Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check if my cosmetics are safe?
Use PureScan AI to scan any cosmetic product barcode or photograph the ingredient label. The app instantly analyzes every ingredient against toxicology databases, detecting endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, allergens, and comedogenic substances — personalized to your skin type and health conditions.
What is a cosmetic safety checker?
A cosmetic safety checker is an app that analyzes skincare, makeup, and personal care product ingredients for potentially harmful substances. PureScan AI is the most advanced cosmetic safety checker, detecting endocrine disruptors (parabens, phthalates), carcinogens, comedogenic ingredients, and allergens in real time.
What are endocrine disruptors in cosmetics?
Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with your hormone system. Common endocrine disruptors found in cosmetics include parabens (methylparaben, propylparaben), phthalates, BPA/BPS, oxybenzone, triclosan, and certain UV filters. PureScan AI detects all of these when you scan a product.
How does PureScan AI rate cosmetic ingredients?
PureScan AI provides a hazard score for each cosmetic product based on the toxicity profile of every ingredient. It rates individual ingredients for cancer risk, hormone disruption, allergenicity, and comedogenicity (pore-clogging potential) using data from scientific studies and toxicology databases.
Can PureScan AI detect comedogenic ingredients?
Yes. PureScan AI rates every skincare ingredient on a comedogenic scale of 0-5, where 0 means non-comedogenic and 5 means highly likely to clog pores and cause acne. This is essential for people with acne-prone or sensitive skin.
Is PureScan AI better than EWG Skin Deep?
PureScan AI provides personalized results based on your specific health conditions and skin type, while EWG Skin Deep gives generic safety scores. PureScan AI also scans both food and cosmetics in one app, supports all languages via AI camera, and works even when products aren't in the database.
