## What is Skincare Scan?

Confusing ingredient lists? We translate them instantly. Sana uses AI and peer‑reviewed science to decode every skincare label, flag risky chemicals, and tell you whether a product actually fits *your* skin type.

Why You’ll Love It
- Plain‑English breakdown – point the camera or paste a list and get a simple explanation of each ingredient.
• Science‑based safety score – traffic‑light rating from 1 (Low) to 10 (High) risk, built on cosmetic toxicology research.
• Personal verdict – instantly see whether a formula suits your specific skin type (oily, sensitive, acne‑prone).
• History & favourites – save past scans locally, no account required.
• 100% independent – no ads, no sponsored products, no brand bias.

How It Works
1. Scan or paste. Our Vision‑powered OCR captures the ingredient list with a tap.
2. AI analysis. Sana parses every ingredient and cross‑checks it with up‑to‑date cosmetic science to tailor results to your profile.
3. Get your verdict. See the safety score, plain‑language function tag, and overall “Yes / Maybe / No” match for your skin.

Perfect For
- Shoppers with sensitive or eczema‑prone skin who need to avoid irritants.
- Anyone moving toward clean beauty and toxin‑free routines.
- Curious shoppers who want plain‑language explanations of every chemical name.

Privacy First
All scans stay on‑device except the minimal text we send (anonymously) to our AI proxy for analysis.
