Ingredo.app for sensitive skin and eczema

Turn on the Sensitive-skin / eczema profile and Ingredo.app flags common irritants — fragrance, certain preservatives, and known sensitisers — as a caution on every cosmetic you scan, citing the source behind each flag. It's a screening aid, not a patch test.

Skin sensitivity is individual and can change over time, so most flags here are a caution rather than a hard block — they tell you what to watch for, not what's universally unsafe.

If you have diagnosed eczema or a known contact allergy, a dermatologist-supervised patch test is still the reliable way to confirm a specific ingredient is safe for you.

Common questions

It flags common irritants so you can screen products faster, but it isn't a diagnosis or a patch test — check with a dermatologist for a confirmed condition.

Skin sensitivity varies a lot between people, so we flag known irritants as something to watch rather than an absolute avoid.

Informational, not medical advice — always check the label. Skin reactions are individual; for diagnosed eczema or a known allergy, confirm with a dermatologist-supervised patch test rather than a scan alone.
