SkinSafe: Your Guide to Safe Skin Care Products

When shopping for skin care products, it’s crucial to ensure that the ingredients won’t irritate your skin. Even products labeled as hypoallergenic, organic, or all-natural can still cause trouble, especially if you have sensitive skin. To help you make informed choices, the SkinSafe app has been developed by Mayo Clinic experts. This app does all the label reading for you, so when you buy and apply your lotions and creams, you can be more certain that the ingredients are safe.

The SkinSafe app contains over 18,000 allergens and cross-reactors combined with more than 15,000 pre-screened skin care products. This makes it the world’s most complete resource for individuals suffering from contact dermatitis. With both mobile and web access options, SkinSafe helps you screen skin-care products for chemicals you should avoid and gain peace of mind knowing what is or is not safe to use.

As a user, you can get updates to your “safe list” and receive alerts when products are added or updated to the list. SkinSafe updates more than 400 products per month and adds over 500 new products annually, ensuring that your shopping list stays current and comprehensive.

By using SkinSafe, you can take control of your skin health and avoid potential allergens, preventing allergic outbreaks and ensuring that your skin care routine is both effective and safe.
