App summary

Scan a product. Review its rating. Pick the better choice.

Healthy living just got that easy.

From snacks to shampoos: We are exposed to chemicals every second, yet we know very little about them. To help you navigate this complicated world and make safer choices, EWG combined two of our most popular resources, our Skin Deep and Food Scores databases, to form our Healthy Living App. Now EWG's trusted ratings for more than 120,000 food and cosmetics products are at your fingertips.

Just scan a barcode, search by name or browse by category, and EWG will give you an easy-to-understand 1-10 score (1 being the best!) backed by science you can trust.

Better beauty and healthy living has never been easier.

User reviews
1) Every time you hit the back button, you have to start your search over. 2) It tells you a list has been created but no list is available for you to save products to. 3) Website has a link to buy verified products. Why doesn't the app? This app isn't very well thought out. Too bad because there aren't many alternatives.

Can't make lists of saved items. I have had this app and created an account a few years ago. I had previously created lists so I could save items. I logged in today to find my lists are gone. I tried multiple times to create lists again, and now this feature won't work at all. I signed out and back in several times, but that was unhelpful. What's the point if I can't save items to refer to later?

The EWG web site has a lot of products with health information available. However, nearly every product I scan with the app shows "no product found". But if you type in the name of the product to do a manual search for it, then it might find it. Who wants to stand around in the store typing in names of dozens of products. Please fix the scan feature.
