How our scoring works
Every bottle swears it's clean, derm-tested and good for you — while the advice online flips by the week and the ingredient list reads like an exam you didn't study for. SkinSpace turns all that noise into one honest number you can actually act on.
Green means go. Red means skip.
Every product lands somewhere on one simple line — from formulas we'd gently steer you away from, to ones you can reach for without a second thought.
Great pick
Low-concern ingredients across the board. Go enjoy it.
Pretty good
Solid overall, with a couple of small notes worth a glance.
Worth a look
A few ingredients we'd want you to know about before you commit.
Maybe skip it
Enough real concerns that we'd think twice — and we'll show you why.
Built to inform you, not scare you
Plenty of apps are happy to make everything sound toxic. Here's what makes our score one you can lean on.
No fear-mongering
A flag never shows up naked. Every concern comes with the reason behind it, in words you'd actually use — so you walk away informed, not alarmed.
Smart, not paranoid
A retinol serum doesn't lose points for containing retinol — that's the whole point of it. Heads-ups like pregnancy notes are shown as context, kept separate from the score.
Consistent, every time
Same formula, same score — always. No AI mood swings, no number that quietly drifts depending on the day you happen to check.
Region-aware
We check the version of the product actually sold where you live — not a lookalike recipe from another country's shelf.
Honest when it's unsure
When we can't be certain about something, we say so — instead of inventing a confident-looking number to fill the gap.
Three taps, then you decide
Scan it
Point your camera at the front of the pack, snap the label, or just type the name. No copying out a 40-ingredient list — we do the reading.
We check every ingredient
Each one is measured against official cosmetic-safety data, kept up to date by our team.
You decide in seconds
One score, plus the why: which ingredients helped, which gave us pause, and what each is doing in the bottle.
Every score comes with its why
No black boxes. Every score is traceable to real ingredients and real research — tap any product and you can see exactly what shaped its number.
And your scans stay yours. We never sell your data. Ever.
