Little Bean - Cosmetic Checker for Negative User Reviews

✓ Does what it’s meant to*edit* It failed to pick up on a medium risk ingredient (octinoxate) because it was listed under a different name (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate). Easy to use; the scanner functions really well. It’s quite fun going through your bathroom cabinet and checking all the ingredient labels with this app! I had manually checked most of the products I use early on in my pregnancy and it was a relief when this scanner confirmed that everything I’ve been using is safe. The only thing this app needs is a function that allows you to copy paste a list of ingredients for products that you are interesting in purchasing..Koa61Version: 1.5

✓ Disappointing if I’m honestI didn’t read the reviews prior to buying the app and am pretty disappointed that I purchased it. If there had been a way to test drive it I never would have, though it’s only $4 and perhaps will improve in the future. Here are my major gripes in a hope it will be helpful for the design team and other users: - You must have the physical product in hand to scan, there is no way to upload a list or use a camera role photo. Therefore this isn’t helpful for checking the safety of products prior to ordering them online. - It seems as though they aren’t leveraging the power of AI to have a more robust ability to check thousands of ingredients. I used to work in the cosmetics industry and it appears the app is limited in its ability due to a small ingredient database. - You cannot search by a product name or brand to get a sense of safety for the product as a whole (again I feel like we have this technology now) which is frustrating as a user as we are rarely looking at singular ingredients and ideally would know the safety level of a product in its totality..Kbf07Version: 1.14

✓ Doesn’t work wellThis app scans the words on an ingredient list. This would be great for items I have with a list on it, but what about those that don’t. But it doesn’t even do a great job with the list, missed multiple ingredients on the label that are a risk..CjwpjlVersion: 1.6

✓ Confusing…..I tried scanning the ingredient list and it only read fragrance…then I tired to type in a few of the ingredients and neither of them showed up in the data base. Even though one of them is actually highlighted in their photos previewing the app, Butylene Glycol. I have never been more frustrated to find an app that just tells me what is safe and what is not when it comes to skin care for baby and me. I’m upset hahaha.ScorpioluvvyVersion: 1.15.0

✓ It’s ok for catching some things but look at all ingredientsIt’s helpful sometimes but I just tried scanning a list of 7 known labeled names for retinoids (from a pregnancy book) and it only flagged 5 of them. It said nothing about the other two since they aren’t in the limited data base. The app should really include a list of the ingredients it did not look at so you can do a secondary search on those ingredients. I was excited to find this app because I thought it would look at all ingredients but it is only looking for the things in the explicit list, which isn’t all-inclusive..Oysterf524Version: 1.11

✓ Not workingSuper bummed. The scanner doesn’t work at all. I held it up to the wall and it scanned and said “no harmful ingredients found”. I saw the negative reviews and hoped they were fixed but I guess not. As I just downloaded it I can’t “update it” to fix the problem like they said..BrodyandbearVersion: 1.10

✓ Not convenient / informative enoughDisappointed. It doesn’t seem to have all known things to avoid and the descriptions are pretty light / don’t include sources or additional information. I thought it’d be convenient to be able to scan items, but in reality a lot of items don’t have the ingredients on the bottle. There is a website (not related to this app) that allows you to search a database of products for safety / risks… I’ve found that much more useful and includes trusted certifications / research..AES20Version: 1.14

✓ Option to type in or upload would be niceIt would be so helpful if the app had the option to upload a picture of, or insert via copy/ paste the ingredients of products. I downloaded the app so I could check on products BEFORE I buy them (online), meaning I can’t scan them! Such a bummer!! Would have been great….Ladedalady422Version: 1.14

✓ UnreliableIt seems to deem everything safe. I have separately googled ingredients which the app states as safe and other sites suggest are unsafe. Not sure this is reliable..Mum2b2023Version: 1.14

✓ UselessYou can only scan ingredients lists and the majority of my skincare bottles/jars don’t have the list - that was on the box that’s long gone. Also their list of ingredients is not comprehensive so even if you google an ingredients list, you can’t find the effect of all ingredients. Absolutely don’t waste $4 on this app..KajdjakosVersion: 1.14

✓ Big?Doesn’t seem to register any scans. Appears to time out after a while and then pops up with “No harmful ingredients found” every time. With all the positive reviews, and another user experiencing the same thing, I’m assuming it’s a recent bug..Bokyboky22Version: 1.9

✓ Waste of buying the appI bought this app to see if my skincare was safe for my pregnancy. You can only scan the ingredients list which I don’t really find beneficial as it doesn’t pick up the whole list unless the product is completely flat. You can’t search up any products either if they don’t have ingredients on them either so I wasted £3.50 on this app.NsmsknVersion: 1.11
