“Yuka is a free phone app that analyzes food items, providing a detailed data sheet for each product to explain how it was evaluated. Yuka analyzes personal hygiene and cosmetic products. You get a detailed data sheet for each product to help you understand its score.”
It had rather interesting results for a few items I scanned at home. It might make a difference if I find one product is more clean than another. My DD‘s friend was looking for a clean moisturizer. She scanned what he’d just bought and it was really bad. She scanned her own moisturizer and it had a really high score. It was Cetaphil so he was heading out to buy it.
Interestingly, CeraVe skin moisturizer, which is highly recommended for being effective and clean, had a bad score, because it contains petroleum. I’m going to check out some similar products for comparison.
I checked a sauce mix I use and it got a very low score. That’s ok because I only use a little a couple of times a year. It’s a flavour I love. It still will have me thinking about it.
“Yuka does not take into account the quantity of the bad ingredients within the product, only their presence. This can become an issue when scanning makeup and skincare products, as many that Yuka deems hazardous contain only a minuscule amount of the ingredient.”
I’m going to use Yuka as a guide. Their opinions don’t make it gospel. Caveat emptor.
