About

Giggli Ingredient Scanner

Features
Read full description

Giggli scans the ingredient list on anything you eat or put on your skin — food or cosmetics — and tells you plainly what's in it. HOW IT WORKS Snap a photo of an ingredient label, scan its barcode, or search an ingredient by name. Giggli checks it against a curated database of ingredients worth knowing about — flagged by severity, with a plain-language explanation of what each one is and why it's there. ONE APP, TWO CATEGORIES Switch between Food and Beauty with one tap. Each has its own ingredient database, its own filters, and its own history — scan a shampoo bottle, then a snack bag, without mixing the two up. Scan a barcode from the wrong category by mistake and Giggli automatically switches for you. THREE WAYS TO SCAN • Camera — photograph a label directly • Gallery — pick a photo you already have • Paste — copy an image from another app (WhatsApp, Safari, Photos) and paste it straight in • Barcode — scan the barcode for an instant lookup, no photo needed BUILD YOUR OWN WATCHLIST Add any ingredient you personally want flagged — build a Food list and a Beauty list, and every future scan checks against them automatically. FILTER FOR WHAT MATTERS TO YOU Dietary preferences (vegetarian, vegan, alcohol, pork-derived, and more) for food, and beauty-specific concerns (parabens, sulfates, silicones, pregnancy- safe, and more) for cosmetics — plus allergen tracking across both. SEARCH ANYTHING Don't have the product in hand? Search any ingredient by name and see whether it's flagged, how serious it is, and why — no scan needed. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account required. No ads. No tracking. Ingredient scanning happens on your device. The only time Giggli talks to the internet is to look up a barcode against Open Food Facts / Open Beauty Facts (open, crowdsourced product databases) — nothing you scan is ever collected or sent anywhere else. WORKS IN YOUR LANGUAGE Available in English, Spanish, Swedish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Korean, Chinese, and Finnish. Giggli isn't a substitute for medical or professional advice — if you have an allergy, medical condition, or dietary restriction, talk to a qualified health professional. It's a tool to help you read a label faster and understand what you're looking at.
