Skin Bliss vs. other apps

The so-called 'ingredient scanning apps' is a new emerging trend in beauty tech. They assess a cosmetic product based on the "quality" of its ingredients. It usually entails counting ingredients labeled as "bad" or "toxic" and counting the "good" ones, and comparing the numbers. Most of these apps rely on EWG as a source of their ingredients rating. EWG is a very controversial organization that uses fear-mongering techniques and is generally not accepted by the scientific community. In our approach, we evaluate the product as a whole rather than looking only at its ingredients separately. We rely on reputable sources for ingredient evaluation (such as the European Union's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS)), and lastly we incorporate expert knowledge in our assessment.

Can ingredients really be toxic?

In general, the ingredients that are used in products that you can buy in your local store have been tested and checked for safety. It is true, however, that some countries ban certain cosmetic ingredients that are still in use in other countries. It is also true that some ingredients are better for your skin and/or less harmful for the environment than others. Most of our ingredient information comes from the European Union's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS). So by using Skin Bliss, you are protected by the European scientific expertise and regulations, which are among the strictest and regarding skincare have the highest standard on the planet.

How do we recommend skincare?

We have been building an engine powered by Artificial Intelligence designed to understand, deconstruct, assess and recommend skincare. Our system is based on approximating and assessing product formulation in light of scientific evidence, ingredient data, and regulatory laws on the one hand, and detailed skin analytics on the other hand. In order to understand what the needs of different skin profiles are, we have been working with various skin experts and embedding their knowledge and expertise into our system. Our AI is not a black box, but a fully transparent and understandable system designed to serve all types of users.
