Safe for your skin?

Know what's really on your skin.

Scan any cosmetic, skincare or household label — in any language — and instantly know what's harsh, what's an allergen, and whether it suits your skin. No barcode, no translating.

  • Check halal even with no logo — imports, K-beauty, foreign-language labels
  • Sensitive-skin verdict at a glance — set your skin type once, see the risk
  • Reads any language from a photo — Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic & more
  • Reads the printed label itself — any product, local or imported (no barcode)

Barcode apps can't scan what isn't in their database.

Yuka, Think Dirty and EWG match a barcode to a database — so indie, Asian, imported and brand-new products come back "not found". Pure Decode Skin reads the printed INCI list itself.

No barcode required

AI reads the ingredient list straight off the label — so it works on K-beauty, J-beauty, local, imported and just-launched products that databases miss.

Every language

Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Arabic, English INCI — all decoded to what each ingredient actually is, and why it matters.

Cosmetics + household

Same engine reads shampoo, detergent and cleaning-product labels too — a wider net than beauty-only apps.

The +1% edge

Routine diagnosis

Most apps rate one product at a time. But real irritation comes from combinations. We detect the actives in a product and warn when two that shouldn't be layered are both present.

  • Retinoid + AHA/BHA — over-exfoliation risk
  • Retinoid + high-% Vitamin C — can irritate together
  • Benzoyl peroxide + retinoid — one deactivates the other
  • Fragrance overload — flagged across your shelf

My Shelf

Your whole shelf, checked together

Most apps rate one product at a time. Pure Decode Skin remembers everything you've scanned and flags actives across two different products that shouldn't be layered — the mistakes that actually cause irritation.

Questions

Do I need to create an account?

No. The app is anonymous by design — no name, email or location. Your device gets an anonymous ID, and that's it.

Which products can it scan?

Skincare, makeup, haircare, cleansers, sunscreen — plus household products like shampoo and detergent. Anything with a printed ingredient list.

Is this medical advice?

No. Pure Decode Skin is an informational tool based on public regulatory and safety data. It is not medical or dermatological advice. Always consult a professional for personal concerns.

How accurate is it?

The AI reports only what's printed on the label and says "unknown" rather than guess — for example, source-ambiguous ingredients like glycerin are never assumed to be animal or plant.
