A pioneer in the field, Yuka is an application dedicated to monitoring the composition of products. By scanning the barcode of the selected product, you immediately obtain details of its composition and a score out of 100.
The application thus lists each ingredient and then assigns a color code indicating the benefits or the dangerousness of the article. Green indicates that the product is safe for your health. Orange can correspond to the presence of an allergen or an irritating molecule. Red warns you of the presence of a controversial molecule. You can then choose whether or not to purchase the product.
It is still important to note that Yuka does not take into account the quantity of each ingredient when analyzing the composition of a product. This reliability limit is a small drawback for the application.
However, you can be sure that the products with the highest ratings pose no risk to your skin or your health. This is the case for cosmetic care, but also for certain make-up products.
A mascara that is safe for your eyes – 100/100
Directly placed in contact with the eyes, a particularly sensitive area, the mascara must be made from healthy, low allergenic elements. Dyes must, for example, be carefully chosen by manufacturers, as must preservatives, etc. Some products of this type are precisely designed not to irritate the mucous membrane of the eye or the eyelids. This is the case of the Beautiful Lash mascara from the Sephora brand. Formulated from 96% ingredients of natural origin, it obtains the best possible score on Yuka, a nice 100/100. This is explained by the choice of ingredients, all vegan, and by its brush entirely made of vegetable fibers.
If the mascara is in contact with the eyes, the kohl pencil is sometimes rubbed directly on the eyelid. Its composition is therefore also of paramount importance. The Sephora waterproof and vegan eye pencil. In addition to its 90% ingredients of natural origin, it relies on a vegan formula tested and approved on sensitive skin. Mission accomplished for the brand.
Hydrated lips with safe care – 79/100
To be supple and smooth, the lips must be regularly moisturized during the day. You are probably used to using a balm or lipstick for this. Here again, real differences in composition exist between the products currently marketed. Do you want to be sure to choose a healthy product for your smile? Look to a well-rated stick on Yuka, like the one from Sephora. The brand’s Moisturizing LipBalm passes its test with flying colors, scoring a 79/100.
