Scan What You Use. See What's In It — With Sources.
Detox My Life is an ingredient checker by photo and a toxin scanner for the whole home. Point the camera at any label — shampoo, dish soap, cooking oil, a candle, the kids' sunscreen. It reads the ingredient panel (or estimates the ingredients when there isn't one), works out how you're about to use the product (a bottle of canola on the counter is about to be heated; a lotion stays on skin), and researches every ingredient for that use, with live sources in three evidence tiers you choose between.
What it does:
- Photo ingredient checker — any label, any country, no barcode, no "not found"
- Evidence lens — consensus, emerging and fringe claims, each with the other side and a live source
- Detox Score — every scan adds to one relative number for your home, where 50 is typical for your region
- Next three swaps — ranked by impact and ease, alternatives by type, never brands
- Progress graph, per-room breakdown, gentle reminders — all on your phone, no account
How It Works
Start With What You Use
No questionnaire and no onboarding: photograph the products you actually use — shampoo, dish soap, a candle, the non-stick pan — or add one by hand. Your first scan already gives you a Detox Score, where 50 is a typical home in your region. No account needed.
Read the Label, Not a Barcode
The camera reads the ingredient panel itself, so store brands, imports and boutique products all work. The app infers the likely use and shows it — Looks like: cooking with heat — and one tap corrects it. Heated seed oil is not cold seed oil, and the research knows the difference.
Research in the Lens You Choose
Every flagged ingredient carries a plain-English claim, why it applies to this use, what would have to be true, the other side, and live sources. Claims are tiered — consensus, emerging, fringe — and you pick Mainstream, Cautious or Based. The app tells you how many claims a wider lens would add.
A Plan, Not a Badge
Your next three swaps ranked by impact and ease, with cleaner alternative types — never brands, never affiliate links. Mark one done and the score moves right now.
Sources You Can Check
Every source is resolved to its publisher and verified live before it's shown. Each source shows what kind it is, and a site that sells the alternative is labelled sells an alternative; a claim resting only on one is dropped. No brand pays to appear.
Watch the House Get Cleaner
Score over time, points since you started and a per-room breakdown — computed on your phone by rules you can read, the same inputs always giving the same number.

What is Detox My Life?
Detox My Life is a non-toxic product scanner and ingredient checker that reads any product label by photo, infers how you use the product, and researches each ingredient with live, verified sources in three evidence tiers — consensus, emerging and fringe — that you choose between. Every scan adds to a relative Detox Score, where 50 is a typical home in your region, with a plan of next swaps ranked by impact and ease and a graph that shows the house getting cleaner. It is local-first with no account and no ads, and it is research, not medical advice.
Look Up Any Ingredient — No App Needed
The same deterministic engine that scores a scan in the app now answers on the web. Search the household ingredient checker: one page per ingredient the engine has researched and source-verified, with its level for each way it reaches you (on skin, in food, breathed in, in drinking water), every claim's evidence tier, confidence and sources, and the safer swap types. Paste a whole label into the label checker and it rates every ingredient it knows, in your browser, for the use you pick. Or start from the product: non-toxic swaps by category — scented candles, non-stick pans, dryer sheets, dish soap and more.
Frequently asked questions
What is Detox My Life?
Detox My Life is an ingredient checker that reads the product label itself with your camera — no barcode, no database to miss. It infers how you're about to use the product, researches every ingredient for that use, and shows each claim with an evidence tier (consensus, emerging or fringe), the reason it applies, the other side of the argument, and live sources. Every scan adds to a Detox Score for your home, where 50 is typical for your region; a plan of next swaps and a score graph keep it climbing.
How is this different from Yuka, Think Dirty or EWG?
Those apps look a barcode up in a database and give you one score. Detox My Life reads any label by photo (store brands, imports, the bottle under the sink), tells you why each ingredient is flagged for the way you use it, sorts every claim into an evidence tier you can widen or narrow, shows the sources, and scores your whole home instead of one product — then gives you a plan.
What is the evidence lens?
Claims are tiered: consensus (regulators, systematic reviews, major bodies), emerging (peer-reviewed but contested or recent), and fringe (hypotheses and commentary, labelled as not consensus and always shown with the counter-evidence). Mainstream shows consensus only; Cautious adds emerging (the default); Based adds the fringe. The app always tells you how many claims a wider lens would add, and your Detox Score is computed under the lens you chose.
Is it medical advice?
No. Detox My Life presents research with sources and evidence tiers. It never diagnoses, never tells you to start or stop a medication, treatment, sunscreen or vaccine, and never says a product causes a disease in you. Talk to a qualified professional about your health.
Does it work offline?
Everything except the scan itself: the score, your products, the plan, history and backup are on your phone with no account. A scan sends the label photo to our scan service; if you're offline it's queued and nothing is used up.
What happens to my photo?
It is downscaled on your phone, sent to our scan service, read by the vision model and discarded. No image is stored on our servers. The only server-side records are an anonymous usage log you can delete from Settings and, if you use Invite a friend, your invite code.
Where can I get Detox My Life?
Detox My Life is on Google Play for Android and on the App Store for iPhone.
Can I check an ingredient without installing the app?
Yes. The ingredient checker on this site has one page per ingredient the app's engine has researched, with the level by use and lens, every sourced claim and its evidence tier. The label checker runs the same rules in your browser on a pasted ingredient list. The app adds the camera: it reads any label, infers the use, researches ingredients nobody has looked up yet, and builds a Detox Score and a swap plan for your whole home.
What is free and what is Pro?
Free forever: the Detox Score, five scans every 30 days with full results and sources, your next swap, manual add, and JSON backup and restore — no ads, no account. Detox My Life Pro adds unlimited scans, lens control, the full next-three plan with Later and Skip, history graphs with a per-room breakdown, and a weekly plan check-in reminder. Billing is store-managed; the annual plan carries a 7-day free trial.
Privacy First — Your Home Stays on the Phone
Here's exactly how it works:
- No account, no login. Your products, plan and history are stored only on your device.
- The photo is processed, not kept. A scan sends the label photo to our scan service, which reads it and discards it. No image is stored on our servers.
- One anonymous log, deletable in one tap. The only server-side record is a scan usage log keyed to a random installation identifier — delete it from Settings any time.
- No ads, no trackers, no affiliate links, no paid placements.
- Research, not medical advice. Every claim carries an evidence tier and a live source; fringe claims are labelled as not consensus and shown with the other side.
