Hi Product Hunt, I'm the dev behind LuxSense. This started because I kept buying skincare I couldn't actually evaluate. Ingredient lists are designed to be unreadable, with no context for what's safe, what's restricted, or why anything is on the label. The apps that exist treat certain ingredients as poison without explaining what they actually do, and the bigger issue I kept hitting, most of them simply don't have the product in their database. None of them could just scan the ingredients directly off a bottle, especially a curved one or a wraparound label and provide an analysis on the spot. So I built the one I wanted. Scan a barcode, or if the product isn't in our system, scan the ingredient label itself on any packaging surface, curved or flat. Get a 0-100 score per ingredient backed by data sources you can verify, and share the analysis with friends. Under the hood: - 33,000+ ingredients from the EU's official CosIng database - PubChem hazard codes (US National Library of Medicine) - EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009 Annex II (banned) and Annex III (restricted) status - Peer-reviewed research where it exists - Full methodology published at myluxsense.com/methodology, so every score is traceable to its inputs What's different from existing tools: - Scan any ingredient label directly, even on curved packaging, no barcode required - EU-first, not US-first like EWG or Think Dirty - Real regulatory data, not opaque internal scoring - No affiliate links, no sponsored ingredients, no brand pays for a higher score - Editorial UI: no red sirens, no "toxic" labels, calibrated language Free to scan and look up ingredients. Premium (€4.99/mo or €29.99/yr, 7-day trial) unlocks unlimited scans and history. I'd love feedback on three things: 1. Does the scoring feel calibrated to you, or too cautious / too lenient? 2. Anything in the UI that confused you on the first scan? 3. Ingredients you'd want covered that aren't yet? I'll be in the thread all day. Thanks for taking a look.
