GreenScan

Do you know the composition of your cosmetics?

The GreenScan app checks the composition of products for you! Once scanned, this unique mobile app displays clear and straightforward information about the product's ingredients and how they affect your health and the planet. Everything is COMPLETELY FREE - NO PAID PREMIUMS AND THE LIKE :-)

How does it work?

1. Scan or write: Simply scan the barcode or type in the name of the product.

2. Get the information: The app will show you a rating of the product ingredients.

3. Upload a product: If a product isn't in the database you can add it yourself!

4. Rating of the ingredients: You will find a colourful number scale under the curios icon ❓ - your personal decoder of the ingredients' secrets! Just a quick glance and you know where your favourite product stands.

5. Ingredient details: By clicking on an ingredient, you will quickly find out if it's suitable for you.

6. Resources and studies. For those who want to know more, there is detailed information on the website (https://green-gate.eu/cs).

How do we grade?

1. First of all, we don't evaluate/rate products: we focus on the ingredients and their worst properties.

2. A colour grading scale: different colours show how safe or harmful an ingredient is.

3. The ground rule: Although the grading is primarily based on the worst property of an ingredient, we can't forget about the positive aspects and contributions.

4. Sources: We believe in science! Our data comes from trusted sources and studies.

5. Relevancy: We’re human and we update accordingly to our possibilities. If you find outdated information, we will gladly adjust it.

Why GreenScan?

1. Free for all: Yes, the app is and always will be free!

2. Community: Actively participating is key - the more products you add to the database, the better the app can keep us informed. What you add to the app, is what you find in the app. Together we are creating a database, which is there for us all!

3. Support in 4 languages: EN, CZ, SK, SI - GreenScan is here for you!

F&Q - Answers to your questions.

1. Is it free? Yes, GreenScan is completely free and it will stay that way!

2. Which products will I find there? We focus on cosmetics and gradually add detergents and cleaning products as well.

3. The app isn’t working, what do I do? Email us at and we will help you.

4. I didn't find a product, what now? You can add it yourself or reach out to us and we will take care of it.

5. Can I add products to the database? Yes, we will be happy for any contribution to expand the database!

The GreenScan app is and will remain a non-profit. It is funded from various sources (donations, own investments, grants...), but always under the condition of independence and with a guarantee of transparency.

If you have any ideas on how to support the project, for example, by adding products to our database or contributing to the development of our shared work, don’t hesitate to let us know: .

The GreenGate project https://green-gate.eu/cs (and thereby the GreenScan app) has been funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ project, although the grant does not cover the entire cost of the project. If the “message” of the project resonates with you and you would like to support its development with an idea, help or financial donation, do not hesitate to contact us :-)
