Glow: Beauty Scan — AI Ingredient & Safety Scores for Skincare
Know what's really in your beauty products. Glow scans any skincare, makeup, haircare, or fragrance product and breaks down every ingredient in plain English. Powered by AI, it gives you clear safety scores so you can shop with confidence.
Scan any beauty product in seconds. Point your camera at a barcode or photograph any ingredient label. No barcode needed — Glow's AI reads INCI lists directly from the package. Get safety scores (0–100) for every product, every ingredient rated and explained, hazard warnings, fragrance allergen alerts, paraben and sulfate flags, and certification checks, all personalized to your skin and sensitivities.
Skincare, makeup, haircare, fragrance — all in one app. Glow covers your entire bathroom shelf. Each scan reveals Safety, Sustainability, and Transparency scores, plus vegan and cruelty-free verification, hazard flags, and certification checks pulled straight from the ingredient list.
Built for your skin. Set your preferences once — sensitive skin, fragrance-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, vegan, cruelty-free, or custom allergen lists — and every scan is personalized to you.
Millions of beauty products covered. From luxury skincare to drugstore shampoo, our database includes the brands you actually use. Product not in our database? Just photograph the ingredient label.
100% independent. No ads, no brand sponsorships, no paid placements. Glow is funded by its members, so our only job is helping you make informed choices.
Glow helps you see what's actually in the beauty products you put on your skin. The bottles on your counter. The labels you've been trusting without really reading.
This is Ava's story.
Every morning, Ava puts ten products on her face before she leaves the house. She's never read a single label all the way through.
The bottles she trusts the most are the ones she's never questioned.
She opens Glow and scans one. In a second, she sees everything — every ingredient, every irritant, every tradeoff, finally in plain English.
Instant Scan
Point your camera at any barcode or ingredient label. Glow reads it in a second and pulls the full breakdown. No typing, no searching.
The serum on her shelf cost more than her dinner last night. Niacinamide. Ascorbyl glucoside. Sodium hyaluronate. Names she's repeated without ever knowing.
Glow translates them. What each one is. What it actually does. Whether it matters for her skin.
Plain English
Every ingredient explained in a sentence. What it is, what it does, and whether it matters for your skin. No chemistry degree required.
Every product Ava scans gets one number.
Not from a brand. Not from an ad. Glow reads the ingredients themselves and quietly totals up the real story.
Safety Score
Every product gets one number, calculated from its actual ingredients, not branding or marketing. Decide in a glance whether it belongs in your routine.
So she can decide in a glance whether it belongs in her routine.
The moisturizer she's used for years. The new one her dermatologist suggested. Same price, different label, and only one fits her skin.
Glow puts them side by side. Ingredient for ingredient. The keeper becomes obvious.
Compare Side by Side
Scan two products and see how they stack up. Ingredient by ingredient, score by score, the decision becomes obvious.
Some jars never had a barcode. The cream she brought back from Seoul. The sample her sister handed her. The unmarked bottle from the apothecary downtown.
Ava points her camera at the ingredient list. Glow reads it straight off the package — every name, in order.
No Barcode Needed
Travel sizes, samples, anything imported — if there's an ingredient list on the package, Glow can read it straight from your camera.
Cleanser. Toner. Serum. Moisturizer. SPF. Then makeup, shampoo, the perfume she sprays on the way out.
Every step of the routine is a layer on her skin. Glow reads them all — so the morning ritual finally adds up instead of stacking up.
