FAQ

How does the skincare ingredient checker work?
GlowLens uses AI to analyze cosmetic ingredient lists against known safety data. Simply search for an ingredient or scan a product, and you'll get a safety score from 0 to 100, a concern level (low, medium, or high), and a short explanation of what the ingredient does. It's like having a cosmetic ingredient analyzer in your pocket.
Is GlowLens free to use?
Yes, GlowLens is completely free. You can search ingredients, scan products, and access full safety reports without creating an account or paying anything. Our beauty ingredient safety database is open to everyone who wants to know what's in their skincare.
What cosmetic ingredients should I avoid?
It depends on your skin type and sensitivities, but common ingredients flagged with high concern scores include certain parabens, formaldehyde releasers, and some synthetic fragrances. Use our ingredient checker to look up specific ingredients — we'll tell you exactly what the safety research says and whether you should be cautious.
How many ingredients does GlowLens analyze?
Our database grows every day as users scan new products. We currently track thousands of cosmetic ingredients found across beauty products worldwide. Each ingredient gets an AI-generated safety score, concern level, and description — so you always get up-to-date analysis, not outdated static lists.

Ingredient transparency shouldn't require a chemistry background. GlowLens exists because every person deserves to understand what they're putting on their skin. Our AI-powered analysis combines safety research with real product data so you can make informed choices — not fearful ones. Knowledge is the real glow-up.
