About this app

Standing in a store, staring at an ingredient list you can't decode? Arin reads it for you.

Point your camera at a single product or an entire shelf and Arin explains every ingredient: what it is, how regulators classify it and, most importantly, whether it suits you.

PERSONALIZED, NOT GENERIC

Your allergies, checked automatically
Set up your allergies and sensitivities once. Every scan is checked against your profile; pregnancy, fragrance allergies or baby skin change the result. Filling in the profile is optional.

Explanations, not scores
Arin does not reduce a product to a single number. It describes each ingredient by its role, shows regulatory restrictions and allergen declarations with their sources, and writes a plain assessment of the whole product. It does not pass judgement; it relays how institutions classify an ingredient.

Scan one product or an entire shelf
Most ingredient scanners make you scan items one at a time. Arin can analyze a whole shelf in a single photo while you are actually shopping. Barcode and product name search are included.

BACKED BY REAL DATA, NOT GUESSWORK

Arin cross-checks every product against a database of 24,000+ ingredients built from:

EU Cosmetics Regulation banned and restricted lists (Annex II/III)
SCCS and ECHA assessments
Known endocrine disruptors
IFRA fragrance allergen declarations
Common irritants
PETA animal testing status

WHO IT'S FOR

Whether you are managing an allergy, avoiding a specific chemical class, choosing cruelty-free brands, or just want to know what is actually in the products you buy, Arin turns a confusing ingredient list into a clear explanation in seconds.

Arin does not provide medical advice. Consult your doctor for decisions about your health.

Download Arin and shop knowing what you buy.
