The Problem
You're allergic to nickel and fragrance mix. You buy a $60 serum — but the label says “Arachis Hypogaea Oil, Parfum, CI 77491.” Two days later: swollen eyes, wasted money, another product in the trash.
Add your known triggers once, scan any cosmetic label, and get a personalized Safe, Warning, or Avoid verdict in seconds. Then track reactions, spot patterns, and build safer routines.
Built on clinical allergen databases • Privacy-first • No data sold
From label to clear decision — watch how fast it works.
Not medical advice — AllerNote helps you use your known allergies for product selection.
Generic apps don't know your allergies. That $60 serum they rated "safe" could contain your exact triggers. AllerNote checks against you.
You're allergic to nickel and fragrance mix. You buy a $60 serum — but the label says “Arachis Hypogaea Oil, Parfum, CI 77491.” Two days later: swollen eyes, wasted money, another product in the trash.
Scan it first. AllerNote translates every chemical, checks against your personal allergy profile, and tells you: “Avoid — contains Parfum, which triggers your fragrance allergy.” In 3 seconds, before you waste the money.
Three quick steps — from label to a clear decision.

Photograph any product label from your bathroom shelf, store, or phone gallery. Or paste an INCI list.

AllerNote’s AI reads the full INCI list, translates chemical names, and flags anything that could trigger a reaction.

A clear verdict with the exact reason — so you can confidently know “yes, this is safe for you” or explain why it isn’t.
AllerNote is not just a one-time scanner. It helps you connect labels, reactions, routines, and dermatologist conversations.
Use your camera, a gallery image, or pasted INCI text to check a label against your allergy profile.
Save what happened after use so AllerNote learns from your history instead of treating every product the same.
Ingredient Detective helps surface common suspects across products that caused redness, itching, or flare-ups.
Bring your allergy profile, saved products, and reaction history into medical conversations without rebuilding the story from memory.
Resources you will love. Tools you need.
Check any product for 50+ known irritants. Works on camera or pasted INCI lists.
