Good app with room for improvement!. This is an excellent tool if you’re just starting out down the clean ingredients path. However to get the most out of this app, you need to actually read and learn. For example, most agencies agree that talc is fine in pressed cosmetics, but talc, no matter what form, automatically gets an 8 (ie. bad) rating. Therefore, you need to read and decide for yourself if you feel comfortable using that product or not. That’s why I call this app as a “tool.” One definite area for improvement is the products included. I wish there was a little less pushing of clean, indie brands and more assessment of the bad brands. I can find clean brands myself, but I need to know which to steer clear of. Entries on cosmetics are extremely limited even though it’s a booming market. It would also be nice if there was a way to view items by brand so that you could look at a company’s entire product line since the keyword search can be a bit off. Overall, I will continue to use the app but I look forward to future improvements!

The perfect app for buying clean products!. This app is literal perfection. I have recently switched to all clean products in my household and before I found this app, I would be in the store googling the best clean products and it would take forever to figure out if it were truly “clean” or not. This app is so quick and easy and allows you to scan the barcode or type in the name of the product (not every product is in the database, but I’m sure will be added with time) and you can see the results as soon as you search. You will be surprised of the amount of items labeled “clean” in a store that will have a score of 3 or 4 when the best is 0. Yikes! Amazing app and so happy I found this to make sure I can continue buying clean products.

I LOVE this app💗. I love being able to quick reference products before I buy with the 0-10 rating and I’m seriously IMPRESSED by the detail that has gone into breaking down the ingredients and you are able to view actual or potential effects these ingredients have when used on our bodies. The references to studies are provided and you can quickly click and read the studies if you’d like to go in depth and to the source of the information. As a skeptical nerd, I LOVE this!! One thing I would like to see is more small brands being available for reference. I understand that takes loads of time with a diminished return as less people use them however, during COVID our small businesses need all the help they can get to stay afloat! I would encourage small businesses to contact Think Dirty to have their products evaluated and links to purchase! You are also able to scan and submit products you’d like to see reviewed. Only about 30% of the products I use aren’t available(as I prefer to shop local) but Think Dirty has added many of them over the past years. You are doing FANTASTIC and very important work! Thank you! 💗☺️

Ehhhh...... Yes, it does tell you what is good for your skin accurately...just if it has that product in its library. I’ve scanned all of my products and just a small percent of them were able to be scanned and rated by the library of items in the app. The only thing this app is good for is telling you how bad your current products are, and then if you’d have enough money to buy them, you could buy much more expensive products that are much “cleaner” for your skin. I don’t know how I feel about this app, but I’m not going to waste my money when I already have all of the products I need. Originally I thought this app was going to tell me how good ALL of my products were and then give me deals based on my collection. I think this app is only useful if you want to buy better and cleaner products for your skin than what you already have, but I know I won’t be getting this app again.

Looking forward to an updated version.. I love the concept behind “Think Dirty.” I’ve already scanned several of the items not only on my side of the medicine cabinet but my boyfriend’s as well. I think it’s a great starting point for looking into what is actually in the products we consume. I couldn’t believe that some of the things I thought wouldn’t be so harmful actually are! The format of the app is very easy to understand, but a lot of information is missing if you click on the different ingredients with “info coming soon!” placeholders. A couple of things I don’t like about the app so far: 1. Sometimes it’s very slow at loading when searching for products. 2. Scanning small barcodes such as those on a nail polish bottle is difficult if not impossible. When you punch in the barcode numbers instead, the correct product does not always appear. 3. Several products in my home are not in the database yet. I know you can add unlisted products, but this process is tedious. 4. Duplicate products are entered in the database, which I think may be artificially inflating the number and variety of products available for evaluation in the app. Overall, I think this app has potential, though. Looking forward to improved versions of the app.

The app is biased and not giving full info. A friend referred this app to me as an expecting mother. I got the app and started scanning and was appalled at what the app thought was dangerous. I did my research on some ingredients, carcinogens, health problems and whatnot. The app is very biased towards organic product. If it’s not organic, they will label is 8-10 and call it very dangerous. One of my products is labeled a Group 2B by the national Cancer society- there is a possibility of it having harmful effects towards humans but the studies were inconclusive since it was tested on animals and not humans. But the app said it was a 9- very dangerous. It’s good to know what is in your products, but the app doesn’t tell you how much exposure to a product you’d have to endure before seeing effects of the bad ingredients. For example, *possible* carcinogens are found in Johnson and Johnson baby body soap. But to see effects of those possible carcinogens, a baby would have to be exposed to thousands and thousands of gallons. And even then, it is only a slight possibility (less than .0001%) that the child would get cancer. The information the app provides is misleading and it’s in favor of organic products. I think the app producers get paid to rate those products as “heathy products.”

It WAS a great app…. until it put half of its features behind a PAYWALL. I used to love this app and I used it a lot, never went to the beauty counter without out. Until they ruined it. I understand apps have to make money and nothing in life is free. However. It went from, a easy to use app with lots of good information and some of the more advanced features needing a subscription…to locking up all the item ingredients and even my profile behind a PAYWALL. After I had been a registered user for YEARS. Not cool guys, not cool. I can’t continue to bother with this app since it is now useless unless you pay for an annual subscription. The developers could have done something else for basic users like advertising to keep their profit margins but no, they chose instead to change an app that was free with some extra paid features to, a yearly subscription app thatis essentially unusable without a subscription. I will not be recommending this app to anyone in the future because everyone always has more yearly app subscriptions than we should have anyway and you can find similar apps online for free.

My Starting Point. Think Dirty is my starting point before deciding on any new product, I also cleaned up the products I already had in my cabinets. I love the feature that allows us to submit a product for research if they don’t have it in their already elaborate inventory. I feel empowered when making decisions on what I will use on my body as it will beAbsorbed by my skin. There were some products that I had already had that affects the liver so I got rid of those and replace them with cleaner products. I mostly purchase products that are rated zero on the app, but I will purchase products up to a 3-4 depending on the additional information that they provide when reading why they are rated that way. It has truly changed my life and my moms who has asthma as with cleaner products it improves your overall quality of life and you are breathing in less toxins.

Very Useful App. This app allows you to check what chemicals are in your products and determines wether or not they are harmful. I didn’t realize how “dirty” (products that contain harmful chemicals that can be possible carcinogens) the items I owned were until I checked this app. It’s a great tool to use to be more conscious about what products to buy. You can search specific products using keywords or brand names to check their “dirty” score. While there are a variety of products, not everything is in the system. You can upload product information if it is missing which will be reviewed and later added to the system. I knocked one star down because the app seems a little difficult to navigate, especially when looking for a specific product. Sometimes typing keywords is not enough to locate the item which can be a little frustrating. Depending on the product, there can multiple submissions with different scores that could be confusing. Other than that this is a great tool to have; I use it for all my products and am working towards cleaner products. I would definitely recommend this app for the conscious shopper.

Better search options. I like that you can search for a product by name, but I wish there was a way to sort products by quality and price (which I noticed the website doesn’t include and is an important aspect for most, how much is this 1 rated shampoo vs the 3 rated shampoo? - for those unfamiliar a lower rating means a better product) I’ve also noticed a lot of comments on the really low rated products were quite negative or indicated they would not purchase more and you’d have to scroll to find some positive reviews, but the app still shows that product with an 80% would use again with 4+ stars?? When most the upfront comments are negative? I’m not sure about the reviews section of this app. I definitely will be using this app to further look into potential products, but it’s not as useful with finding new ones as I hoped it would be. ......after perusing the app for another 30 min or so and cross checking it with “the best 10 hair care products for dry hair” so far were 6/6 being listed as 8 ratings aka very dirty. Now I expected some of the big name brands to not be the best for you, but literally all of them are listed as very dirty because they have a fragrance in them? I get that fragrance is a chemical but if all the other ingredients are green and they have one thing that’s an 8 I don’t think giving it an 8 rating is fair....

Useful app for a naturally cleaner lifestyle. This app is useful to find naturally driven products as opposed to a more chemical based product available in many stores. The only issue is, the app will rate a product low, then in a larger size or a different scent it is rated high. For example I was looking for a cleaner, truly greener laundry detergent, it included “all” brand, “free and clear”. The list rated it at a 3, when I scroll down, a bigger size of the exact same product, same ingredient, is rated an 8?! I think the app needs better regulation of products for higher integrity to all who use. This will ensure the products are up to date. I also learned a big name household company bought out the app, and now many of their products are listed lower, when it had a high rating before. Definitely look more into the products you wish to try. However the app is great for a quick comparison when you are choosing a better, honest, and of course natural selection for your family 😊

At the least it makes you think. I downloaded this app several years ago. I went on a scanning frenzy. It was both alarming & terrifying to read all the suspect ingredients that were in items I had assumed were for the most part safe, particularly skin care. One expects chemicals in cleaning products, but not your lotion or toothpaste or even laundry detergent. It also made me think about where all these chemicals end up, that is in our water supply & soil, basically they are assimilated into our environment one way or another. That is the real benefit of this app, it makes you stop & think. I have found that some of the rating is misleading & not fully accurate like they are trying to scare people. I do not like the persistent level that they push products on users. It seems to have increased significantly since I first downloaded the app. Also I had a ton of products scanned & submitted that were not in the system & they are all gone now. That is extremely frustrating to me. It takes time to input products. I check back occasionally to see if they have been rated & to find that they are all just gone was pretty crappy.

Cleaning out all my closets!. This app has seriously helped me to start clearing out my crap. I’ve been environmentally cautious for some time as a vegan and always wanted to clear my toxic products but never got around to doing it. This has really kickstarted a new journey and has already introduced me to amazing new, green and no toxic products! I’ve already started with new makeup hauls (via this app), skincare (again, products I found on this app), and have tossed products out. I love the methodology provided and the information-for a research nerd this is the best. It’s an easy to read app and I enjoy the barcode scan feature. It’s a fun way to ditch the toxins out and find new, exciting products that are aligned with the efforts of other business trying to provide clean, healthy products for all. It’s also a platform to educate you on common ingredients with negative side effects. Love it!

Great app but needs some improvements. The app is wonderful and eye-opening. It’s frustrating that so many cosmetics contain garbage that could really be impacting our health. I highly recommend! Some improvements could be made to the search functionality. When searching for a product by a particular brand, it often gets buried in results containing other brands/products higher in the search results list. Several times I thought the product I searched for wasn’t found, but it was actually much further down in the results beneath other brands I didn’t search for. I also wish you could sort by brand or search all one brand’s products. Hopefully updates will be made in the future, but even so, it’s still worth using! Thank you for this app, it will definitely change which products I choose to use.

Do you want your health behind a paywall?. TLDR; you won’t be able to do much at all without a subscription. You’re better off Googling ingredients. I was a premium user for a bit when I was more actively using the app, but then didn’t need it so I cancelled. I reopened the app today to look up some ingredients I saw in a face wash, and discovered that even looking up ingredients is now paywalled. I tried looking up the product itself in the product search, and now every product after the first 6 results is also paywalled. You can’t even see the basic product rating. This wouldn’t be as much of an issue if the search optimization for products on the app was good, but it isn’t. I typically have to scroll past 10-20 products before I find the one I typed into the search bar. I understand that you have to make a profit somehow, but making an app nearly unusable unless you pay up while still marketing it as “free” is deceptive and sad. I was so happy when I found this app to help me live a healthier and cleaner life, as it was insanely confusing and stressful googling every ingredient I saw in a product that I was unsure of. Now, that unfortunately seems to be the better method over using Think Dirty.

Super handy. I love being able to look up products’ “dirtiness” so that I can stock my shelves with those that will be the best in terms of ingredients’ safety. I really appreciate the added articles that back up the claims to where the ingredients are on the scale. As a licensed esthetician I love knowing the why and how of things. I also love that if a product is not yet in the system, I can send in info about it for them to review and add later. A couple suggestions: - Options for filtering search results (brand, score range, product type, skin type, etc). I would love to be able to go window shopping for certain types of products but the search engine doesn’t seem to always be the best place to start. It seems like when I try searching for something it gives all the 0 scored products at the top. So something like a “popular” filter would show those products (high and low scored) for a good idea of where to start in a search for a go-to product. Maybe also allowing users (or designated ambassadors/moderators) to help in categorizing would be a cool feature. - More customization options for the lists. Maybe instead of folders, we can add our own hashtags for a more optimized search through our own set-aside products. That’s all I can think of for now. But dang I already love this app (I’ve been wanting something like this since getting my license in 2015!) and am so excited to see what comes next for it. ❤️❤️

Totally changed my life and my hair! Amazing App!!!. Before I had this app, I had NO idea that the “natural” products I was using for my post-surgery hair loss were actually 1) NOT natural at all and 2) making my hair loss MUCH WORSE!! I love that you can just scan the barcode of a product (or look it up by name) to find out if it’s healthy or not. My favorite feature is the ingredient analysis, though! It shows every ingredient in every product in their database (they’re still building up their database - they have 1.6 million products and counting!-but you can submit new products if they don’t already have the one(s) you want to check out ;) )and shows you exactly which ingredients are healthy, which are questionable, and which are dangerous (using their 0-10 rating system) AND, in an effort to educate people, it tells you the other names of each ingredient (ex. Water/aqua), why it’s in the product, why it’s good/questionable/dangerous, and their recommendations! I’m not getting paid for this review, I really just LOVE this app and think it’s AMAZING and LIFE-CHANGING! Bottom line: This app is INCREDIBLE and really focused on educating the public about what they’re using on their bodies- not on getting any kind of payout. From now on, I’m not going to use any beauty products if I haven’t checked them on Think Dirty, first!

Grain of salt. Like a lot of negative reviews on here, take the information with a grain of salt. The idea for this app is VERY interesting, but it’s been executed poorly. - not all of the ingredients they deem “bad” on some products are accurate. I’ve noticed on a few skin care products I use have been labeled as containing fragrance. The ingredient list on the bottle says otherwise and is staunchly fragrance free on the bottle. - secondly, I think methylparabens shouldn’t be labeled as a “dirty” ingredient. This is controversial and is used in a lot of formulas to keep the product stable. There are also other ingredients several other people have pointed out as safe but are labeled dirty in this app. - they 100% sell your information to other companies to make a buck. This is the biggest no-no to me that made me delete the app. An app that truly wants to help people wouldn’t be using a platform to do this. I understand they need to make money somehow, but this isn’t the way. By rating products the app is paid to rate as “safe” (i.e Native) and selling information to other platforms that you viewed this product, you ruin your credibility.

Natural flavor is not natural!????. I highly recommend this app, especially to those who have young children. I found this app from a review of a website advertising that their products were all natural and baby friendly. I thought this app might be something I would keep going back to check products for my kids, so I gave it a try. Not only did I learn that many products that were advertised natural and kids friendly contained harmful ingredients under name of NATURAL FLAVOR, but also I learned what ingredients to avoid in the future. On top of that, once you check the product you want to buy, you can click a button on the top and look for online markets that carry the product. All in all, I’m in absolute love with this app!!

Extremely Helpful. I went through my cosmetics and hair products and ended up tossing a large bag full of products that had a bad rating due to the ingredients by checking them out on this app. I began to buy items with a 0 or 1 rating for the sake of my skin and hair. By using this app to look up a product, I no longer have to research whether or not a product ingredient is good or bad for me which saves me a lot of time. There was one brand of hair products that I bought including shampoo, conditioner, dry shampoo, dry conditioner, blowout spray, and shine cream. Eventually, I began losing my hair, lots and lots of hair. I told my hair dresser that I thought I was allergic to that brand. She didn’t think so and sold me more of the same. What a dumby, I actually bought more. When I got this app, I looked up that product and found that it was given an 8 rating. I threw it all out. I’m hoping my hair grows back in but to make sure of it, I will look up any shampoo for a 0-1 rating from now on. I am very grateful this app exists and for all the people who work hard providing this information.

Life changer. To say this app changed my life would be an understatement. As soon as I downloaded it I began looking up all the products I’ve been using and found basically everything I was using (makeup, lotions, body wash, etc to be either carcinogenic or containing harmful articulations fragrance. I am not smarter about the things that I buy, and I actually read the ingredients list instead of being tricked by a persuading label. I’m so happy I downloaded it. The only problem I see now is some things are labeled ‘0’ but once you click on them they have stuff in yellow...this to be is not considered a ‘0’ and I’m starting to think these certain brands are paying this app to advertise them as ‘0’ which I hope isn’t the case because that would destroy everything they say that they stand for.

Not necessarily accurate, App Developers Do Not Stay Up-to-Date with products.. Love the concept of the app. Missing a lot of inclusive products, barcode registrar process for listing new products = tedious.. you don’t have to type everything out, or else it will disregard your submission. Mainstream product lines from big brands and their ingredients are not kept up to date, resulting in other apps, with similar concepts to be more accurate in what ingredients you’re buying in stores. I guess this is to steer you toward ordering products from their app, and have to wait for pesky shipping times. I am more of an “I ran out of this the other day, and need more/a replacement - let me run to the store!” kinda gal. Hope to see this change, and hopefully get popular again in the future - as I see most of the reviews are from several years ago, few and far are recent.

This is real talk!. This app is terrific!! I’d like to thank my mom for introducing me to think dirty. It’s exactly what I needed and still use when finding healthy items with little to no add ins. I’m actually going to use this app to go shopping tomorrow, just scanning things as I go 😂 it might take me a while, but I’m committed ✊🏾. The title through me off when I was first introduced to it. Somethings are really startling. Some products I’ve been using for years come up unhealthy, I couldn’t believe it, But I’m also thankful because I need a change so why not use this app as a building block. I do wish they’d have a list of names of organic stores or somewhere similar where you can find these items at. I’d like to support smaller businesses in this field .

Extremely useful. As someone who strives to purchase the cleanest, cruelty-free products for the home and my body, this app showed me that I wasn't getting the whole truth from various brands I thought were the best. So happy I was told about ThinkDirty. Such a beneficial tool for anyone that cares about what you're really getting when you go shopping. I haven't purchased a single item in the last month without researching it and being sure that it is truly safe to use. Don't be fooled! Use ThinkDirty to maximize your lifestyle and brand awareness. You'd be surprised what's actually in the products you've been loving and supporting. Only issue: when submitting new products for review, I never received any confirmation for doing so, nor was I ever notified that the item was added to the app. Been nearly a month now since adding an item and yet to hear anything.

No data on common brands. I got this app for the purposes of learning more about the products I apply every day and potentially turning over my makeup bag to include less harmful products. Immediately after downloading I started searching products in my makeup bag to learn more about the ingredients. There was no data on my bronzer, foundation or primer by Fenty Beauty, my Too Faced lip gloss, my mascara, or Glossier brow gel. Admittedly, I don’t race to get the newest release of lip kits or products but I also know that I’m not working with out-of-date or obscure makeup. I’m surprised that there would be no information on my products from the three major brands I listed above. I did get prompted to upload info and submit my products to the app’s database but I could not get a clear picture of my product even after 5 retakes. I don’t have this issue when using my iPhone camera normally so I can only assume it was an issue of the app. I don’t want to completely disregard what this app has to offer. The ability to look further into a certain ingredient with one click and get and overview of health effects and usage with a list of sources is so convenient and the concept I came for. I’m just disappointed that for have an average makeup bag with products from big names that I couldn’t find what I was looking for. For now I’ll just do my own research via Google.

Allergies. I love this app! I struggle with severe allergies to chemicals, especially the dirty ones that are in cosmetics, lotions, shampoos and etc. it takes me hours in a store, to find products that I’m not allergic to. I have to vigilantly read every ingredient label for everything. Where has this app been all my life???!!!! I still have to read ingredient labels in every single product I purchase, even if the product is on my safe list and I’ve used it before. Companies can and do change ingredients all the time, with out informing consumers. I have spent countless hours searching for products on line. It has been such a daunting task. It’s been so difficult to find ‘clean products’ unless you know where to look. Trust me Ive looked everywhere! If you don’t know of a clean company, it’s had been extremely difficult to find them on line no matter what search terms I’ve tried. This app is amazing, I can sort through products quickly, by scanning the barcode. If a product has a rating of more than 3, I don’t even bother reading the label. I move on to the next product. With this app it gives suggestions, and now I know where to look to find safe ingredients!! Best app ever!! Thank you for making my life easier!!

A blessing and a curse. A friend posted online about this app several months ago and immediately I was obsessed. I liked how products were broken down and each ingredient rated and explained; it seemed very thorough. Every time I shopped online or went to a store for a new product, I opened the app and searched and scanned, checking to see if what I wanted was “approved.” Here’s the catch: I fully believe that they totally ignore user-uploaded products. Really basic and popular things I use, from major brands, have not been added for months now. Brands that are up-and-coming in the natural/non-toxic beauty world are not even listed. The makers of this app are clearly focusing on promoting products from sponsor companies and other great products get left in the dust. It is useful but only to a certain extent. A good starting point for someone looking to clean up their beauty routine but shouldn’t be considered a thorough resource. Also, it glitches and refuses to load about a third of the time for no apparent reason.

Good, needs cleaning + adding more. Information about a product’s ingredients and user reviews are very helpful. The available lists to save products makes it easy to reference later. The search bar can sometimes put unrelated products higher up on the results than what you’re looking for, but most of the time it pulls up what I’m looking for. There are duplicates of some products, which are either identical or are for different formulations; these should be consolidated, or noted as to which one is an old formula because the ratings may be distinct but only one is on the market. I really wish I could tap a brand name on a product page and be taken to a new page with all rated products by that brand, as it would it easier than trying to search for individual products in the search bar. Lastly, there are brands with only some products rated, so an expansion of the database would be appreciated.

Good but could be a bit better. I love this application and I just subscribed. I wish that you could upload a product without having to scan the barcode because not every product has a barcode. I wish there was just a + where you could add the product manually but still be able to scan the ingredients and description and such. Having to scan the barcode also requires that you have the product physically in your hand which may not come in handy for making purchasing decisions. I wish that you could simply scan the ingredients off the packaging to see what’s harmful and what’s not instead of having to search them one by one with the subscription, that was this app a five out of five for me. It’s also unclear what “contamination concerns with X chemical” means so maybe some sort of Key would be good as well.

Don’t remember how I got here.. Caught on the spot, usually bypass reviewing. But since Think Dirty asked, I believe it knows that I am a regular user.. Oh, yes! I do not bypass doing my homework on a purchase. Think Dirty is my; at the store, to just remember, I would love to not pinch my favorite clean toothpaste out of the tube anymore, that I exclusively subscribe to but yet never have enough of… Anyway, teeth and all other chemical avoidance, has me prowling down chemical lined store aisles, and Think Dirty is on the job of finding my best clean option… It’s responsible for many a conversations with strangers down the makeup aisle. I’m always excited to encourage others to use it though. I’m realizing, some people just don’t think about it.. It’s so amazing to have a easy tool in my pocket to just check quick. My skin is so sensitive to most things, so saves me a lot of hassle. Thanks Think Dirty!

Great concept, but user experience could be improved.. Lots of the negative reviews are saying the ratings aren’t fair, that things are given bad ratings even when questionable ingredients are in small amounts or in forms that aren’t necessarily dangerous…. But that’s what I APPRECIATE about it. It gives me all the info, and red flags things so that I can make an informed choice about what I use and how frequently. I’m glad they’re so thorough. My gripe is that it’s not especially easy to navigate. If I could filter by verified brands and ratings that would be great. Also an easy way to click to view the entire collection of a brand would be awesome. The search feature also leaves much to be desired, if you look for “tinted moisturizer”, you’ll get a few results at the top, followed by unrelated products. I paid for the year long subscription in hopes that the user interface improves and their database continues to grow.

Must have app. This is a must have app in my opinion. It’s amazing to be able to go through the store in skin products to see which are the least toxic before purchasing them. Marketing gimmick’s make you think “natural” Products are way safer than they are. Think dirty really shines a light on the truth about what’s in our products. I do however think it needs a little work, which is why it got four stars instead of five. Sometimes it will rate things very low such as a zero or a one because the ingredients are not fully in the system yet. So it looks like it’s made of water and aloe vera… When really there’s 10 ingredients missing. I wish that the product was not listed if the full list of ingredients have not been added to the products profile and been properly evaluated and rated. Despite this fact I still think it’s an insanely useful app and everyone should have it. Just use caution when you are looking at a product to purchase because you need to make sure all the ingredients are listed.

This app is super helpful..... BUT. I really do like this app, it’s a simple way to look at the ingredients and quick. What I don’t like is that if you have a bottle of shampoo with all 0-3 rating ingredients and one single ingredient is bad (8) that shouldn’t make the overall rating an 8. If the last ingredient (since this is the least amount) in the bottle is that bad rating then it should be weighted so that the overall rating isn’t just ruined because of an ingredient that’s barely in the product. There should be a better system here. Maybe even just a mean of all the numbers to have the rating. I don’t like the way the app does it at all. I’m not gonna be worried about 1 ingredient especially if it’s last in the list. Other than this I like how every ingredient is given a different number and color, it makes it easy to check out what’s in my product instead of trying to remember every bad ingredient in the store while reading the bottle. Finding the product is a little crazy if it’s not a popular one, and sometimes it’s not even on the app.

Most extensive app in clarifying cosmetic ingredients lists. They don’t just slap a grade on said item, they clarify the entire ingredient list. They give grades to both the product itself as well as each ingredient within the product. The best grade a product can have is a “0”, meaning it has extremely low risk ingredients- if any (I believe it is considered in the “green category” with a grade between 0-3; “yellow category” is 4-7; and “red category” is graded 8+). When you click on an item, it shows the list of ingredients, sorted by most toxic to least. You can click on any one of them to see the nitty gritty details, including scientific name (or other names it may be disguised as), usage and health impacts. There are other perks that are probably to be expected, like saving products to your “bathroom shelf” list or “dirty products” (I have yet to use all of those features yet). These guys have all my support but I deducted one star for difficulty finding many items I’ve tried searching for, as in they are not yet in their database. I wish there was a way to suggest products or brands for them to add, otherwise a really great app for cleaner living :)

THE BEST APP EVER-. I was so unaware of what I was bringing into my home. My cleaning products (all purpose cleaner & dish soaps, laundry soaps, etc.), body products (deodorant, shampoos, conditioners, facials, makeup, etc.) THEY WERE ALL TOXIC- and I had no idea. Some of these chemicals effect human hormones, skin sensitivity, and some chemicals lead to cancer & I didn’t even know they were in my home. I was uneducated which is the exact reason I am writing this review- once you know, you know & I guarantee once you know you will want better for your husband, your kids, yourself, and even the dog. TAKE ACTION! Download this app and use it to your best ability the app has a ranking scale from 0-10. 0 being the healthiest 10 being the MOST toxic. This is judged based upon the chemicals and products in your cleaners from home cleaners to body products too. All of my home products & body products were sitting at like an 8 or 9- which is really scary- Now you know, and YOU should download this app && change your life.

Needs to be updated. Very glitchy.. Loved this app at first. It seems they spend more time pushing the products they are sponsored by instead of cleaning up listed products and repairing the glitches. That’s fine if they are reliable products that work. Most seem like they do. I have found many products with conflicting ratings! Also products given a score with no ingredient information. They should not be listed if no reason for the score given. So many products I’ve searched for are not in the list. I submitted popular products many months ago to be reviewed and still are not shown. But I do understand the data base is constantly being updated. The comment review feature is a bust for me now. I am unable to read comments on the products. Not to mention it’s very glitchy and stops working every time I open it! I gave it 3 stars because this app has a great foundation to work with and will be great once these major kinks are worked out.

Wonderful. This app is beyond amazing. The explanations for every ingredient are so detailed and informative. They have most of the products you are looking for, or might have already. I really enjoy the fact that you can scan a barcode directly from a product or search that product by name. You also have the option to submit a new product if it’s not listed. Every product also comes with a review from other people on the app. Every product is rated based on the safety of its ingredients (0 being perfect, and 10 being terrible). Overall one of the best apps I’ve ever downloaded. In order to access some of the features, you do have to pay. But you can use the app without paying a dime and enjoy 100% of the basic info that you need to make decisions about your products. Paying extra is just a perk to add a better experience if you’re really into the app or clean products in general. 5 stars!

Contact Dermatitis Pt /Dermatology Employee Approved!. I was recently patch tested at the clinic where I work, and it turns out I have some pretty severe allergies to certain chemicals that are in SO many of my products. I was given the AmericanContactDermatitisSociety app to help with knowing what products were safe for my particular allergies. However, I found the app was not very user friendly, most of the approved products for makeup options were no longer even being made, it didn’t tell you what you couldn’t use just some of what you can. This app has a MUCH larger and up to date database. I have found it to be so much more helpful than any other app I’ve attempted to use. My skin has very harsh reactions to certain chemicals and it has been a nightmare trying to find accurate information on ingredients for future use (I Had to get rid of almost all of my skincare and makeup, so there is a long list needing to be replaced.) I am so thankful a friend showed me this app! It’s been extremely helpful during this stressful process.

Can’t trust this app anymore. I’ve been using this app for years. Now they are making you pay for things that have been completely free in the past and quite frankly it’s not worth it. Even before they started charging money for it the integrity of this app took a steep nose dive and I don’t trust their rating system anymore. They would mark products as having a really good ratings but have missing ingredients or incorrect ingredients listed (checked against the product websites), would constantly have product ratings not manually verified (same product I kept checking on and it was like that for years) and obviously giving certain brands higher ratings when it was clear that they didn’t deserve it (certain ingredients for one product would give it a bad rating but in another was completely ignored). The greenwashing is ridiculous. I can no longer recommend. Which is a shame because it used to be a really good resource for finding better products. I just don’t trust it anymore.

Not sure… what to think. Honestly, I don’t know what to think about this app or how many stars to give.. it’s great has a lot to say about the products…..BUT about 90 % of the products that I currently use this app doesn’t even have in its database. For an app that says it has about 4K products in its database, why can it not find the products I use? They are all commonly used brands like dove/ doves mens, clean and clear, Olay, pond’s, Vaseline, etc out the products I only got rating for secret deodorant, summer’s eve, gold bond, listerine and Carmex. If these common brands aren’t in their database then what products are? Not to mention the products are rated rather oddly.. many factors are considered they say but I’ve noticed that many are based on one problem, such as fragrance.. I get that many fragrances may also have chemicals for stabilizing the products and can have many aerosols but fragrant products should not be rated an eight or 9 based on that alone unless they specifically state which fragrance or fragrances are the cause and why.

LOVE IT. This is the only app I ever been willing to actually take the time to review! This app has been so extremely helpful. I went fragrance free 7 months ago and I don’t think I would have been able to make the transition without this app. I will say sometimes it slow and has some issues. I do think that it needs some improvements. I also wish I could search the price of products on here because I have to do so much back and forth between the app and my computer to see which products are reasonably priced. Also the app is missing several products I looked up. But I love the breakdown of the products and how it helps me finds things that are actually safe to use. I have this app front and center on my phone so if I’m ever about to buy something I use it right away! This app has been a lifesaver so many time because so many products are greenwashed!

Good, But Not A Bible. While this app is a great starting point for finding harmful chemicals in hair products and whatnot, everyone must understand that it’s exactly that: a starting point. This app is not tailored to anyone’s skin type, hair type, or allergies. Marking fragrance at an 8 due to allergens, therefore making out the product to be very harmful, is simply not applicable to mine or many other’s standards. I’ve been using the Renpure brand for many years and have never found any other brand of hair care to suit my hair type better, but this app marks all the products as harmful due to containing diazolidinyl urea, a cosmetic preservative, simply because it can release formaldehyde. Yes this is a bad chemical, but after doing my own research, I found that DZU doesn’t release formaldehyde in a large enough amount to cause any sort of health problems. So while i believe this app is a GREAT start, make sure to take anything with a grain of salt and ALWAYS do your own research!

Very useful!. For as many items as the have in their database I have still found a lot of products that are not included, and some barcodes are to the incorrect item. However considering the service is free, I’ll take it! Recently on the EWG search I couldn’t find products I know are listed because I can find them other ways, using a simple search! My wish list for this app would be to be able to search for something like “dish soap” and be able to filter the results by score so that I could easily see all the products with a 0-3 score for example to target my future purchases rather than have to search for the individual products my store carries. Second wish on my list would be to have a separate rating for products that would otherwise be “clean” if it weren’t for “fragrance” being listed as an ingredient. Thanks for this service! The app is very user-friendly.

Great app and hope it will get stronger. It is a great starting point for looking for clean products at home. I’ve found some of my products aren’t listed and I like that I can submit them to be added. I do research before trying new safer products as I have been tossing the dirty ones out, but I do want to be sure the new ones work and don’t have hidden dirty ingredients. The two things I would like to see are: 1) links via the company name between items of the same brand so that if I find one item from say “Bright Green,” I can find all other products by the same company. It would give consumers an idea of how good a company is overall. Also, I’d like to be able to sort lists by name or clean number and have the ability to filter the list down. Some of the search results are huge and I’d love to make the searches smaller. Thanks for listening. I’ll keep submitting the items I have here at home. Hope you can keep up with me. :) Ha!

Very misleading now pushing notices more than daily. I downloaded this app a few years ago after reading about it on a favorite bloggers site. She was very impressed. I checked a few things I use and a few things the blogger was throwing out. I have a BS, MS, and doctorate degree in the sciences. My masters is in Environmental Sciences. I have always worked in the biological sciences. I found the app information and scoring quite alarmist. Here’s an example. Selsun Blue is listed as toxic. The reason because it has Selenium. Selenium can be toxic. But it is also an essential mineral for animals. So just stating it is toxic is silly. A short exposure to selenium in your shampoo should not be harmful. In fact tinea versicolor a fungal infection of the skin can be treated by applying Selsun Blue to your skin and waiting 20 minutes before showering. So the suggestion that simple use of Selsun Blue as a dandruff shampoo is dangerous because it includes selenium is at least misleading. I haven’t used the app in a few years. What lead me to comment today is the fact that this app has started sending me notices. It is pushing products.

Love this App! Everyone NEEDS this!. Love this app, it really has brought me so much awareness to all the chemicals & horrible ingredients in all my products! I used to think if i need to see the ingredients, just check the back, but companies can be so shady & misleading, making you think their products are all natural, eco-friendly, organic, etc. & then you scan the barcode & the product is an 8-10! I’ve been in the process of transitioning all my products over to healthier/eco-friendly products with the help of this app, but it can be very challenging because many of the healthier products either are so expensive or don’t work so needless to say i have been through many product fails & lots of money, but still trying! My only 2 constructive criticisms & the reason why i only gave 4 stars is because sooo many products that I scan aren’t in the system, which I understand because there are so many products out there. I also really wish there was a way to sort/filter the products by cost or an average cost (because i realize different retailers sell for different prices). It would save so much time trying to search for healthier options to potentially buy. Overall Love!

Best App for clean products, but has room to grow. better than EWG. Much less corrupt because companies don’t have to purchase their label or pay a fee to be able to receive a good score unlike EWG. Unfortunately they don’t have as wide of a range of products in their database as i would ideally like. But their explanations are thought out and they are scientifically based but easy to understand. overall i think this app is transparent and has the potential to be the leader of the pack in the world of clean beauty products being held accountable for the ingredients they use. I also wish that there were not locked sections of the site. that seems pretty wack to assume that you need to be able to have enough extra money to pay their unlock fees if you deserve safe product knowledge that can seriously make a difference in your life and the lives of your family. -maia spinner portland oregon

So helpful!. I have an autoimmune illness and I am using this app to change over to products with much less chemicals or no chemicals. If you have children or anyone, I would definitely use this app for every purchase. This is also a way to “vote” with your dollars and support those companies that are doing right. This is an update to my first review: after using this app as a guide to change my purchases to products that have less (or none!) harmful chemicals, 60 days later, I am seeing and feeling a big difference in my skin and lungs. Less irritation, and fatigue. I have started to check every product I buy in this app. Target is a great store for offering many of the cleanest products recommended on this app. I have found 80% of the items recommended by “Think Dirty” there. There is a “clean” button on filters for most every product, which helps isolate which ones might be best. It does take some cross referencing to the app, to assure the cleanest products! Thank you for having the app!! 💜💜💜

Yikes!. I’ve had this app for 3 years.. I recently got a new phone but I still have it on my old phone and I use it from there… I noticed that they locked products to where you can only view with the membership that they didn’t have locked before… I’m giving this app one star because it’s gotten significantly worse over the past 2 years and there has always been limited information on products because you have to have the membership to view it… in a world where everything is getting progressively expensive you think humans would work together to at least make it a little cheaper to stay healthy… especially in this “great america” where healthcare is ridiculous… it’s nice to look at your favourite soap to see if it has cancer causing carcinogens and be able to possibly avoid breast, cervical, skin cancer etc… I’m sure they will keep locking products and raising the price for the membership because we live in a very selfish self centered world… so I will be deleting the app… I downloaded it to make this comment… thanks for reading my review! (Proverbs 28:27 check it out 🙂)

Gotta love living in the 21st Century. This app saved me so many times from buying the wrong toiletry product(s) just because another source told me the ingredients were safe. My favorite part about this app is that not only are the ingredients listed just for you, but they’re sorted by level of toxicity along with examples you need to fully understand the products you put in your body and in your home. You can’t go wrong either, it’s completely free and easy for anyone to use. I would highly recommend downloading this app. Speaking from personal experience, you’d be in utter shock by how many toxins you will discover just by doing a little research. Not just a little makeup, shampoo, lotion, etc. research you will find in every product you own, but it goes even deeper than that. Let’s just say, I did my research on the FDA’s makeup ingredient laws and I quickly became disgusted and infuriated. Just be careful with who you put your trust in, even ‘Think Dirty’, so it’s always a good idea to triple check your information, especially the ones we’re supposed to blindly trust, apparently...^ I hope this helped :) I know it can be stressful, but once you start learning about your everyday items, the better you’ll be at choosing the right products for you and your loved ones. Good luck!

Awesome app!. I love that I can check the brands and products easily to find the best natural and harmless products for me and my family. I wish there were more brands included to suit all countries!

Great app. Good to look up products. Doesn’t have all Australian brands/products. I think the ratings could be more clear for each product such as why they received the rating

Such a great app!!. So easy to use, this app helped start us on our family’s low tox living journey a year ago. It was a very great help to know what products to toss from our home and what products and ingredients were good for us to replace the bad stuff by. What a great idea! Thank you think dirty :)

Love this app. I love this app, it’s been incredible for helping me find safe things to use on my baby. The only thing is I wish that there was more Australian products on here

Review. I absolutely love this app. It’s so good to really know which products are safe to use because the labels say they are and that’s obviously not the case. I love that I can use quality products on my body and know it 100% is real.

Great app. Lower the toxicity in Your life and those of people around you - look after your body Increase your awareness of the products you use

Very informative!. Thanks for creating such an easy to use app!! Love that I can make better informed choices with what products I choose to purchase and use. The less toxins I’m putting on my skin the better!! 😊

Had high hopes… completely useless to me. I scanned at least 20+ products/brands… very well known brands and not a single one of them was in the system 😳 after a couple I got sick of taking photos and putting them in myself… which still have to be reviewed.

Review. Extremely helpful when it comes to choosing what products are natural and healthy and what ones are not

Eye opener!. Love this app. Would be so good if you could search by ingredient for the times when the product isn’t in the system ! Or for those of us who live over seas sometimes. Would be 5/5 if so. Otherwise, massive eye opener for so many products I used daily!!

Incredibly useful. Finally an app that judges products based on quality evidence and allows users to add more products to be evaluated if one is missing!

So helpful and quick!. Thanks for making a very useful app, so easy to look products up when I’m standing at the shelf shopping.

Impressed. I’m quite impressed with how well this app works! Definitely a life saver when it comes to cutting out chemicals!

Great app. This app has changed my way of thinking when it comes to purchasing beauty products. Although not every product is listed in their database, they allow you to submit products for them to review which is great. Even though there are missing products this app is quite insightful and will definitely make you think twice when purchasing products and checking the ingredients

So helpful. Wish there were more products that have been checked in Australia, but overall, quite helpful on the main things to find more natural alternatives.

Think Dirty is my true north. I rely on this so heavily. If it hasn’t been rated by think dirty, I don’t buy it. Why take a chance to make my body or my daughters body toxic. I think everyone (women especially) should have this app!!

Changed my life!!. When you walk around your home scanning everything from makeup to cleaning products, you know you’re addicted. Highly recommend. Not only does it provide you with all the info about the toxicity of the product but it also gives you amazing alternative products that are super clean. The only thing for me is it doesn’t include international products. Living in Australia, so not everything we use here is on the app.

found it to be Very useful !. The scoring system especially gives you an idea if a product is good/bad.

Fantastic. I love this app. Helps me determine what the long term effects of using products on my skin will be. Very user friendly. Have a wide range of products in database. Has a great feature giving you the overall rating of the products you use everyday.

Great App. Super helpful app for checking ingredients and helping me make good skin care choices. Needs more Australian products however, many products are not on there. I realise it will take time to build the full database with so any products available so not at all a negative.

Most helpful app. This app takes away the stress one typically finds when making good choices for their every day items

Excellent app that’s much needed. Provides very clear i formation about how safe products are. I wish it showed the prices and what countries each product is available in but maybe that’s a next version. Extremely helpful. I won’t shop now without it. Would love an Australian version!

Beautiful but limited. This app is beautifully designed and a breeze to use. I've learned a lot from it already. The problem is there are very few international products on the list (outside of the US), and my submissions still aren't added even though I've been scanning a lot. There's really no excuse for this if they typically have the same offending ingredients that you need to look out for in order to rate the products. I would also love if you made a sister app that was all about foods and beverages!

Love it, but could be better. Think Dirty is the best idea for an app. I have been loving it so far! However I have one suggestion. It would be so much better if you could search for a specific ingredient and learn about it within the app rather than only being able to search for products. Would make it so much easier to research products that aren’t listed. I would spend so much more time in the app researching specific products so I know what to look out for when I’m shopping!

Great App. This app is fantastic! Super helpful and certainly an eye opener! Not every product atm brings up information, but I am sure that after time there will be more products listed in that app. Other that just a great idea and hopefully it’ll make more people aware of the chemicals we are using in our daily tasks.

Waste of time!. I’m in Australia so I fully anticipated that there would be a limited selection of Aussie products that you have reviewed. I didn’t expect however that it would take over 2 months for products to be added to the database after I have gone to the effort of scanning it, taking photos, editing the spelling mistakes in the ingredient lists because the software has read the label incorrectly. Then you have the audacity to send me annoying notifications for products that I can’t buy because they are in America. If you are going to tout yourselves as a global authority on natural products then have the foresight to tailor your advertising pitch to local markets. No one wants to wait a month for overseas shipping when they can go to the local health food store and get a better product anyway. I was recommended this app by a friend so I gave it the benefit of doubt that it would improve but to be honest I’ve just been disappointed from the get go.

Easy and informative. Love using this app to determine which products to use. Just can't wait for more products to be added.

Fantastic APP. I absolutely love using this APP. It is incredibly helpful yo find out how clean the products are that you buy. And how TOXIC the ones are that you have used in the past 🌈

Great start of an app however limited. Doesn't have a lot of products but a great start to getting informed about what product you put on your body and the potential toxins they have.

Conscious decisions. This app allows you to make conscious decisions when buying products, as you can see and learn what is in your beauty products then make a informed decision to purchase. Based on looking at ingredients not packaging. Very grateful for this.

Fantastically helpful. Love being able to check my skincare, Haircare and cosmetic products ... only wish there were more products in there (by terry, westman atelier etc)

Useful!. This app really helps a lot when shopping for new products! It tells you whether the product is good or not!

Very useful. Important to know which ingredients are in our daily use products. Still a few key ingredients missing more detailed information or any information and some studies aren't linking correctly which harms credibility, therefore the 4 stars. Also many products missing.

Good app. It helps with understanding the ingredients and it gives it a rating 0 being clean to 9 being dirty (i think 9 is the highest) it just needs to improvethe barcode function and would love for them to add more products in different countries as some brands dont come up All in all i love it and i use it all the time ! Thumbs up

Great App!!. Helps me when I don’t know if I should buy a certain product. There are some things you need to unlock but overall, amazing app.

Most useful app so far. I have been using this for more than an year. Found so many wonderful products during my pregnancy and for the baby. Still, go to this app every time I buy a new product to check the toxicity.

So helpful. It’s so difficult to navigate products, marketing jargon and whether products are legitimately ‘toxin free’. This app helps save time and provides comfort that you’re getting the right information

Helpful. gives accurate advice based off ingredients, would recommend

An App For Good. I love how much of this app you can access without a subscription. Understanding all the harmful ingredients can be confusing so just finding the product and reading the rating is so simple. Being in Australia makes finding the products a little harder but I’m sure over time their database will grow and it’s fine just researching one product at a time. Thanks so much for this app and for being people who actually care about others wellbeing!

Great app. This app saves me heaps of time when I’m considering buying a specific product or searching for something I need and I want to know how ‘clean’ it is. Thank you.

Brilliant. A fab find for those who want to know what rates as a good informative app re:cosmetics etc .... super range of products , easy as to use ... more Aussie brands are being added which is good for us 'down under ' folk 😁

Great app. Easy to find the products, and super helpful! I love browsing on here. Only wish there were a few more brands!

So helpful!. I am trying to slowly incorporate better products into the home and this app is so helpful.

Fantastic app. Incredibly useful. I consult this app before any skincare purchase. It's a fantastic tool to assist in seeing through the fog that is beauty product jargon. Some new products are not listed but make sure you take the time to add the details of your product (just snap a pic of the front and back) and you can check back to see when it's been analysed!

Helpful. I always use this app to check what is in my products . I cannot believe how many false advertisers there are out there. It’s hard enough living with an incurable disease and trying hard to keep chemical free as possible , without Companies lying with false claims. This gives me a guide

Very helpful. Not only it gives you the components breakdown, but also alternatives products. i highly recommend it. P.S. highly addicting!

Wouldn’t trust anyone else. So glad I can do a quick check for any new products I’m looking to buy for myself and my family. Love the breakdown, the ratings and that I can see why ingredients are giving their specific rating, including the referenced research papers.

Just what I was looking for. This has made finding low fox products so easy ! I love that I can read other buyers reviews before I buy a new product

Wow. Don’t let a company’s paid marketing campaign fool you into poisoning yourself...check out what’s inside your product before using it!

made me overhaul entire beauty cabinet. Incredibly useful to check whether the products you have are slowly killing you. I never realised just how much toxic material was in even high end or "natural" products that are championed by most spokespeople in the beauty community. I had 50 bottles in my cabinet which have been culled down to about five. I was in denial before but when you are armed with facts at your fingertips, you just can't look away. My only request is that they expand their database of products, however most products I have been able to find on the app.

Get an inside look into what’s in your products. Been using this for a few years now. Extremely helpful to know what products are safe to use and what are not. You’d be surprised to see some products you’ve used in the past.

Great app!!!. Finally found an application that searches out my chemical allergies. Thank you!!

Reliable source. Depend on this app when choosing safe products. You are what you put on your body!

No useful in the real world. I have had cosmetic allergies, so I was excited to hear about “Think Dirty “ However I found it very disappointing. It seems to only promote on line expensive cosmetics. Very few drug store or everyday brands are in the app even common ones like Nivea and others at average prices are not in the app. If I do put them in with the submit process there is no way to tell when or if products are annualized or add to the app. Less the 25% of every day products are in the app so if you need products day to day at a reasonable price this is not the app you want.

Great app providing its own info is accurate (no reason to doubt). One thing I've learned is the word NATURAL also mean it may be worse for you. Find it hard to find products that are rated lower risk in Canada, unfortunately (need shaving cream).

Product rating isn’t consistent. I like the idea of this app but I found the same product to be rated 2 or 3 different times with different levels of toxicity. I don’t really know what to believe. Seems like the only products that are non toxic seem to be like an advertisement. I would take any of this information with a grain of salt.

Love this app. I love how it gives me a rating so I know how clean or dirty a product is that I’m using!

Wow!. All I can say is wow! I scanned some of my products and most of them scored high on the dirty level. I didn't realize just how much junk is in that stuff. I plan on swapping some of my products for cleaner ones recommended in the app.

The paid version is worth it. For anyone who cares about the products they put on their skin or use in their home! I like the full ingredient breakdown in the paid version

WOW!. Amazing app that lists which products are good and those we should avoid. Easy to use and I can finally make wiser decisions!

Good app. Great app

Need more items. I have scanned over 50 items and none of them are on the app

Great tool. Great concept. They don’t have data on most of the products I look for... but I’m hoping the’ll get there.

What a shame. This WAS a very helpful resource that I had used for years. What a shame that the app is basically useless now without a subscription.

Love this.. This app is so useful and amazing.

So easy to use.. I love everything about the app, it’s easy to use. Thanks to them, I was about to change my all routine to green product.

Something’s fishy.... I haven’t been that impressed with Think Dirty. It seems to take the worst rating of any one ingredient and make it the overall rating. For example, every ingredient can be marked 1=green but, oops, it’s got fragrance and that’s an 8=red!!! The whole product will be marked an 8... RED!!!!! Also, every product I looked up stated that it had NOT been manually vetted so it’s only going on listed ingredients. All of the recommended products oddly enough have been manually vetted but are obscure and not easily attainable. Makes me wonder who’s paying for this “manual vetting”. Just my opinion so far. Am I wrong in my assumption?

It’s ok. This app is ok. Approximately 2 out of ten things I scanned are recognized in the app. I find I spend more time trying to get the info to help them add then looking for new products or knowing what is in the products I am using. If it is in the database then it is helpful.

Great. Wonderful app. Very useful. Also gives information such a scale from 1-10 on how bad the ingredients in the products are.

Great app. Good app! Use it everyday

Check your bathroom. Geeky rid of volatile chemicals is a good idea.

Great app!. I use this app to help me decide which products to buy. Some results are eye opening: products that advertise themselves as green or healthy sometimes score a high toxic score. You can’t trust the packaging — this app is indispensable!

Great but. Unfortunately not every product is listed so some won’t tell their levels but otherwise excellent app

It very very very useful. I use it anytime I want to try a new brand

Think Dirty App. I love the concept and think it’s useful for eliminating toxins from our lives. However I have 3 stars because they need to update their lists. Half the products I own are not even recognized and I would think it being such a popular app it could be more with the times.

Great app!. So useful

Amazing. Love how I can search products I need and find something that I can confidently use in my home.

A really amazing resource for everyone. Realizing what is in the products we buy and taking control over our own health is so important, and Think Dirty provides such an amazing resource for this.

Nik. Very useful

Love it. Thank you for creating something so useful. I can shop with confidence knowing which products I’m using aren’t toxic or harmful to me and my family.

Extremely misleading and flawed calculations. Some products (from the brand who pay the app to have a check mark) have a ratings of 0 but their ingredient list contains ingredients listed at 3-4, this doesn’t make any sense, it’s false advertisement. Fragrances are listed at 8 while essential oils, which are extremely sensitizing are listed at 0. The studies linked have often been retracted or about other products. For example, the Zinc dioxide study for the sunscreen is about POWDER, sunscreen has no powder, you can’t inhale the zinc inside your sunscreen. It’s extremely frustrating to read, hope the brands sue for defamation, you are trying to sell products too, insanity!!

:/. Isn’t that helpful unless u have the full version

Love it. This app is so helpful on keeping me informed on healthy products

Love this app!. It takes the guessing game out of trying to figure out if a product labelled “Natural” is really what it claims to be.

Good concept but needs improvement. Scan did not work.. many products are missing

love this app!. It’s great and convenient and is helping me make better purchases!

What parents need!. In this day and age it’s so important to be conscious of what we are putting on our bodies and our childrens body, this app gives me ease of mind and helps me navigate through marketing schemes and greenwashing to get the best products for my children and I. Thank you deeply for this -A crunchy mom

Willy’s hbd be. Good

Missing lots of products. Many products I scanned and there’s not in the database

Indispensable. Indispensable knowing which products are less toxic as it is so hard to tell from reading labels alone.

Glitchy. The information is great within the app, if they already have a product listed. However, any products I have submitted for review have never been completed or sent back to me with the “clean/dirty rating”. Also, the app hasn’t saved my products to my shelf. In the mean time, I will continue to use it for their current product reviews.

Thank you!. So grateful for this app. While there are some duplicate and conflicting product reports, overall I’ve come to trust the information. Moreover, I appreciate everything this app stands for and the mission of allowing customers to make informed clean beauty choices. I don’t buy anything without looking it up here first!

Best app for your health. There’s nothing more important for your health than knowing what your products contain. We are lucky that this even exists. Love this app. Dr. Bahareh Moshtagh, ND

Life changing. I adore this app and have learned so much. Gives you recommendations of other products that are cleaner then what you may be currently looking at.

Super useful app. Really handy, easy to use app for this concerned about the contents of their products. It could afford to be cleaned up a bit to reduce duplicate entries and eliminate confusion.

Useless if you don’t own the product. No way to search for a product by name prior to buying and have no UPC code. That option has disappeared.

Helpful. Helpful

Very informative!!. Great information, well laid out.

Useful. I absolutely love this app. It helps to know what is safe and isn’t safe. It has taught me so much.

helpful. very helpful just doesn’t have some common house hold products. but love it otherwise!! recommend it especially if u have babies/toddlers

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Must have app but needs work. The app is great but definitely needs improvement. It’s nice to know about harmful ingredients in the products you use daily, however they need to double checking and verify all the ingredients. I scanned 2 of the same product, one was travel size and the other a large size, and only the large one showed ‘parfum’ as a harmful ingredient while the travel size didn’t show it at all in the ingredients even though after checking the ingredients myself I saw it was in the small one also. They should have someone reviewing and adding products because some aren’t completely correct while other aren’t even there. While there is an option to add products, they don’t have anything to suggest an edit on a product.. but with work this app could be amazing!

Easy to Use. This app makes it easy to explore what’s in the products you use as well as browse for clean replacements. Highly recommend! I did not realize how many products that advertise themselves as “natural” or “simple” actually contain stuff you really would not want in or on your body. The app has an extensive database and you can add any product for review if it’s not listed. The search feature is not great, however - sometimes I enter a brand name and nothing comes up, but then I scan the barcode on the same product and it pops right up. The barcode scanner is a great tool to have with you for quick in-store research. All in all, I love this app and recommend it to anyone who is moving toward a cleaner lifestyle but is unsure where to start.

Used to be useful. Until they started locking things to make money, I thought it was kind of helpful. I would use this app and EWG to find products that had ok ratings (can’t afford the ones with a 0 score). EWG grades based off safety of ingredients for people & the environment where this app is just about safety for use on your person. I understood needing to upgrade for more detailed info about the grades & chemicals, but just locking random categories & products is just ridiculous. I’m deleting the app, I’ll stick with EWG since it’s still free. I’ve even uploaded products they didn’t have on both of the apps (take pics of front & back, etc) so it could be added, I’ve helped them out, but they only care about money which happens to a LOT of companies/people. Very unfortunate. At least EWG managed to get their money by certifying things (I was using that app before they were EWG).

There is one big problem. Hi, I like the idea of the app, it is really interesting, but there is one huge problem, the ”clean” ”dirty” rating system, they measure things that only affect a certain area on the body so high and recommend perfect 70 dollar replacements, for example, there is a toothpaste that has a chemical that can cause skin irritation, but the thing is, they rate it so high making it look bad, like who brushes there skin? And you would just clean it off if it was an accident and nothing bad would happen. This seems like an app that a vegan all nature person made, it is sort of useful to learn the ingredients, but basically, none actually poses a threat at all, like shampoo, THIS INGREDIENT CAN CAUSE EYE IRRITATION, that's a good thing in my opinion because I will know when there is shampoo in my eye, if my eyes where not irritated, I would be damaging my eye more by leaving shampoo in it, making the 0 rated shampoos more like 5 + Thanks for reading!

Very Useful. Just started using this app and it has become very useful. You hear people screaming in the streets on how certain ingredients are detrimental to your health, not knowing the full story. This app takes away the scare culture on “harmful” ingredients and lays it out in a way that helps you understand which ingredients are in fact harmful and which ones are okay to use. I use this app as a way to increase my overall knowledge. If I prefer to use one deodorant over another even though the rating is an 8 because of Fragrance alone, then I’m perfectly fine to take that information and continue to use said product without feeling like I’m going to die due to said fragrance ingredient. This app is extremely useful and I find myself using it at home and at the store.

Amazing! Everyone should be using this!. Before buying any products I go on think dirty and research to make sure it is going to agree with me before trying it. After spending so many years unsure of the truthfulness of product labels and unknown miscellaneous toxins inside the things I use daily, it’s a relief to finally have a place to get all the information I need to be an informed consumer. Not only is it important to use legitimate natural and organic products for your own cosmetics and household items for your own health benefit, but also the entire environment of the world is benefiting from the implemented use of these tested-clean products. The use of toxic chemicals in our everyday personal care products has an immense impact on our environment and our own health and well-being.

It’s really helpful, but it could be better. I’ve been using this app since around the start of school, and it’s really helped! I found that almost all of the products I was using wasn’t clean. A lot of the products I have though, the app didn’t have. Like not every single brand out there is on this app. That’s pretty stressful for me. I also wish that when you are searching that you can filter your searches with stuff like “cruelty free products”. That would be really good bc I am trying for all of my beauty products I use to be cruelty free. I now only have like two or three products that are tested on animals. Thanks so much to the makers of this app, but it just needs more brands and more products. Thanks for listening!

Best App Ever. I began my journey of cleaning out toxic products after doing extensive research on the correlation between harmful foods/products, and depression/anxiety. So happy that I stumbled upon this website because it’s changed my entire life! After checking products, and only purchasing the ones that are a 3 or below in toxic ingredients, I’ve experienced about 50% less mental health issues, acne and puffiness in my face and body, and allergic reactions which used to cause major sinus problems. It’s saved me so much money as well in not having to do the trial and error process nearly as much as before. I 1000% recommend!

Super Helpful and Informative. I’ve been trying use health products that are better for me, and this app definitely has been helping. It shows me what ingredients it has and their effect on people, explained in terms that aren’t difficult to understand. It also has a section for Black-Owned and LGBTQ+ inclusive businesses. The only downside I’ve encountered is that it doesn’t have every item I’ve come across. I didn’t dock it a star however because it does have a way to submit the information of items it hasn’t come across so that it can be added to its database. Overall, it’s an easy to use interface and very informational app.

Good app!. Overall I like this app and it has opened my eyes to a lot of bad products as well as good ones to switch to. One thing I wish it had, would be to filter things. So if someone has a specific allergy or thing that they can’t have on their skin, you can filter things that way. Or for example, if an item is ONLY considered dirty because of fragrance, id like to be able to filter it that way, as I’m not as concerned about an item if that’s the only dirty thing about it. My only other complaint is sometimes the same product is list 5 times with 5 different ingredients and none of those 5 ‘recipes’ match the product I’m holding in my hand that matches the title word for word... those need to be cleared up or clarified. Suspicious - I heard johnson & Johnson bought the app quietly and hardly any Aveeno products are listed on this. Ironic?

So much easier to check products!. I used to have a hard time when shopping, trying to check every item in long ingredient lists (just to find out at the end of the list that one harmful ingredient, which meant I had to seek another product). Now it’s so much easier! I hope that with time the database will get more complete. One really interesting thing would be to use OCR so you can take a picture of the ingredient list and the app would recognize the words and give a list of harmful ingredients in that product even if it’s not in the database. That way, it could probably be even used outside of the U.S.!

The “keyword” search IS HORRIBLE but THINK DIRTY IS AMAZING. It is sooooo difficult to find anything w their keyword search you have to frase things a certain way to get what you’re looking for. Also, I wish you could type in a brand and see ALL products from that brand to make looking for things difficult. And scanning things... it looks like 75% of products are not in their data base. Hire me and I’ll go from store to store taking pictures of UPC codes lol BUT I do LOVE that someone is putting their time to make an app like this it’s a huge eye opener, the US really needs to start making laws about cosmetics because we’re basically cleaning our faces with gasoline.

As a mom, I love this!!!. As a first time mom I want to make sure to always get the best products for my son. With food, I can read ingredients and pretty much know what I’m getting. Its NOT the same with body/bath products. There are SO many harmful chemicals in baby products I would have been using on my son if it wasn’t for this app, seriously. Even if you feel like you won’t use it a lot, download it. It’s always helpful even when I’m not expecting it. It’s helped me get the best products for my baby, keep him safe and his skin healthy, and learn what ingredients I need to stay away from. All the information they have on certain ingredients is amazing too. This way I actually know what I’m buying. GET THIS APP MOMS!

The quickest way to shop clean. I hate trying to scan labels for dirty ingredients. It’s time consuming and I simply can’t memorize which ingredients are clean and which are toxic because there are thousands. Trying to keep my household toxin free became overwhelming. This app made it a snap. I can just scan the barcode of what I’m looking at and see instantly how clean/toxic it is. If I’m wondering what one of the unpronounceable ingredients is I can just touch it and see what it is, what it’s for and how safe it is. If I need something and don’t know where to start there is the option to search by category and it recommends products and shows me where I can purchase them. I love it.

Please read this!!!!!!!!! Please!!. This is an awesome app, I love your goals with helping people be conscious buyers, but i disagree with your promotion of homosexuality, because it’s a sin, and is highly offensive. Children do NOT need to be seeing this kind of profanity and it is highly damaging to our entire society. Also, promoting and preferring a particular group of companies that have a specific skin color designated is racist. Why not have white owned business? I have a feeling you would say that is racist, but it’s just as bad as black only owned businesses. Our goal should be to be color blind and United as a country no matter our skin color. Also, FYI, masks cause more health problems than they’re worth. Especially if they’re re-used or have been touched. That’s science. Think of it like a face diaper. If we can’t remove the toxins out of our lungs we’re just breathing then back in again, wallowing in our own crap. Masks are disgusting and collect horrifying bacteria.

Very helpful!. Overall I love this app and the concept of it. I will say that due to the enormous amount of products out there, I rarely find ones that have been fully reviewed (meaning that the company’s fragrance policy has been fully vetted). I find this app more helpful if I am looking for open suggestions (i.e. if I search “body wash” a number of suggested products which have been fully reviewed will appear) versus if I search a specific product to see if it’s clean (for instance, “IT Cosmetics bb cream”), then it will only look at the listed ingredients and not the entire list of ingredients included under the umbrella of “fragrance.” Hope that’s helpful!

I like the concept but why are so many major brands missing?. Out of every skincare/hair product I use, only one item exists in your database. I don’t use anything obscure - I’m shocked that products from brands like Aveda and Garnier Fructis aren’t in your catalog. I’m not even using brand new products from those brands, it’s the same stuff I’ve been using for years. I like the concept and I know there are tons of products to go through. Unfortunately this app hasn’t helped me much because I don’t know if my tried-and-true products are good for me. I don’t want to switch over to a more expensive product that’s already in your database before knowing the impact of the stuff I’m already using. I guess I’ll keep adding every product I use myself and hope you get around to rating it.

My children and fiancé have eczema. This app has helped me and my family tremendously! When my son was first born we used Johnson and Johnson and couldn’t figure out the reason why his skin was reacting the way it was. We found out he had eczema like my fiancé and started to use this app to find products with less fragrance and that would be healthier for your skin. Since I have had this app it’s made me want to be more extensive with research on products and confirm it has no carcinogens or extreme fragrances that otherwise would react negatively towards my family skin. I absolutely love this app and recommended to everyone and anyone! Five stars doesn’t cut it! 100 stars all the way!

Great concept but has issues that make it ineffective. Pros: helpful to read why certain ingredients have negative ratings and their effects with scientific-study backed claims and sources. Cons: missing a majority of the brands and products I use (no Oribe products at all, Olaplex shampoo/conditioner, very few Drunken Elephant products, no Korean/Asian skincare brands doing the most innovative and therefore health-curious products (Cosrx, Bio-Essence), and very few non-drugstore or direct-to-consumer brands (little to no The Ordinary, no Playa hair, or Margiela products). Almost all products I use are bought from Sephora, directly from the brand or Asian/k-beauty stores and don’t have barcodes or aren’t featured in Think Dirty’s libraries so it renders the app fairly useless for a consumer like me. Not sure where the majority of their users shop or live but most products aren’t recognizable to a New York/US-based consumer who geeks out on beauty products and has countless ones she wants to know the real scoop on.

Love this app!. I started my journey of being low tox about 6 months ago, and this app is a game changer for me!! I love that it attaches link with evidence of why a chemical is bad and why the product received the rating it did. There are some products I couldn’t find, but the app allows you to take pictures of the product and have it be added to the database after it’s been reviewed. I feel strongly that you shouldn’t have be a genius to simple have product that are safe for you and your children, and this app is so helpful to quickly check if a product is safe or not. I seriously couldn’t be happier with this app and I also follow their Instagram page as well!

Makes shopping effortless, informative and transparent.. Great app! Not gonna lie I did NOT think it was used for what it is or I might not have downloaded it. *Ahem* anyways... Its the most useful app that I've found yet. It helps me choose which products that I use for me and my son as well as my other family! It has definitely brought to my attention many, many issues with some big brand names using false tactics to compete. The word "natural" isn't always natural in the case of health products. Besides, who besides a scientist would know what every ingredient in the list was without prior knowledge of the chemical makeup in products? Thank you THINK DIRTY.

Life changing App. After discovering my mother had cancer, her and I dumped all of our conventional high end makeup, beauty products, cleaning items, etc. in the trash and started from scratch. Being totally in the dark about the toxicity of our everyday items we were putting on our skin, learning how to maneuver the green beauty world was hard starting out. Think Dirty has made this all so incredibly easy! I don’t want to simply know of something is good or bad for me, I want to know WHY. I want the education so that I can further apply it in the future to other products I may come across. Think Dirty does all of that for me. Love love love! As my 3 year old daughter would say, Think Dirty App is a “winner winner chicken dinner!”

Helpful. It’s an incredibly useful tool to know what’s in our products! They have articles to back up what they say. The only thing I wish they would have is an option to put in the ingredients you can’t have. For example I can’t have aloe and so many of these great products have aloe. So I have to click on each product scroll through the ingredients and if they have aloe I go on to the next product. They do have the option to save each product I want so I’ve been saving each product that doesn’t have aloe. I love this app and have recommended it to several people already! Thank you so much for creating this!

Very Helpful But Has Issues. This app has helped so much in choosing clean ingredients. However, every once in a while I find wrong listing of ingredients vs the actual ingredients listed on product labels. One in particular is for Sunday Riley’s Good Genes…it’s given a dirty rating listing parabens when there actually aren’t any and it’s a clean product. Easy fix is looking at the ingredients yourself to verify against this app or any others out there. Another issue I have is that when I type in search terms listing the full name of the product, I have to scroll through numerous other non related products until I reach the one I typed in. This app could use a better search engine in that respect. Other than that, I use this and one other app and between the two they work well.

Many Aggravating Glitches. I listen to a health conference and download this app when it was mentioned. It seemed like a great idea. I want to say I love it and I have been able to look up a few products but it constantly closes the app and goes back to my main phone screen. It did it dozens of times while I looked up only a few items. Every time you change the screen it will close out. I was actually trying to add a product and was in the process of taking pictures before I submitted and it closed out again. This makes this app aggravatingly valuable. Some thing that should take a few seconds take several minutes because you have to keep going back into the app. This is a great idea but please fix this glitch. Before it is blamed on whether my phone is updated or not I am updated to iPhone 15 which is the requirement for this app.

Very helpful. I heard about this from watching a YouTuber who heard about it from a celebrity hair stylist. Apparently the die hard product she loved so much needed up not being so good to use and she was blinded by the love of the product not knowing that the reason her hair didn’t look great on some days was because of the product. She experienced dandruff and just was oblivious to the product being the issue because she thought she finally found something that worked for her. Anyways this app has help her keep her hair safe and health since then and I’m glad I Watched that video before purchasing the product she was praising prior.

Fantastic. Love this app, it is easy to use and I like to scroll through for recommendations. It's nice that you can go right to the websites to shop. I am cruelty free so this app has been very useful for me to compare and find new products. I do take the rating with a grain of salt, as should you. Having one ingredient that makes it a "9" is silly, yes I would like to use all products that aren't going to kill me, but pretty much everything has a fragrance of some kind, etc. I take a look, but I use this app more for finding new products to try than freaking myself out that everything I use and love is going to be the death of me.

Hair reviving. I straightened my hair for 2years straight and one day decided im done straightening my hair. I kept trying products for curly hair and nothing was helping some products making it worse. I downloaded this app and saw that everything i was using had like an 8 for the most part. I did use shea moisture which is rated pretty well though for a while. But anyways i ran to marshalls and started scanning and picked the products labeled 3’s because thats the lowest i could find at marshalls and right away started noticing how much healthier and curlier my hair was looking. I plan to go through my skin care with this too but it will take time since skin care is so expensive.

Enlightening. I have recently discovered this app as referred by a friend. I spent the first hour typing in all of my current skincare products to find out more than 50% of them are unclean. This app helped me explore affordable products and I have ordered from 2 new businesses and made sure to order products with a score from 0-3 (green). I am looking forward to changing my skincare routine. There is something extremely positive about knowing you’re taking care of yourself, especially as we age. So far this app has given me a clear conscious. I was SHOOK to see so many products that claim to be good for your skin are considered dirty *smh*.

it’s okay, rates irrelevant items.. i feel like i’m entering in more products in their database then i’ve looked at on the app. i also feel they label incorrectly. in one hair product, i found that they labeled the product bad because of a certain thing that was bad in makeup, but it was certified to be safe in hair. so for me that bad rating on the ingredient didn’t apply to the product, and it told me this when i clicked on the bad ingredient on the list. so you really have to look to make sure the rating is even correct, but hey i guess a bad ingredient is a bad ingredient. i have curly hair, so my products are almost all she’s butter moisture and Aussie. all Aussie products i looked up/scanned aren’t even on the website. i also use a sulfate & paraben free shampoo/conditioner from Aveeno, that wasn’t there either. like i said before i enter in more in the database then i’ve found. so personally i find this a little useless.

Thankful for this app!. Love this app! I check it before I buy products I’m unfamiliar with for my family. I hope the database keeps expanding as the only negative thing I could possibly say is that while I’m at the store (Walmart, Target) many barcodes aren’t registered in the app but I know as time goes on more and more products will be listed. I have complete confidence in this app and recommend it! I’ve had skin cancer (melanoma) so it’s very important to me what I’m putting on my skin. My son also has eczema so this app helps me recognize what products to avoid and which products will help him. Love it!

Life Changer!. SO necessary! I thought I'd been buying high quality products for years, that I had even researched. I clearly chose all wrong! While they were free of some harmful chemicals, they still had many others. This app is an easy and user friendly way to get past all of the noise and get straight to the science. This app does not take animal testing, sustainability, or the company's ethics into consideration when rating; which is REALLY helpful so you're just evaluating one "offender." I've been able to clean out my home and free my family from using products with harmful chemicals. Knowledge is power! I don't think I'll ever shut up about this app, it's just that amazing. HIGHLY recommended!

best app!!. i’ve recently discovered this app after finding out about it on instagram and i love it. i’ve been way more aware about what i’m using on my body and my face. it is extremely easy to use. they even recommend products to use that are safe and clean (with reviews that other uses have wrote so you know if the product actually works!!!) i would definitely get this app, it helps so much to know what is safe and what’s not. and it’s free!! i mean, why NOT get it?? this app deserves a lot more recognition. it’s crazy to see that the products that everybody uses have ingredients that aren’t really safe. the app also provides suggestions of products that are clean and useful. love it!!

Fix this app!!. I've used this app for a few months now but for the past couple weeks it continues to crash, not load or takes several minutes load. I've been using this app more lately because I'm trying to change my toothpaste, lotion, body oil & deodorant brands. Although when I'm shopping I usually just scan the barcode to quickly move along... now I'm sitting here in aisles for several minutes waiting for the result.. it's quite frustrating. Please fix this app. There are many problems to be looked at!! Other than that I do love this app because it does help suggest different products that aren't toxic or harmful to my body.. so if someone would fix the crashing and long wait hours then I'd rate it a 5/5. Thanks

So helpful !. I am a hairstylist for over 25 years . I use the app to see what ingredients are in products. Not all professional products are high quality and worth the $ ! Not all green products deliver the results. Also not all clean ingredients are something you should put on your hair ! Alcohol and glycerin can be drying. Some oils are too heavy and lay on top of the cuticle , ex: coconut, avocado etc . This app gives me a clear view of the ingredients! Armed with more knowledge my clients can buy the products at my salon or use the app to get better quality ingredients/products when I am not there to guide them !

App is absolutely life changing. I was always aware of to the household products that were harmful but now that I’m trying to make an extra step to be conscientious of certain brands and ingredients. I find this app extremely helpful and it absolutely useful. It’s helped me choose products wisely as well as make a healthy positive impact on my life. I have shared this with my followers on social media as well as my family members. I would extremely recommend this app to anybody who has skin allergies, new mamas and becoming more product health-conscious. This will help anyone confused as to how to start a lifestyle where you consciously buying things that are positive to the environment as well as your health.

Misleading and misinformation. I used to like this app when it was first introduced to me a couple of years ago . But the more I use it the less I like it. There are so many inconsistencies. There are products that have the same ingredients yet with very different readings. There are products that have a zero rating and yet have ingredients that are fours and fives, and in the same category items that are rated a three and their highest ingredient is a three? It makes no sense as I said misleading and I think that the developers have been very lax in keeping up with the products submitted and their ratings. If you do not do your own research outside of this app you could end up fooling yourself into thinking you’re using a good product but it has just as many toxins as the one you gave up. Hoping to find a similar app that takes the time necessary to provide correct information.

Imperative. Being that the cosmetic laws about beauty products haven't changed since 1938 this App is something every gal should have! It's all too easy to get caught up in all the joyful colors at Sephora and spend a billion dollars on things that will kill you. I'd much rather know what's actually in that bottle and make the decision whether to add it to my routine or keep searching for a product that works yet won't harm me. Their mission is awesome to give the knowledge bak to the consumer even if iit will take a while to populate the database completely. I find it frustrating that stuff isn't in there yet and then I remember how many products must be out there and I help by uploading. I give them 5 stars for even undertaking that responsibility. Thank You !

Don’t Waste Your Time. So I went and looked up pretty much every single product in my bathroom and found that all of them are scored with a horribly harsh number all because of one common ingredient: parfum/fragrence (an umbrella term for the chemicals used to make cleansing products smell decent). I just don’t understand how on earth products I have been using for year with no breakouts, no irritation, literally no problems are suddenly evil because they smell good? I get that for certain products like vaginal cleansers and lube scent is a no go but you’re gonna tell me my deodorant is bad for smelling good? I have gained nothing from this app, rather I’ve wasted my time and have been bombarded with ads for sponsored brand deals (which I assume the app is utilizing as its main source of income). Do not waste your time! Go buy those darn drug store products that are affordable and works for your body, don’t let this app fool you into thinking you need a whole new bathroom shelf!

Amazing. I don’t usually leave reviews but this app is great. I have sensitive skin and didn’t realize how bad a lot of my products were even some that were recommended to me by my dermatologist. There are some products that haven’t been registered yet which is understandable since it’s a fairly new app and there are tons of brands out there. They do allow you to take pictures and upload the products that are not in their system so I can tell this app will only get better. I do wish there were more drugstore brands in the “our picks” which are their recommended alternatives. But its definitely a you get what you pay for type of deal. I definitely will eventually trying their subscription box!

Awesome app!. This app has really helped me understand what’s in my products I’m using on my hair and skin! It also helps me replace products I use with similar ones that are better ingredients wise! It’s made a big difference in my life honestly because I wasn’t always seeing results promised with products I was using and it’s because they weren’t even good!! After making the switch I was able to find items to keep my hair long and healthy and my skin glowing and clear. I also love using this app while I’m shopping to see how good the product is before I buy it to save money and time. Super duper handy! And if a product you scan isn’t in their database you can easily add it by taking a couple pictures!

Cool idea, a few things need looked into. I downloaded this app excited to scan products. I have worked with Aveda products for 15 years. Their products are vegan and naturally derived from plants and fruits. The app lists the ingredient “fragrance (parfum)” as dirty. The ingredient is listed as parfum on Aveda’s products, however, there is an asterisk on the bottles and it shows what the parfum actually is. It’s a combination of vegan and naturally derived essential oils that create the parfum or aroma. I don’t know about other lines, but I feel this is app is inaccurate with this product line. It could possibly deter someone from using Aveda products when they are actually quite good for people and are super eco friendly! Yes, fragrances (parfum) in some other brands is synthetic or alcohol based, but Aveda products absolutely are not.

So helpful 🥰. This app is so useful and informative, not only does it tell you what’s in the products you are ABOUT TO BUY!! (Yes this is awesome because you don’t have to find out later that something is trash and have paid a decent amount of money for it) but it also explains what the item is used as in the product and what beneficial/harmful qualities said item has. Love this, scanned everything in my house and threw away everything with red or yellow ingredients! 10/10 you should get this, our skin is the largest organ on/in our bodies, it’s complex and sensitive, we need to care for it! We absorb through the skin, be careful and understand why you are putting on your body! 😍🥰🙏🏾👌🏽✌🏿

A great app!. In the past few years, I’ve become much more aware of what skin care products I’m using. With some terrible acne and dryness, I couldn’t believe how some of these companies were lying to me that something was “gentle” or for sensitive skin. With Think Dirty, it takes the worry out of products! When I stumble upon a new product, for my skin or hair, I always open up this app and see its score. Can’t wait to see it develop more in the future. I’m always telling friends and skin care junkies like myself about it! 4 stars because I think it still needs some more traction for more review on individual products and they’re working on further explanation with products. Also, there’s not always a product on there.

it was great! until it wasn’t... I’ve been obsessed with this app since I downloaded it. I loved the ease of finding different products by scanning the barcodes. However, recently it’s not been as simple. Almost every product I scan/search for (even from big, common brands) isn’t in the ThinkDirty database OR it has been submitted by a user and I can’t see the rating unless I pay. I’ve read other reviews in which ThinkDirty claims to promote businesses in their app in order to keep the app free for everyone. And while yes, the app is technically free, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find the ratings of any products in stores without paying for premium. I’m really upset with this change because I thought ThinkDirty was a group that had accessibility at the forefront of their mind :(

Good info, but not perfect app.. Having this information in the ease of an app was a brilliant idea. The biggest problem with using it is how general it is about many ingredients, such as fragrance. The app states that if the company is not clear about where the fragrance is derived from it rates it as toxic. Although many fragrances can be incredibly toxic and hard to spot on the label, the app glosses over many that are perfectly healthy. For example, the app rates Lush Cosmetics Dream Cream as toxic, when it is in reality it is completely clean, and the information about where all of the ingredients are from including fragrance are very readily available. If this app was a little more careful to be correct about the ratings, it could be an incredible tool.

Whiff of Pretentiousness?. It’s funny to me that the vast majority of the products at the top spot are mostly unavailable to mass market. The majority of the “acceptable” products are little companies with very few customers and reach. Some of the products I can’t even get in my country, and I would have to have specially delivered across the globe. How is that environmentally conscious? You need to show products available at the stores that people go to!!! I’m not buying a product from some guy across the world who’s a step above selling his stuff at a farmers market! That’s insane. It’s also counterproductive to pollute the planet to get me a product. I want to know what’s good at Target, what’s good at Walmart, what’s good at Natural Grocers. I’m not going out of my way to buy a special deodorant only available in Canada. That’s not how you make an impact, you make an impact by allowing people to vote with their dollar where they shop! This as it stands is elitist garbage from people who want to pat themselves on the back. Change

Love. I’ve been using this app for many years now and consult it RE all of the products I use on my body (the alternatives of which are in many cases super harmful and dangerous on multiple fronts). Yes, I have wondered in the past about the relationships between the owners of positively reviewed products and the creators of this app (haven’t tried to do any recon on that recently - can’t remember if I have in the past). But I still love it for reviewing ingredients, explaining what's harmful about them, and providing supporting research material. And now for including categories such as lgbtqia-inclusive businesses, black-owned businesses, and women-owned businesses. I whole-heartedly recommend!

could use a few improvements but i love it!!. helps so much with deciphering what the right product is for me! i’m trying to switch to all natural products for as many things as possible and this app helps a ton. my reasoning behind only four stars is that i would love to see improvement in a few things: the barcode scanner can be finicky sometimes and won’t scan anything even when following the directions listed for scanning a product. and probably the BIGGEST THING is i would LOVE if they would put more products in their system. most of the products are outdated and they don’t have many new brands to get information on. all in all i highly recommend though!

Be Mindful. Just discovered this app. I read through the ratings and I give this a 5. It doesn't list all the products I use and "true" it may list a product as a "9" with only one or two ingredients making the "hit" list; however, as "sun" damage is "cumulative" and leads to skin cancer (as I have experienced) more than likely using products with ingredients that are on the "hit" list can lead to "cumulative" changes in the skin/body. I just think in this day and age - "be mindful" of products placed on your skin as well as food you intake into your body. I've sent the link to this app to my daughter and daughter-in-law who are both in their early 30's. More than enough time to become more "mindful".
