## What is Pure Ninja?

Understand the ingredients in your food and cosmetics.

Photograph a label or paste its ingredient list. Pure Ninja uses AI to read the small print and explain ingredients in plain language, with context for your own decisions.

READ THE LABEL
Use your camera, choose a photo or paste text. Review the transcription, reading confidence and explanations of ingredients worth a closer look.

MAKE IT RELEVANT
Set your interests and ingredients you prefer to avoid. Explore ingredient roles, food additives and cosmetic ingredients, including fragrance-related context. Save products and find them again in your history.

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR CHOICES
Mark a product as kept or skipped. Review the last 7 or 30 days, the previous calendar month or your complete history. See which flagged ingredients appeared in products you chose to skip.

BUILD YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Read short ingredient guides with source links and clear explanations of what a label can and cannot tell you.

PURE NINJA PLUS
Full access requires a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription. Both plans include the same features. Your local price and billing period are shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Apple Account settings.

AI can make mistakes. Always compare the reading with the packaging. Pure Ninja provides educational information, not medical advice or a guarantee of product safety. Reports track your choices, not exposure or harm avoided. Selected label content and preferences are sent for AI analysis only with your consent.
