Yarai reads any ingredient label and judges each ingredient by how much is in the formula, not just whether it's there. Then it checks your whole routine for conflicts. Trace amounts and active doses score differently, the way real chemistry works.
What makes Yarai different
Most apps flag an ingredient the same whether it's at 0.1% or 10%. Yarai estimates roughly how much of each ingredient is present and scores it in context. A preservative at a trace level and the same preservative at an active concentration are not the same thing, and Yarai treats them differently. Thresholds follow EU cosmetic regulation (CosIng), the strictest major framework globally.
Point your camera at the ingredient list and it works, even on products that aren't in any database, even when there's no box and no barcode. This is how Yarai handles obscure, long-tail, and imported products that barcode-dependent apps can't read.
Yarai grades how your products interact, from minor (space them out) to significant (don't combine), with the reasoning for each. It's not a yes/no flag, it's a graded read of severity and why. The thing irritating your skin is usually not a single product; it's how several of them stack.
Our scoring is independent of commercial relationships. Brands cannot pay to change a score or a ranking. That independence is what makes the rest of it worth trusting.
From the App Store
The kind of app I wish existed years ago. Instead of throwing ratings at you, it explains what's inside products and how they fit into your routine.

Yarai has made skincare feel much more approachable. It explains things without assuming you are already an expert.

I can just take pictures of my products, and it instantly analyzes them, checks for ingredient conflicts, and explains everything clearly.

The interface is clean, easy to use, and the explanations are accessible even if you don't have a skincare background.

Our promise
The scoring stays independent of commercial relationships, permanently. If Yarai's business ever grows beyond subscriptions, that line does not move. However we earn money, it sits entirely outside the analysis.
What decides a product's score and its ranking is its ingredients, their concentrations, and the evidence behind them. Nothing else. Not who made it, not who sells it, not what anyone paid. A brand cannot pay to raise a score, rank higher, or be recommended. None ever has, and if that ever changes, we will say so plainly on this page.
Most tools in this space don't work that way. Ratings get shaped by partnerships. "Recommended" often means "paid for." We built Yarai to be the one that doesn't.
Skin truth, decoded. That only means something if the truth isn't for sale.
No sponsorships, no paid placements. Scores come from research, not relationships.
Every score is based on published data. Every conflict rule cites its source.
Your scans, your routine, your skin profile. Yours alone.
How we're funded: Yarai is free to scan and analyze. Premium features (unlimited AI routines, full conflict detection) are available via an optional subscription: $2.99/month or $19.99/year, with a 7-day free trial. That's how we stay independent. No ads, no brand sponsors, no data deals.
How our scores work: Scores start at 100 and subtract penalties based on each ingredient's estimated concentration and risk severity. Thresholds follow EU cosmetic regulation (CosIng), the strictest major framework globally. Where the EU and FDA disagree, we surface the divergence so you can decide. Routine conflicts are graded by severity (minor to significant), not binary yes/no flags. Every conflict rule cites its source in the codebase.
How it works
Three steps to understanding exactly what you're putting on your skin.
Point your camera at the ingredient list on any beauty product. YARAI's AI does the rest.
Yarai estimates each ingredient's concentration, scores it against EU safety thresholds, and adjusts for your skin profile. Trace amounts and active doses get different verdicts.
Keep it, skip it, or add it to your routine, with full ingredient transparency, always.
About YARAI
Most people have 10+ products on their shelf and no real idea which ones are working, which are redundant, or which are quietly conflicting. Yarai exists to answer that; by reading the ingredient lists you can't, and showing you what your routine is actually doing.
Yarai checks every ingredient against clinical data, then looks across your whole routine to flag conflicts and redundancies a single product label can't show you. No marketing claims, no brand influence; just the chemistry.
Skin truth, decoded.
Scores are based on estimated concentration, not binary presence. A trace amount and an active dose of the same ingredient get different verdicts.
Yarai grades how ingredients interact across your routine, from minor (space them out) to significant (don't combine), with reasoning, not just flags.
Point at the ingredient list and it works. Imported, indie, and long-tail products that barcode-dependent apps can't read? Yarai reads them.
No brand can pay to influence a score or ranking. Scoring follows EU regulatory thresholds and published clinical data, not commercial relationships.
Science, not scare tactics
Apps like Yuka flag an ingredient as "bad" regardless of how much is present, generating fear around ingredients that are safe at their actual concentration. A preservative at 0.01% and the same preservative at 2% get the same red flag. That's not analysis; it's a hazard list.
Yarai estimates concentration from INCI list position and judges in context. It scores your whole routine rather than one product in isolation. And it reads any front label with no barcode, so imported, indie, and long-tail products that barcode-dependent apps can't identify still get a full analysis.
Conflicts are graded by severity, from "space these apart" to "don't combine", with the chemical reasoning behind each. Not binary flags, but a contextual read of what matters and why.
The result is a functional assessment of your routine, not a hazard list that treats the dose as irrelevant.
