Know exactly what’s in your skincare.
Snap a photo of any ingredient list and get a clear, color-coded breakdown of what everything does. Then compare products or check whether your whole routine actually works together. All in seconds, all on your device.
Ingredient labels are written for chemists, not for you. FormuLens translates them. Point your camera at any product, and every ingredient is decoded and sorted by what it actually does. No typing, no searching, no chemistry degree.

Why it works
Built for fast ingredient decisions, not ingredient trivia.
The product story is simple: move from a confusing label to a confident choice without making the user search the internet, compare spreadsheets, or guess what matters.
Decode any label in seconds
See what each ingredient does, from humectants and emulsifiers to actives, preservatives, and fragrance, in plain language.
- Function-first explanations instead of chemistry jargon
- Color-coded scanning so the formula reads visually at a glance
- Trusted database links when you want to go deeper
Shop with better context
FormuLens highlights the ingredients that matter for each product type and flags anything unusual before it lands in your cart.
- Key ingredients starred by category
- Unusual formula choices surfaced quickly
- Helpful for store aisles, vanity cleanouts, and routine edits
Compare more than just claims
Put products side by side to see the actual formula differences, not just the marketing language printed on the bottle.
- Shared and unique ingredients called out clearly
- Hydration, actives, gentleness, and complexity summarized
- A plain-language verdict on how the products differ
Make your routine work together
Scan a full lineup in order and let the app surface overlap, conflicts, gaps, and layering guidance across the whole routine.
- Better sequencing between steps
- Conflict and redundancy checks in one pass
- Useful for both simple and ingredient-heavy routines
Product architecture
Three ways to analyze, one visual language throughout.
Each flow answers a different question, but every one of them lands in the same readable, color-led system so the product always feels coherent.
Compare
Scan several products of the same type and see how they stack up immediately.
- Best for deciding between products before you buy
- Great for moisturizers, cleansers, serums, and sunscreen swaps
Check My Routine
Scan products in order for layering guidance, overlap notes, and conflict alerts.
- Designed for multi-step routines
- Useful for active-heavy morning and evening stacks
Scan Collection
Scan any mix of products for a clean per-product breakdown without comparison rules.
- Ideal for cabinet audits and quick one-off checks
- Keeps the workflow light when you just need clarity fast
Onboarding flow
From bottle to verdict in five clean steps.
Pick your goal
Start in Compare, Check My Routine, or Scan Collection depending on the decision you need to make.
Choose the product type
Select from 23 categories across skincare, makeup, hair, bath and body, and fragrance so the analysis knows what to prioritize.
Snap or import the label
Photograph the ingredient list or pull from your library. If the label wraps around the bottle, capture it across multiple frames.
Read the color-coded breakdown
Every ingredient is grouped by function, with key ingredients starred and unusual ones flagged. Sunscreens preserve their Active and Inactive split.
Save what matters
Keep the scan with a custom name, notes, and tags so the work is reusable the next time you shop or rebuild your routine.
Who it serves
A calm tool for people who actually read the label.
Keep a searchable ingredient library
Save any analysis with a custom name, tags, and notes, then filter later. It is useful for remembering what worked, what irritated your skin, and what looked similar but was not.
Made for ingredient-conscious shoppers
- Routine enthusiasts fine-tuning actives and layering
- Sensitive shoppers watching for fragrance or known triggers
- K-beauty and J-beauty fans decoding dense INCI lists
- Parents checking what goes on their family's skin
