Scan any product and instantly see what doesn't belong - switchnatural.com

  • Bargain hunters fine with free options like EWG Skin Deep

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Verdicts reflect the founder's own 'nontoxic' standards — expect flags on ingredients scientists consider safe.

medium

Support is one personal email (andrea@switchnatural.com); no team or SLA behind it.

low

Yearly subscription exists but the price is buried; check the app store before committing.

low

Content doubles as an affiliate storefront; recommendations carry purchase links and prices.
