About this app

◆ 50 MILLION USERS ◆

Yuka scans food, beauty & personal care products to decipher their ingredients and evaluate their impact on your health.

In a world of incomprehensible labels, Yuka provides clarity in one quick scan so you can make clear-sighted purchases.

Yuka uses a simple color code to inform you of the product's impact on your health: excellent, good, mediocre, or poor. You can access a detailed info page for each product, to help you understand its grade.

◆ 3 MILLION FOOD PRODUCTS ◆

Every product is evaluated according to 3 objective criteria: nutritional value, additives, and the organic dimension of the product.

◆ 2 MILLION BEAUTY PRODUCTS ◆

The scoring method relies on analyzing all of the product's ingredients. Every ingredient is assigned a level of risk, based on current scientific research.

◆ BEST PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS ◆

For any product with a negative grade, Yuka will recommend in total independence a similar product that's better for your health as an alternative.

◆ 100% INDEPENDENT ◆

Yuka is a 100% independent application. This means that product evaluations and recommendations are completely objective: no brand or manufacturer can influence them in one way or another. In addition, the application does not advertise. Find out more about our funding on our website.

Fantastic app. Get ready to throw some stuff away though. I really like that they have unlimited scans in the free plan. It's $10+ a year if you want to manually search products (for like an Amazon purchase) but it's worth it. I paid them the $10 not only so I could manually type in a search but because the app is so good, Intuitive to use and downright informative that I wanted to reward the developers and make sure they stay in business. Get the app, Free or paid. You won't be disappointed!

Super legit. I've thrown out so much stuff; makeup, body wash, lotions, skincare, etc. It's easy to use, and I love that the app gives you alternatives to check out. I paid the $10/year to be able to look up items and I believe it was worth it. The only annoying part is the app can have difficulty scanning the ingredients on a product that isn't in the Yuka database. I've added 3 products myself and it took a couple tries to get it to focus on the list. :P check it out

This app is incredible...not only does it give you an overall score for each product, but it also breaks down each ingredient, what it is & level of risk to health, and then gives an explanation of ingredients that pose a risk-while citing it's sources! In addition, it will give you recommendations for swaps on items that have a poor rating, and break down the ingredients in those and save a list of everything you've scanned. My mind is blown. I've scanned my whole bathroom 😂
