How to set your ingredient preferences

Everyone’s skin reacts differently to ingredients. What works well for others might irritate your skin, and some ingredients might even trigger allergies. To help you easily spot the ingredients you prefer or avoid, SkinSort lets you set your loved and avoided ingredients in your account.

Once added, these ingredients will be highlighted across product pages. Loved ingredients appear in green, while avoided ingredients appear in red.

You can manage these preferences on both the SkinSort website and the SkinSort App.
