do you determine what a product is good and bad for?

We've read a ton of peer-reviewed studies to select the ingredients that our algorithms assign attributes based on.

When we add a new product to our database, our algorithms scan it's ingredients to determine all of its attributes. If you think you've spotted an error with the ingredients we use to categorize certain things, feel free to get in touch!

You can check out our research library to see some of the sources we used.

How do you determine if a brand is cruelty free?

We use two sources: Leaping Bunny, which is the only international symbol for cruelty-free products. Our second source was Suzana Rose from Cruelty-Free Kitty's complete list of Cruelty-Free brands.

Both sources have conducted research to ensure brands are not being listed as cruelty-free through loopholes and thus have stringent standards.

If you notice an error in our data, please get in touch!

Ingredient Database

I can't seem to find X ingredient

Our Ingredient Database has tens of thousands of skincare ingredients, but it's impossible for us to track every single one out there! If you think we're missing an ingredient, please let us know: [email protected]

It's also possible that the ingredient is listed under a different name. Our matching algorithms do their best to handle this (for example, Aqua and Water should be marked as the same ingredient), but there's always a chance that we missed it. Anyways, let us know and we'll get back to you!

Community

We've tried to make it as simple as possible to share routines and shelves that you create on our site.
