The honest ingredient checker
The plain truth about what’s on your skin.
We read the label, grade every ingredient on the actual evidence, and score the product out of 100. No fear, no hype. We tell you what is genuinely worth watching, and just as clearly, which fears the evidence does not support.
How the PlainScore works
1
Read the label
Every ingredient, in order, plus any hidden fragrance blend.
2
Grade the evidence
Concern is cited to the CIR, EU SCCS, and FDA. Never to hazard-score lists.
3
Score it, honestly
Out of 100. Feared-but-fine ingredients cost nothing.
Recently scored
All products →Commonly feared, low concern
The clean-beauty internet loves an ingredient to fear. For most of the usual suspects, the published evidence does not support it. We grade them low concern and show the receipts.
