The honest ingredient checker

The plain truth about what’s on your skin.

We read the label, grade every ingredient on the actual evidence, and score the product out of 100. No fear, no hype. We tell you what is genuinely worth avoiding, and just as clearly, what is feared but fine.

How the PlainScore works

1
Read the label
Every ingredient, in order, plus any hidden fragrance blend.
2
Grade the evidence
Concern is cited to the CIR, EU SCCS, and FDA. Never to hazard-score lists.
3
Score it, honestly
Out of 100. Feared-but-fine ingredients cost nothing.
