Until then you can use the fully functional German decoder — ingredient names (INCI) are international and the traffic-light ratings are language-independent.
Open the INCI Decoder →Find the INCI list on your product — the ingredient panel on the packaging, the retailer page, or the brand website. It usually starts with Aqua/Water and lists ingredients in descending order of concentration.
Paste the whole list — commas, periods, and line breaks all work. The decoder splits the list automatically and matches every name against our database of over 1,000 INCI ingredients.
Each ingredient is rated green, yellow, or red based on safety, comedogenic potential, and function. You also get a summary: proven actives, humectants, preservatives, and anything worth a second look.
