Love it! Normally it would be too complicated to detect on our own microplastics on product ingredients. Also, I love the information you included and the brand list with plastic free products... very insightful 😊 maybe one day you could improve it by switching the scanner of barcode with the ingredients (some apps for diets and nutrition do it already, Lazio for example)!
★★★★★
This app is amazing at what it does! Absolutely useful for detecting microplastics. It almost always correctly scan the ingredients and identify the microplastics. A must-have for everyone in the skincare community!
★★★★★
Can't see the products already uploaded in the database by me or anyone else. Doesn't let you search the name too just the ingredients But great one to tell you which product has microplastics and which doesn't!
★★☆☆☆
Wanted to scan the UPC code. Instead, it scanned the ingredients, like they ever listed them.
★★☆☆☆
I very much like the concept of the app, but it is not reliable. I scanned a screenshot of an ingredient list retrieved from a manufacturers' website, clearly stating ingredients such as acrylic copolymer, polyester polymer etc. which are listed as microplastics on the btmb website, but the app told me everything was fine. It did detect pvp in another product though.
★★☆☆☆
The only message I get is whoops something went wrong
