How it works
Understand what's in your skincare.
Avessia helps you make safer, informed decisions by scanning ingredients, identifying potential concerns, and providing evidence-based guidance.
Match 23,000+ ingredients
Extracted text is matched against our personal care ingredient database and linked to hazard and evidence records.
Personalised assessment
Your concern settings shape a practical product rating — Better Choice, Discretion Advised, or Avoid — with supporting detail.
Why labels, not barcodes
The label is the source of truth.
Product databases can be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. Avessia reads the ingredients panel directly from the product in your hand, so the assessment starts from the actual formulation.
97.5%
more accurate ingredient listings in our side-by-side comparisons against other ingredient apps.
Read why labels matter
From photo to insight
A calmer way to read a label.
Five measured steps take you from a photo of the pack to a personalised product assessment.

From image to text
Convert with OCR
State-of-the-art optical character recognition converts the photographed label into machine-readable text — including curved and densely printed labels.
