## About

INCI Beauty helps you see what's really in your skincare and makeup 🧴 Scan a barcode or search by brand, product or category, and you'll get every ingredient with its function, regulatory status and risk level, plus an overall score out of 20 with a colour code. It covers face and body care, hygiene, hair care, makeup and baby products, and you can set ingredients to avoid, see alternatives, read community comments and keep your own bathroom shelf and routines ✨ Missing products can be added by photo.
