Ingredient List Reader
Snap the back of
a product you own
Take a photo of the ingredient list, or paste it, and we will pick out the ingredients our encyclopedia covers. We do not judge products as good or bad. This is a tool for reading labels.
🔒 The photo was read on this device only. It was not sent anywhere.
If anything was misread, fix the text above, then press Compare.
For best results, fill the frame with the ingredient list and shoot in good light, in focus.
What we record
When you press Compare, we record the names of the active ingredients our encyclopedia covers, together with the remaining entries grouped as “other”, so we can study which ingredients are used together and draw on that when planning articles and products. These records are kept separate from anything that identifies you (visitor ID, IP address). We do not store the list you paste as text, or any photo you take.
What this cannot do
It does not judge a product’s quality, safety or efficacy. Amounts cannot be read from an ingredient list — ingredients at 1% or less, and colourants, may be listed in any order — so the order tells you nothing about how much is in there. Camera reading can make mistakes.
* This does not indicate that any product is better than another. We do not store product or brand names.
