Every skincare product makes a promise. Skinventry checks whether the formula keeps it. Photograph the front of any bottle, jar, or tube. Put it down. In about five seconds you get a verdict on the claims printed on the front. EVERYTHING TURNS ON ONE LINE Ingredients present above 1% must be listed strongest first. Below 1%, any order is legal. Find that line and you know what you actually paid for. Skinventry locates it on every label, then tells you which side your active is on. A retinol serum whose retinol sits below the line is under 1%. The published trials behind retinol used 0.3% to 1%. BANNED, RESTRICTED, AND WHO SAID SO Skinventry names the ingredients a real regulator has acted on, and names the regulator. Hydroquinone, banned in EU cosmetics and prescription only in the US since 2020. Mercury and lead acetate, banned outright. Lilial, banned in the EU in 2022. The long chain parabens the EU banned in 2015, while leaving methyl and ethyl alone. Oxybenzone and octinoxate, banned in Hawaii, Key West and Palau. Formaldehyde releasing preservatives. The 2025 EU retinol caps. Facts about regulation, not opinions about safety. Nothing here is scored red to make you anxious. WHAT ELSE IT CATCHES Claims with nothing behind them. A product sold as encapsulated needs a carrier in the formula: a cyclodextrin, a liposome, a phospholipid. If none is there, the claim has nothing to stand on. Unscented that is not unscented. Fragrance components are declared by name because they are common contact allergens. Skinventry reads them even when the front of the box says fragrance free. Words no regulator defines. Non comedogenic, hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, clean, natural. Skinventry tells you what each one actually requires, which in every case is nothing. An SPF number with no filter under it. Sun protection comes from a defined set of UV filters. Skinventry names the ones present, or flags their absence. EVERY INGREDIENT, EXPLAINED Not just the headline actives. Skinventry names what every line item is doing in the formula, in plain words: the humectants, the barrier lipids, the silicones, the surfactants, the preservative system. Tap any one to read what it is and why it is there. THE MYTHS IT REFUSES TO REPEAT Most ingredient apps warn you about everything, because fear is easy. Skinventry corrects instead. Vitamin C and niacinamide are fine together. The reaction behind that myth needed heat and an unbuffered lab mixture. Azelaic acid and a retinoid are prescribed together on purpose. Nothing there needs splitting across morning and night. FREE, AND ACTUALLY FREE The verdict engine runs on your phone. Typing a product in by name is free and unlimited, forever, with no account. Premium adds unlimited photo checks from the camera and your full saved history. The free tier is not a trial. PRIVATE Photos stay on your device. No account is required to check anything. Skinventry reasons about products, never about you. It reads labels and formulas. It does not assess your skin and it is not medical advice. If something on your skin concerns you, a dermatologist is the right next stop. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Skinventry Pro is an auto renewable subscription.

PHOTOGRAPH AND PUT IT DOWN The shutter no longer makes you stand there holding a bottle while the app thinks. Take the picture and the work finishes on its own. BANNED AND RESTRICTED INGREDIENTS Skinventry now names the ingredients a real regulator has acted on, and names the regulator: hydroquinone, mercury, lilial, the EU banned parabens, the reef banned UV filters, formaldehyde releasers, the 2025 retinol caps. Regulation, not opinion. EVERY INGREDIENT EXPLAINED Tap any line in the list to read what it actually is and why it is in the formula. A WARMER APP The whole app moved to the warm palette the website has always used, so Skinventry looks like Skinventry everywhere. The original hands and dropper intro is back. Free still means free: checking a product by name is unlimited, with no account. ### 2.1.2 — 2026-07-28 The Skin Care tab is now the Shelf Assistant, one tap from anywhere. Ask about anything on your shelf and get an answer about your actual products. - Rebuilt the assistant so it opens instantly instead of as a pop up - Photo Skin Reads now live inside the assistant - Clearer free and premium limits throughout the app - Retired the weekly Sunday letter - Store listing updated to match what the app does today - Stability and performance fixes ### 2.1.1 — 2026-06-21 Cleaner shelves, sharper Premium. • Professional photos, in bulk. After a Scan Your Whole Shelf, replace every product's stand in photo with a clean catalog shot in one tap. The single product swap now lives right on the items that need it. • It keeps working. Photo lookups now continue in the background, so you can leave a screen and come back without starting over or tapping twice. • A clearer Premium. Premium now reads your selfie Skin Reads and progress photos, pulls professional product images, and keeps your full Skin Record, with no limits anywhere. • Polish and fixes throughout. ### 2.0.1 — 2026-06-13 - Duplicate detection. When you add a product that's already on your shelf, the app now catches it and asks whether it's a fresh one replacing the old bottle (it renews the existing one, so no duplicate) or a genuinely separate second one. No more accidental doubles of the same product. - Pasting a link now brings the real product photo. This is the big one from this round — the shelf's "Paste a product link" uses the same mechanism the wishlist does, reading the retailer's product image straight off the page, so the product lands on your shelf with its clean white-background photo instead of a placeholder. - The white screen is fixed. That blank screen you hit in the add and paste flows was React Navigation defaulting to a white background; it now paints dark everywhere, so the whole flow stays dark. - The expensive background image lookup is gone. No more sweeping the cloud across your whole shelf; image fetching only happens at the two moments you wanted it, a group scan and a pasted link. ### 2.0 — 2026-06-12 NEW: Shelf Scan. Point your camera at your counter and get every label read, plus a verdict on what your shelf says about you. NEW: The Sunday Skin Read. Every Sunday at 7pm, a letter about your week on the shelf, written from your real routine. Free, every week. NEW: Ingredient analysis. Every product fully read, every ingredient graded. NEW: One tap routines. Mark your whole morning or evening done in a single tap, with streaks and reminders that never nag about something you already did. NEW: Bulk shelf editing. Long press to select products, then finish or remove them together. Plus a complete redesign: dark, editorial, and calm. A new opening. The free shelf grew to 12 products, and a short tour shows you around on first open. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
