Beauty mode activates automatically when a cosmetic barcode is detected — you'll see the purple BEAUTY PRODUCT banner instead of the gold food banner.

What We Flag

The Gorilla Fuel beauty scanner checks your personal care products against Open Beauty Facts — a global database of cosmetic and personal care ingredients.

Parabens

Methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, ethylparaben.

Sulphates

Sodium lauryl sulphate, sodium laureth sulphate.

Endocrine disruptors

Oxybenzone, BHA, BHT, triclosan.

Artificial fragrance & parfum

Catch-all terms that can hide hundreds of undisclosed compounds.

PEG compounds

Penetration enhancers that may carry contaminants.

Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives

Slow-release preservatives flagged across evidence tiers.

Ingredients are graded with the same evidence tier system used for food — Strong Consensus, Emerging, Contested, and Precautionary.

Sunscreen: Clean vs Flagged

Same scanner, run across popular sunscreens. "Clean" and "reef-safe" aren't regulated words, so we read the actual ingredient list and score what's really on your skin. Scores are live from Open Beauty Facts and can shift if a brand reformulates.

A flagged score isn't a safety verdict — it means the formula contains ingredients we flag (fragrance, parabens, PEGs and the like). Plenty of people use these products without issue. We show the reasoning so you can decide for yourself. Want your own sunscreen checked? Scan it →

Buy links are Amazon affiliate links — if you buy through one we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only ever link the products that scored well; it never changes a score.

⚠ DATA COVERAGE — Beauty product data comes from Open Beauty Facts, a community maintained database. Coverage varies by product. Canadian personal care products are not required to disclose all ingredients in the same way food products are. Always verify ingredients on the product label.
