OnSkin - Skincare Scanner

OnSkin, developed by AIBY Inc., functions as a personal care ingredient analysis utility. Designed to help consumers decode complex cosmetic formulations, the application converts technical International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient (INCI) listings into safety and compatibility metrics. Utilizing barcode scanning, label optical character recognition (OCR), or manual text search, OnSkin evaluates scanned cosmetics against toxicological data and skin-compatibility matrices.

OnSkin differentiates itself by incorporating personalization into its analysis. Rather than relying solely on universal safety ratings, the application combines an AI facial diagnostic scanner with user profile questionnaires to evaluate skin types, age categories, sensitivity factors, and dermatological concerns. When a product—such as a moisturizer, foundation, or sunscreen—is scanned, the system cross-references its ingredients against the user's specific skin profile. Ingredients linked to comedogenicity, contact allergies, or barrier disruption are flagged with color-coded safety indicators. The application also extends this analytical approach to hair care products, evaluating formulations for scalp irritants, sulfates, and silicone buildup.

To maintain database coverage across evolving product lines, OnSkin includes a crowdsourced submission workflow. If a user scans an unindexed product barcode, the application captures images of the packaging ingredient list, processes the text via its OCR pipeline, and generates an automated breakdown. This feature is accompanied by a recommendation system that suggests cleaner, skin-compatible alternative products whenever a scanned item contains high-risk ingredients.
