About this app

Think Dirty is the easiest way to learn about the potentially toxic ingredients in your cosmetics and personal care products. It’s an independent source that allows you to compare products as you shop. Just scan the product barcode, and Think Dirty will give you easy-to-understand info on the product, track dirty ingredients, and shop for cleaner options.

• Search by Keyword or Barcode Scanning: Our database lists over 850,000 cosmetics and personal care products from Canada and the U.S.

• Personalized Ingredient Preferences (Premium): Save time by pre-selecting your Allergens, Ingredient preferences and personalizing your shopping experience. Ingredient alerts will be presented if we find flagged ingredients in the products you viewed.

• Search by Ingredient (Premium): Unlock to get detailed information about its usage, health impact, sources, and which products contain such ingredients.

• Search by Curated Categories (Premium Feature): Unlock to access our curated speciality lists such as Mineral Sunscreens, SLES-Free Skincare, Vegan Makeup

• Expiry Date Tracker: Is that mascara still good to use, but don't remember how long you have had it? Now you can keep track of its expiry date on your Bathroom Shelf. Enter Open Date and Shelf Life, and you will never put expired products on your face again!

• Dirty Meter®: A comprehensive rating is given, along with detailed (but easy-to-understand) information on ingredients, certifications, and health impacts.

• My Bathroom Rating: Keep track of what’s already in your bathroom. Learn your current bathroom rating, and track your progress on “cleaning” it up.

• Upvote Non-Rated Products: Let your voices be heard! Upvote, and we will aggregate user responses and reach out to brands on users’ behalf to encourage them to get their products verified and rated.

• Shopping Lists: Save products and make shopping faster and easier.

• Shop Now: Buy products directly from Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Well.ca, Sephora.com, and Amazon.co.uk.

• UPC Submission: Are we missing a product? Use your device's camera to scan its barcode and capture the list of ingredients with OCR, then submit it to us. For registered users who submit products, we thank you with a discount code to use our beauty box subscription. And will notify you once they are in our database.

I thought the idea of this app was really neat when I first installed it but it's turned out that some products I scan don't even come up. I've even taken the time to try and submit items into their system but nothing ever came of it (submitted 2 items back in November and they never even looked at them). As much as I wanted to like this app, it's not very useful if the items I use can't be scanned.

A great idea for an app...with much to be desired. I originally got this app 2 years ago because I have allergies to some ingredients and I found the lists could help me see it it is something I should avoid. Some products scan and others need to be submitted. I have submitted products from a year ago that are still not in the database. Trying this app out again today, I now find it crashes when trying to submit new products. If there are no improvements, I will have to delete it.

I signed up for the annual subscription today because it had a 2 week free trial period. I cancelled the subscription the same day today and I noticed that my credit card has already been charged for the full amount. I would like a full refund as I'm well within the free trial period. There's no way for me to contact the team to get a refund through the app so I'm leaving a review here. Please don't fall for the false advertising
