What is Yuka?
Yuka lets you scan the barcode of a cosmetic, personal care or food product and see how it rates for your health 📱 You get a score out of 100 with a colour code and a data sheet explaining how it was reached; for cosmetics, every ingredient gets a risk level, with flags for things like endocrine disruptors, allergens and irritants. If a product scores poorly, Yuka suggests similar ones with better scores 🌿 and keeps a history of everything you've scanned. Made by the French company Yuca SAS, which says brands can't influence scores or pay to advertise in the app, it offers a paid Premium membership with offline mode, search without scanning, alerts based on your preferences and unlimited history.
