Makeup and beauty labels

Cosmetic ingredient scanner

Foundation, concealer, primer, blush, lip products, and body care can contain long ingredient lists. Aindly helps you scan cosmetic labels and focus on signals relevant to your skin profile.

Look beyond the front label

Words such as clean, natural, non-comedogenic, and sensitive are not complete ingredient explanations. Scanning the full label gives you a consistent way to compare products.

Consider how the product is used

A leave-on foundation and a rinse-off cleanser create different exposure. Aindly gives context, while your own use and reaction history remain important.

Ingredients and signals to know

Fragrance and fragrance allergens

Fragrance can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in sensitized people. A scented product is not automatically unsuitable for everyone. source

Commonly found in: Perfumed moisturizers, cleansers, body care, hair products, makeup, and essential-oil blends.

Heavy-texture and pore watch-outs

Whether a formula contributes to congestion depends on the complete product and the individual. Ingredient lists cannot guarantee a product will not clog pores. source

Commonly found in: Rich balms, heavy creams, hair products, makeup, and some leave-on oils.

Drying alcohols

Alcohol denat., ethanol, and similar volatile alcohols can feel drying or irritating for some people. Fatty alcohols such as cetyl alcohol are different. source

Commonly found in: Fast-drying toners, gels, sprays, hand products, and some lightweight skincare.

Exfoliating acids and retinoids

These actives can be useful, but irritation is more likely when they are introduced too quickly or combined aggressively. source

Commonly found in: Acne treatments, exfoliating toners, peels, resurfacing serums, and anti-ageing products.
