Label X

Ever wonder if "natural" actually means anything on a label? Label X-Ray scans a barcode, snaps a photo, or reads a pasted ingredient list — for both food and cosmetics — and gives you a plain-English verdict in seconds: is this genuinely clean, greenwashed marketing, or heavily processed? No jargon, no chemistry degree required. HOW IT WORKS • Scan a barcode with your camera, snap a photo of the label (multi-photo capture handles curved bottles and long labels), or paste an ingredient list by hand • Get an instant verdict — Clean, Greenwashed, or Processed — plus a 0-100 quality score • See exactly which ingredients drove the verdict, and why, in plain language • Get a concrete suggestion for a genuinely better choice • Ask a follow-up question about any ingredient and get a quick, clear answer WORKS FOR FOOD AND COSMETICS Switch between food products and cosmetics/skincare, each with its own allergy and sensitivity list tailored to what actually matters for that category. WHAT YOU GET • A quick organic status check (yes / no / partially) • A shopper-friendly summary, not a lab report • Specific ingredient call-outs, worst first • Personalized allergy warnings based on your own list • Scan history so you can revisit past results FREE TO START Get 5 complimentary free scans during your first month, no account or sign-up required. Need more? Subscribe for 20, 50, or 200 scans/month, or grab a one-time scan pack. IMPORTANT Label X-Ray is an informational tool, not medical or dietary advice. Always check the actual product label yourself, especially if you have an allergy or medical condition. Terms of Use: https://label-xray-backend.onrender.com/terms
