How the ingredient analyzer works

1. Scan any label

Point your camera at the ingredient list on any beauty product. Yarai's AI reads the text directly, so it works on imported products, indie brands, and anything without a barcode. No database lookup required.

2. Dosage-aware scoring

Most ingredient apps flag a substance the same whether it's at 0.1% or 10%. Yarai estimates roughly how much of each ingredient is present from its position in the INCI list, then scores it against EU safety thresholds. A preservative at a trace level and the same preservative at an active concentration get different verdicts.

3. EU regulatory data

Ingredient thresholds follow EU cosmetic regulation (CosIng), the strictest major framework globally. Where the EU and FDA disagree on an ingredient, Yarai shows the divergence so you can decide for yourself.

4. Routine-level analysis

Individual product scores only tell part of the story. Yarai checks how all your products interact, catches conflicts (like mixing AHAs with retinol), flags redundancies, and grades each interaction by severity with the chemical reasoning behind it.

No barcode required

Reads the ingredient list directly from the label. Works on any product in any language, including imports and indie brands that barcode scanners can't identify.

Personalized to your skin

Set your skin type, concerns, and sensitivities. Yarai adjusts scores to flag what matters for your skin specifically, not generic warnings.

Pregnancy safety flags

Ingredients restricted during pregnancy (retinoids, salicylic acid, etc.) are flagged automatically when you enable pregnancy mode.

Independent scoring

No brand can pay to change a score or ranking. Scoring comes from EU regulatory data and published clinical research, not commercial relationships.

What can I scan?

Any beauty or skincare product with an ingredient list: cleansers, serums, moisturizers, sunscreens, masks, toners, body lotions, shampoos, deodorants, and more. If it has an INCI list, Yarai can read it.

Yarai also handles products with no barcode, products from overseas, indie/small-batch products, and anything your usual scanner app says "not found" on. Point at the ingredients and it works.
