About this app

Scan a product. Review its rating. Pick the better choice.

Healthy living just got that easy.

From snacks to shampoos: We are exposed to chemicals every second, yet we know very little about them. To help you navigate this complicated world and make safer choices, EWG combined two of our most popular resources, our Skin Deep and Food Scores databases, to form our Healthy Living App. Now EWG's trusted ratings for more than 120,000 food and cosmetics products are at your fingertips.

Just scan a barcode, search by name or browse by category, and EWG will give you an easy-to-understand 1-10 score (1 being the best!) backed by science you can trust.

Better beauty and healthy living has never been easier.

The scoring is unclear. Something could be rated A but the details don't support that score, or vise versa. Which if you score a product D you should be able to support your reasoning. Also the search is not consistent. I searched a specific laundry sheet and it appeared. however when I search general laundry sheets, that product doesn't even appear. The app gives the impression that certain products may pay for visibility and the scoring is too inconsistent.

I just realize I never actually "created an account" for this app, but I've been using it for about 4 years. I've told everyone I know about it back when I first found it. But they weren't ready to accept the truth. I'm excited to say some are coming around now. It has improved so much from the version I first fell in love. I swear I probably added enough products to keep them busy for a straight year when I first found it. I would continue singing their prsises, but I'm out of letters. 500=N/E

I use this alongside other apps to verify product authenticity and find healthier options. Unfortunately, its database is significantly lacking compared to other leading apps with similar features. One of my biggest frustrations is the barcode scanning feature—many products listed as EWG-approved can’t even be scanned because they’re not in the database. This makes the app feel unreliable and raises some skepticism.
