Yuka scans food, beauty & personal care products to decipher their ingredients and evaluate their impact on your health.
In a world of incomprehensible labels, Yuka provides clarity in one quick scan so you can make clear-sighted purchases.
Yuka uses a simple color code to inform you of the product's impact on your health: excellent, good, mediocre, or poor. You can access a detailed info page for each product, to help you understand its grade.
◆ 3 MILLION FOOD PRODUCTS ◆
Every product is evaluated according to 3 objective criteria: nutritional value, additives, and the organic dimension of the product.
◆ 2 MILLION BEAUTY PRODUCTS ◆
The scoring method relies on analyzing all of the product's ingredients. Every ingredient is assigned a level of risk, based on current scientific research.
◆ BEST PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS ◆
For any product with a negative grade, Yuka will recommend in total independence a similar product that's better for your health as an alternative.
◆ 100% INDEPENDENT ◆
Yuka is a 100% independent application. This means that product evaluations and recommendations are completely objective: no brand or manufacturer can influence them in one way or another. In addition, the application does not advertise. Find out more about our funding on our website.

This app has changed my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but it's accurate. I have changed my makeup, face cleansing, hair and skin hydration, and night time moisturizing routines based on its information. I've also started checking every item I'm interested in buying when I scroll through online stores. A quick check on Yuka and I know right away if there's anything harmful for me in that product. GREAT app. Free to use, but worth the full edition.

Fantastic app for finding and rating the health of prepared food or personal care items. Been using it for a few months, and it's been very quick to pick up on the problem ingredients. Only hiccup was with a product that was a soda where caramel color was flagged, as there are 4 different types - 2 are made from a chemical process and have many downsides to your health - however the app didn't pick up that there was an asterisk indicating that was organic, making it not possible to be those 2.

Hi David, thank you for taking time to leave a comment here! Could you please come back to me by email at team@yuka.io with a picture of the concerned product's barcode or a screenshot of it in the app? I will then be able to correct the information. :)

It's a great app. It would be perfect if you could add in the chemicals that aren't registering when updating ingredient lists. EG, these tortilla chips I bought had a rating of 90, and I updated the ingredient list, and it counted the questionable silicon dioxide, dropping the rating down to in the 40s. BUT it didn't count the brilliant blue fcf (known to cause tumours and cancer) or the allura red eyes in the mix. I want to know exactly what I'm eating, and things like that should be included.
