For ingredient readers
The polymer is in the ingredient list
Polyethylene in the scrub, acrylates copolymer in the mascara, dimethicone crosspolymer in the primer. Many cosmetics hide plastic polymers in plain sight under names nobody recognizes. Paste any label and the ingredient checker flags exactly what to avoid.

How the ingredient checker works
Snap or paste the label
Photograph the ingredient list or paste it as text. Long INCI lists are exactly what it was built for.
See the polymers flagged
Known plastic polymers and packaging risks like BPA are highlighted with a plain-language explanation of each.
Compare and swap
Scan the alternative on the same shelf. Same product category, different score, and the reasons side by side.
Beyond the label
Rinse-off microbeads were banned. Leave-on polymers were not. The checker knows the difference and says so.
Leave-on vs rinse-off
A polymer in lip balm sits on your mouth all day. The same polymer in a face wash rinses off in seconds. Scores reflect that.
Packaging counts too
Squeeze tubes, droppers and jars are scored with the formula, because warm bathrooms and plastic packaging interact.
Routine audit
Scan your whole shelf once and the app ranks your routine from cleanest to worst, so you know what to replace first.
Research receipts
Ingredient flags cite the studies and regulatory lists they come from. Check the evidence before you toss anything.
Ask the Plastic Coach
A coach trained on the same research as the scanner. Ask it anything about your results, in plain language.
Is dimethicone a microplastic?
It is a silicone, not a plastic polymer, and it behaves differently in the environment and on skin. The ones to watch on your labels are polyethylene, acrylates copolymer and carbomer in leave-on products.
My lip balm lists polybutene. Bad?
It is a synthetic polymer that sits on your lips all day, where some of it gets ingested. Leave-on plus mouth contact is the highest-exposure combination in beauty. I can suggest wax-based swaps that score much lower.
