Choosing safer skincare, haircare, or makeup shouldn’t feel like a chemistry exam. That’s exactly why we created Safe Choice—a science-based distinction mark inside the OnSkin app to help you quickly spot beauty products made with ingredients that pose little to no known or suspected common health risks.
If you’ve ever scanned a product and wondered, “Okay, but is this as safe as it gets?”, Safe Choice is here to answer that.
What Is OnSkin Safe Choice Exactly?
OnSkin Safe Choice is a distinction mark we assign to cosmetic formulas that score a 95 or higher on OnSkin’s safety scale (out of 100). Products with this mark are made entirely with ingredients that present no or negligible risk of common health concerns, as determined by OnSkin’s medical and scientific experts based on current, authoritative scientific research and regulatory data.
How We Decide What Makes the Cut
Every product scanned into OnSkin is evaluated using its full ingredient list, as disclosed by the manufacturer. Nothing is skipped—including ingredients responsible for function, stability, texture, color, and scent.
