We independently verify the science behind ingredients, and our claims are backed by peer-reviewed research.

Our Methodology

Transparency is a top priority for us. Here's a closer look at how our ingredient checker works—and why you can trust the results.

It's built to give you clear, science-backed information so you can make confident decisions about the products you use.

Scientifically-backed ingredient data

We only include information supported by scientific research. If you're curious to dig deeper, every ingredient has its own page with sources and references.

Smarter ingredient name detection

Our database recognizes thousands of ingredient name variations to give you the most accurate results possible.

In a perfect world, all manufacturers would use standardized INCI names—but that's not always the case. We've built in checks for common variations and even misspellings.

Always up-to-date

New research on cosmetic ingredients is published all the time. We regularly update our database to keep up with the latest findings.

100% independent

SkinSort is completely independent. No brand or sponsor can influence the ingredient data or product info we display.

Your support helps us stay that way—focused on delivering the most accurate, unbiased information out there.

Built with your feedback

We've designed this tool to be the most accurate and up-to-date ingredient analysis resource on the internet.

But we know it can always be better. If you have suggestions or spot something off, reach out anytime—we're real humans and we read every message at [email protected].
