First, we recommend checking any large retailers for the ingredient list. Vendors such as Sephora and Ulta typically have up-to-date ingredient lists for the products that they carry.

When you paste an ingredient list into our ingredient analyzer (or take a photo or one), our algorithm extracts each individual ingredient and finds it in our ingredient database which contains detailed information on over 27,000 cosmetic ingredients.
When our analyzer algorithm has matched up all of the ingredients in a list, it generates an easy-to-understand explanation of what all of the ingredients do. It'll tell you how many ingredients in a product have anti-aging properties, which ones are forms of fragrance, and so much more.
