Point, match, read
The camera reads the EAN the moment it's in frame. No buttons, no typing, no sign-up wall between you and the shelf.
The product is matched and scored out of 100, with the tier colour telling you where it sits before you read a word.
Ingredients come back sorted and explained, with whatever pulled the score down sitting at the top instead of buried.
Under the score
Every result opens into the full ingredient list, named in plain language and flagged by how much attention it actually deserves.
Ingredients — shampoo, 250 ml
AQUA, SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE, COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE, GLYCERIN, PARFUM, SODIUM CHLORIDE, DIMETHICONE, CITRIC ACID, PHENOXYETHANOL, METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE, LIMONENE, LINALOOL, CI 19140.
Fair
Two flagged ingredients: a restricted preservative and a declared fragrance allergen.
Sodium laureth sulfate
Foaming cleanser. Effective, but can feel drying on a sensitive scalp.
Methylisothiazolinone
Preservative and a known contact allergen. EU rules restrict it in leave-on products.
Limonene
Fragrance compound — one of the allergens the EU requires on the label.
One number
The score weighs what's in the product against EU labelling data. Tap it and you get the reasoning, never just a verdict.
80 – 100
Nothing flagged. Clean ingredient list for its category.
60 – 79
Acceptable overall, with warnings worth checking before you buy.
40 – 59
Several flagged ingredients. Fine for most people, not for everyone.
0 – 39
Multiple restricted or high-concern ingredients. Worth a closer look.
Two aisles
Sweeteners, colours, emulsifiers, preservatives. LabelLens names each additive, says what it's doing in the product, and flags the ones carrying intake limits or common intolerances.
Every cosmetic sold in the EU lists its ingredients in Latin INCI notation. LabelLens turns that into what it is, why it's in there, and whether it's a declared fragrance allergen.
The free app gives you three barcode scans a day — enough for a normal shop. Premium lifts the limit and unlocks the full breakdown on every scan.

Questions
You'll get a prompt to add it — snap the ingredient panel and it goes into the queue. Hungarian and regional store brands are exactly where this helps most, so those submissions get processed first.
Ingredients are checked against EU labelling and restriction data, and the score reflects how many flagged entries a product carries and how serious each one is. You can always open the breakdown and see which ingredient cost what.
No. LabelLens explains what an ingredient is and what the EU rules say about it. It doesn't diagnose anything or tell you what's safe for you personally. If you're managing an allergy or a medical condition, treat the score as a starting point and check with your doctor or pharmacist.
Yes. EAN barcodes and EU ingredient labelling are the same across the single market, so European products scan fine wherever you are. Coverage is deepest for products sold in Hungary and the surrounding region.
