ChemSafe India
Scan ingredient lists to identify harmful chemicals banned in other countries but still used in India.
The EU bans 1,700+ substances in cosmetics. India's restricted list is far shorter, and enforcement is weak.
Database compiled from: WHO/IARC Monographs, EFSA, US FDA, FSSAI, JECFA, ECHA (REACH), US NTP, CSE India, EWG, Stockholm Convention, PubMed peer-reviewed research, EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 (CosIng), US CPSIA/TSCA, BIS IS 4707, DEDuCT 3.0.

With API key (recommended): Your photo is sent to Google Cloud Vision, which uses AI to read text on curved, reflective and small-print labels with high accuracy. The image is processed and immediately discarded. Google does not store it.
Without API key: Uses Tesseract.js, which runs locally in your browser. It handles flat, well-lit text but struggles with the curved and glossy labels found on real products.
