## What is ClearaScan?

Check what's actually on the label.

Shopping for yourself or someone you care about? ClearaScan helps you spot ingredients you need or prefer to avoid in food, skincare, cosmetics and everyday products.

Simply photograph the ingredient list on the product you're holding. ClearaScan reads the label and checks it against your personal Ingredient Guard, highlighting ingredients that match your selected rules.

No relying solely on barcode databases that may be out of date. Just the ingredients printed on the product in your hand.

DIFFERENT ALLERGIES. ONE FAMILY. ONE SCAN.
Create separate Ingredient Guards for the people you care about. Photograph a label once and check it against each person's own rules, without taking another photo or using another scan.

WHY THE ACTUAL LABEL
Ingredients can change, so ClearaScan reads the ingredient list in front of you. Long list or curved bottle? Add another photo and it combines them into one check. If it can't read the whole label, it tells you rather than showing a clear result.

FOOD, SKINCARE, COSMETICS AND MORE
Check ingredient labels across food, skincare, cosmetics and personal care.

TRUSTED PRODUCTS
Save products you've checked, so you can refer back to their ingredient information next time. Because ingredients change, ClearaScan reminds you to check again: Re-check due from 60 days, Re-scan overdue from 90.

CARE CIRCLE
Let someone you trust check for them. Share a profile with a grandparent, partner or carer. They scan against that person's Ingredient Guard on their own phone with their own ClearaScan account, and only you can change the list.

ALSO INCLUDED
- Labels abroad: supported foreign-language ingredient lists are translated into English and checked for you
- Editable starting lists for some conditions, such as coeliac disease, IBS and migraine, drawn from recognised sources. They're a starting point you can change, not medical advice
- Common alternative names for the major allergens, and "may contain" warnings flagged for review
- Reaction Journal to record what happened after using a product
- Emergency Allergy Card to share or print
- Scan History for every person
