What people are saying
Obsessed with this app and wish I had it for my first pregnancy (currently pregnant with number two)!! As a physician I knew the obvious things to avoid but really wanted to optimize clean ingredients while carrying and an online search for what ingredients to avoid only left me feeling more confused and overwhelmed. This app makes all things skincare during pregnancy so simple and puts your mind at ease plus love the explanations it provides to make educated choices. 100% worth the purchase and would recommend for all my pregnant mamas!

I’m currently at 5 weeks and looking through all of my routines to make sure I’m not exposing myself or the baby to anything harmful. This app scans the text on products incredibly well and identifies risky ingredients as low, medium, or high. It’s been a huge blessing because it offers me peace of mind during some pretty nerve-racking times.

I’ve used this app since 2023 and I am always so pleased every time I use it. I’m a skincare lover, but it so hard to know what’s safe, this takes the guess work out of it and breaks it down in a simple to understand way.

I looove love love this app. As a mom who is very mindful of toxic products and safety, especially around my babies, this has added another level of peace of mind for me! It’s very user friendly with the ability to either scan a barcode or copy/paste an ingredient list, if you’re shopping for products and want to verify their safety first. Would absolutely recommend for first, second, third etc. time moms-to-be to make your pregnancy a little bit safer and easier!

It’s probably the most worthy paid-app I have ever paid . As a mom who experienced 2 miscarriages and finally got pregnant through super expensive IVF, this app reassures me a lot on the product I buy that it doesn’t contain any harmful ingredient to my baby . The details of each harmful ingredient are very insightful . The scan function is easy to use both for scan from the product, and upload label picture

This app helped me to realize majority of my pre-pregnancy skincare was unsuitable during pregnancy! I have been able to find pregnancy safe swaps with ease through the app and I am so happy this app exists!

I recommend highly for pregnancy, easy interface and educational. I was surprised how 90% of the sunscreen in my store has potentially harmful ingredients. The best part is it doesnt just say "retinol=bad" it gives you a level of risk, low medium or high. Then it explains the research studies results which makes it give that rating. Eg. mice studies have had effects on foetus but not in human studies. This gives me the ability to make informed decisions about the risks I'm willing to take.
