Chapter II · Features

Six things that set MySkinIQ apart.

Each one came from a real reaction we couldn't explain with a score.

01 · Signature

A profile that is yours.

Patch-test results, known sensitivities, the things that make your skin flare. Add them once. Every scan is read against your list — not a generic risk score.

Fragrance Mix I MI / MCI Limonene Linalool Cobalt Nickel Balsam of Peru Quaternium-15
02 · Mapped findings

— families, mapped.

Mapped fragrance findings may warrant review alongside your patch-test results. A shared fragrance grouping does not establish that you are allergic to every member.

03 · Endocrine context

Endocrine-related findings.

Available endocrine-related findings and regulatory context; evidence and restrictions vary by ingredient and use. An ingredient-list flag alone does not determine risk at the product's concentration.

Review evidence and use
04 · Verdict

Clear. Caution. Avoid. Couldn't verify.

Read the verdict with its profile context and verification limits. An incomplete check is not a personalized clearance.

Clear Caution Avoid Couldn't verify
05 · Transparency

No black-box scores.

You can read why we said what we said. For an allergen match, available source context may include NACDG prevalence, an ACDS panel, or regulation.

Available evidence
Source and study context when available. Prevalence is not supplied for every finding.
06 · Method

Photo, barcode, or ingredients.

Photograph the ingredient label, scan a barcode, or paste an ingredient list. Results depend on readable ingredients and available product data.

Chapter IV · The reading

From bottle to verdict in three steps.

Each step is transparent. None requires a score to trust.

01 · Capture

Photo, barcode, or ingredients.

Photograph the ingredient list, scan a barcode, or paste ingredients. If product data cannot be read, try a clearer label photo.

02 · Reading

Each ingredient, against your list.

Available ingredients are checked against reference data and your saved sensitivities. Without saved allergens, a general screen cannot tell you what is clear for you.

Chapter V · Evidence

Reference sources and their limits.

Clinical panels, published studies, and regulation provide different kinds of context. Source attribution and coverage vary by record.

NACDG
North American Contact Dermatitis Group
Biennial patch test surveillance across North American dermatology clinics. It provides available prevalence context for individual allergen records.
Updated biennially · patch test surveillance
ACDS
American Contact Dermatitis Society
ACDS core-series guidance informs patch-test screening. Check the source and panel version when available; this page does not establish complete coverage of the latest series.
ACDS core-series guidance
EBS
European Baseline Series
The standard patch test panel across EU dermatology clinics, maintained by the European Society of Contact Dermatitis.
ESCD maintained · EU standard
EU Reg
EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009
The regulation sets ingredient restrictions based on safety assessments. Regulatory status is distinct from endocrine evidence; restrictions vary by ingredient and use. An endocrine-related flag alone does not predict harm from using the product.

Common questions.

Is this medical advice?

+
No. MySkinIQ is an educational tool to help you make informed decisions. Allergen matching does not diagnose allergy or rule out irritation. It is not a substitute for patch testing or a dermatologist. If you have severe or persistent reactions, see a doctor.

How accurate is the allergen database?

+
Our active-allergen library draws on NACDG, ACDS, and the European Baseline Series — the same clinical panels dermatologists use for patch testing. We update the database as new surveillance data is published.

What if I don't know my allergens yet?

+
You can review available ingredient findings without an allergen list, but a general screen cannot establish what is clear for you. Add known sensitivities or clinician-provided patch-test results to your profile for personal matching. Ask a dermatologist about diagnosis and patch testing.

What do the verdicts and verification limits mean?

+
Clear — the check found no covered concerns for the saved profile. It is not a guarantee that you will not react.

Caution — review the flagged findings and their available evidence before deciding.

Avoid — the check identified a concern; read the reason and compare the physical label.

Couldn't verify — the app could not complete the check with the available information. Try a clearer ingredient photo or another input. Do not treat an incomplete check as Clear.

Without saved allergens, general findings are not personalized clearance. Published prevalence, when provided, describes a study population rather than your individual chance of reacting.

Do you sell my data?

+
We do not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Signing in with Apple or Google is optional. Your allergen profile may still be stored in Google Firebase when you use the app without Apple or Google sign-in. Online analysis runs on MySkinIQ servers. Depending on the feature, outside AI services such as Google Gemini or Anthropic (Claude) receive product photos, text, or selected profile information. Read our privacy policy for details about storage, each service's inputs, and export and deletion options.

Can I use this for food allergies?

+
No. MySkinIQ is designed for topical skincare ingredient analysis only. Food allergy mechanisms are different and require different tools and clinical oversight.
