KindScan is the only scanner with a distinct Safe / Caution / Avoid / No safety data verdict for every life-stage member of your family — pregnant partner, newborn, toddler — in one scan, not one generic score. Scan a barcode, snap a label, or paste a URL. Our Chrome extension shows the same per-person verdicts on Amazon, Target, iHerb and more. Plain-language reasons, checkable sources, free recall alerts. No paid placements. We never sell your family's health data.

Hi Product Hunt 👋
I built KindScan after one too many nights squinting at an ingredient list — in a pharmacy aisle, or at 2am with a baby asleep on my chest — thinking "is this actually okay for him?"
The hard part: "safe" isn't one answer. What's fine for me isn't fine for a 3-month-old, or for my partner when she was pregnant. Every other app gives a single score for the product. Families aren't a single score.
Yuka (76 million users) and EWG score the product — one number, the same for everyone in your family. SafeMom gets closer with pregnancy-specific safety flags, but ends when the baby is born. No scanner follows a family across every life stage.
So KindScan gives a verdict per person: Safe, Caution, Avoid — or No safety data (we tell you when we don't know, instead of guessing). Scan a barcode, photograph the label, or paste an Amazon link, and see those verdicts for everyone in your household, with plain-language reasons and sources you can check yourself.
And because most of us shop online now, there's a Chrome extension too: it reads the ingredients right on the product page (Amazon, Target, iHerb…) and shows the same per-person verdicts inline, so you never have to leave the page you're already on.
A few promises baked in: recall alerts are free for everyone (a safety alert should never sit behind a paywall), no brand ever pays to look safer, and we never sell your family's health data.
It's free to start. I'd love honest feedback — especially from other parents. What would make you trust an ingredient-safety app with your family's health data?

Finally a scanner that doesn't give my wife and my toddler the same generic verdict, the per-life-stage breakdown actually changed what I bought last week. Plain-language reasons with checkable sources feels like the default should have been years ago.

love the per life-stage breakdown idea, super useful for our house. one thing though, could you add an option to save products to like a family list so we can reference stuff we've already checked without rescanning? would honestly make it way more useful day to day

Scanned a baby shampoo I'd been using for months and found out the caution was specific to my toddler, not me. That kind of per-person breakdown actually makes me trust it more than the usual "safe for everyone" scores.

honestly this looks really thoughtful, especially the per life-stage verdicts since that part is usually where generic ingredient apps fall apart for me. one thing though, it would be super helpful if you could save a running list of stuff you've scanned for each family member so you can revisit past verdicts, especially when recipes or new products come up that share ingredients. would make the whole thing feel more like a real household tool
