How it works

Three taps from bottle to verdict.

Designed to be the fastest, most honest second opinion in your bathroom. You scan, we read, you decide.

Step 01

Scan the back of the bottle.

Point your camera at any product’s ingredient list or barcode. Works offline. We read the label — never store the photo.

Step 02

Two scores in two seconds.

A health score for the formula and a personal match for your skin. Plain numbers, plain English — no greenwash.

95HEALTH90YOUR SKIN
Step 03

See exactly why.

Every score breaks down per ingredient — what’s good, what’s flagged, and the source paper for the call. Decide for yourself.

One tap · one verdict

Two scores. Zero fluff.

A health score tells you how the formula stacks up against research. A skin match tells you whether it’s right for you — your type, your concerns, your sensitivities.

The receipt

We show our work.

Every score breaks down per ingredient — and we tell you when we’re not sure. No vague “clean” / “dirty” labels. Just the math, the citations, and the call.

Niacinamide · supportive

4 randomized trials show barrier improvement at 2–5% concentration. Common, well-tolerated.

Glycerin · supportive

Long-standing humectant. Pulls water into the stratum corneum. Safe at any concentration.

!

Fragrance · context-dependent

One of the top three skin sensitizers in patch-test studies. We flag it because your profile lists “sensitivity.”

×

Methylisothiazolinone · flagged

EU Scientific Committee deemed unsafe in leave-on products. We don’t recommend leave-on use.

Built from your shelf

A routine that remembers you.

AM and PM, auto-built from products you already own. With a daily face check that watches the trendline — not the day.

FAQ

Reasonable questions.

Things people ask before they download. If yours isn’t here, write us at hello@nooki.io — a human replies.

How is Glo different from Yuka, INCI Decoder, or EWG?
Two big ways. First, we publish our methodology and the source papers behind every flag — most apps don’t. Second, Glo gives you two scores: an objective health score for the formula and a personal match score for your skin type, concerns, and sensitivities. Most apps only do the first.
Where do your ingredient scores come from?
We aggregate from PubMed, EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety reports, peer-reviewed dermatology journals, and concentration data from cosmetic regulators. Eleven independent dermatologists review our scoring rubric quarterly. Brands have no input.
Do you sell my data, or take money from brands?
No, and no. 100% of our revenue is from your subscription. We don’t have advertising partnerships, sponsored placements, or “affiliate” relationships with the brands we score. We can’t be bought.
Does the face check actually work?
It tracks four things from a daily photo: hydration cues, redness, evenness, and texture. None of it is a medical diagnosis — it’s a trendline. The point isn’t “your skin is 7/10 today,” it’s “your hydration has dropped two weeks in a row, look at what you changed.”
What if a product isn’t in your database?
Snap the ingredient list and we’ll score it on the fly. If we can’t read the label clearly, you can submit it manually — we usually get it in within 48 hours and notify you when it’s ready.
Is there a free version?
The annual plan comes with a 7-day free trial. Monthly is $10/mo with no trial. After the trial it’s $30/year. We don’t run a freemium tier because it inevitably means pushing users to upgrade — and we’d rather just charge a fair price.
How do I cancel?
From your iPhone Settings → Subscriptions → Glo. One tap. We don’t have a retention team or a “wait, before you go” flow. You can resubscribe whenever.
