## What is SkinStack AI?

SkinStack AI is your personal skincare intelligence — powered by AI that actually reads the label.

Point your camera at any skincare product and SkinStack AI will:

• Score every ingredient for YOUR skin type, concerns, and sensitivity
• Flag dangerous combinations with other products in your routine
• Find smarter alternatives based on your skin profile
• Build a full picture of your skincare shelf
• Let you ask Mel — your personal AI skincare advisor — anything

Unlike barcode scanners, SkinStack AI reads the actual ingredients list — so it works on any product, anywhere in the world, even if it's not in a database.

MEET MEL — YOUR AI SKINCARE ADVISOR
Mel knows your skin profile, your routine, and every product you've scanned. Ask her anything — ingredient questions, layering advice, what to avoid, what to add. Always personalised. Always on call.

PERSONALISED TO YOU
Set up your skin profile once (skin type, concerns, sensitivity level), and every scan is scored specifically for you. Oily skin gets different advice to dry skin. Redness-prone skin gets flagged differently to acne-prone skin.

INGREDIENT MATCHER
Scanned a product that isn't quite right for your skin? SkinStack AI finds smarter alternatives with similar or superior key actives that better suit your specific skin type and concerns — with a match score so you can compare them instantly.

ROUTINE CONFLICT DETECTION
Using retinol and vitamin C together? AHAs with retinol? SkinStack AI flags dangerous ingredient combinations across your entire routine before they damage your skin barrier.

SHELF AUDIT & WISHLIST
See your full product collection at a glance — average skin match score, products working for you, and ones to consider replacing. Save products to your Want to Try or Avoid lists.

FAMILY PROFILES
One app for the whole household. Add family members with their own skin profiles — baby-safe ingredient flagging for little ones, acne-focused analysis for teens, precise adult scoring for you.

Free tier: 1 scan per day + 3 Mel messages
Premium: unlimited scans, unlimited Mel AI chat, ingredient matcher, conflict detection, full shelf audit, family profiles
