About
Skincare safety you can actually check
Caredermis reads the ingredient list on a skincare product and tells you, in plain English, what's worth knowing — the allergens, irritants, hormone-disruptor concerns and cancer-research classifications — and who should take extra care. Every claim traces back to a named authority, so you don't have to take our word for it.

Why we built it
Most “is this toxic?” tools fall into one of two traps: they either wave everything through, or they slap a scary label on ordinary ingredients to get a reaction. Neither helps you make a real decision. We wanted something a careful person could trust — a report that's honest when there's nothing to worry about, specific when there is, and transparent about where every judgment comes from.
So we built Caredermis on published safety data rather than opinions, and made a point of showing our work: a full methodology page explains exactly how a score is calculated and which source flagged what.
Where the data comes from
Ingredient assessments are built by ingesting official datasets — not hand-typed, and never invented by us. Among them:
- EU CosIng — the European Commission cosmetics inventory (Annexes II–VI: prohibited, restricted, colorants, preservatives, UV filters)
- IARC — the WHO cancer-research agency's carcinogen classifications
- ECHA CLP — the EU's harmonised CMR and skin-sensitiser classifications
- CIR — the industry Cosmetic Ingredient Review expert panel conclusions
- SCCS — the EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety opinions
- US FDA — prohibited & restricted cosmetic ingredients
- NTP — the US National Toxicology Program Report on Carcinogens
- California Prop 65 — the OEHHA list of chemicals known to the state
Product labels come from Open Beauty Facts, an open community database — formulations change, so we always ask you to verify against your own packaging.
Our promises
No sign-up, no selling your data.
You can check a product without an account, and we don't build a profile on you to sell.
Sourced, not sensational.
If an authority hasn't flagged something, we say so plainly instead of inventing a risk.
Not medical advice.
We summarize published findings about ingredients — not clinical testing of a specific product. For medical concerns, see a dermatologist.
A note from us
Caredermis started with a simple frustration: reading a label and having no idea which words mattered. We think everyone deserves a straight answer, sourced and free. If it helps you make one better choice at the shelf, it's doing its job.
