How Clarra approaches the same job

- Clarra adds the ingredient-flag layer with cited regulatory sources for people who want that too.

Built for the aisle, not the lab
Clarra is made for the real moment you're deciding: standing in a shop or scrolling a store page, wanting a quick, honest read before you buy. Scan or search a product and you get the plain-English picture in seconds — the ingredient flags that matter, the cruelty-free status, the vegan status — without a chemistry degree or a wall of alarming colour.
What Clarra reads on every product
- Ingredient flags — how named regulators (EU CosIng, IARC, Prop 65, CIR, ECHA) classify or restrict what's inside, with hazard kept separate from risk.
- Cruelty-free status — shown with positive framing: what a brand states or is certified for, never an accusation.
- Vegan status — flagging animal-derived ingredients like carmine, beeswax and lanolin, and honest about ambiguous-source ones.
