So glad to have this!
Going clean is process! It’s slow, often frustrating, even intimidating. But the Switch Natural app has allowed me to research items so easily, make decisions that are best for me, and find good alternatives WITH EASE! Soooo worth the one time fee. Used weekly at a minimum!
The easiest app for navigating ingredients
I’ve tried them all and have them all, but this is the best and easiest to use! No more scrolling to find the product or searching to only find it hasn’t been catalogued yet in the system. All you have to do is take a quick pic, it scans the ingredients for you and gives you a break down where you can decide what’s right for you! Genius!
Thought it worked for food 😔
It was not clear to me that this app worked specifically for beauty products. I was really excited to have it for the things that I eat but it doesn’t work for that… even if I look up things like “high fructose corn syrup” nothing shows up… I think that needs to be made a little more clear and I hope that will be an update later on.
Love it (most of the time)
I adore this app and for a long time touted it to everyone and anyone who would listen! But lately it’s crashing often, not loading pictures, and I find myself hesitant to use it because it’s frustrating.
crashes
i’ve really liked this app in the past but recently after the update and even before, all it does is crash.
CANT LIVE WITHOUT THIS!
Andrea has done the work. All you do is scan! I scan every product through here before I purchase it. The best sites is that green check mark to know what I’m bringing in my home is safe and clean. This is better than the well know “other” site 1000%!
Gospel?
While s->n helps dissect ingredient terminology I don’t recommend relying heavily on the results as the app does not read based on percentages. E.g. phenoxyethanol has been listed as harmful, what isn’t taken into account is that most of the time it’s listed low to last on ingredient lists and that is because it is a preservative, chemists go through measures to ensure that the ingredient isn’t incorporated at an unsafe percentage. Not to mention the widespread myth that fragrance (parfum) is bad for skin. Unless you are allergic or sensitive to fragrance it’s simply not an issue so long as it isn’t high on the ingredients list it’s not going to break you out nor dry out your skin. I personally use this app to save time however I take most “harmful ingredients” with a grain of salt and you should too, this is a guide, not your skincare bible.
