Your formula, explained
No misleading pore-clogging scores. No ingredient scare tactics.
Your ingredient list is analyzed in your browser, not uploaded to us.
Let's look at this formula.
Ingredient names alone cannot prove whether a product will clog pores, irritate your skin, or work for you. Concentrations, the complete formula, and your skin's response all matter.
Unrecognized ingredients are not automatically safe or unsafe.
Ingredient-by-ingredient
See what each ingredient does. Ingredients relevant to your priority appear first.
No ingredients in this filter.
Educational information only, not medical advice or a diagnosis. Ingredients and product formulas can change; always check the product's current label. Learn more about why single-ingredient comedogenicity ratings have limitations in published dermatology research.
Does a flagged ingredient mean the product will clog pores?
No. Ingredient-only ratings often rely on older tests of raw materials and cannot predict the behavior of a finished product. A formula and your personal skin response matter.
Why do some ingredients show “Not yet covered”?
The analyzer uses a curated educational ingredient library, not a complete cosmetic ingredient database. We clearly show ingredients that are not yet in our guide rather than guessing what they do.
Can I check products from any brand?
Yes. Copy the ingredient list from any skincare or makeup product into the box above. The tool does not read photos or scan barcodes.
