About CleanGlow

CleanGlow checks the published ingredient lists of makeup, skincare and hair products against a documented watchlist, so you can see in one place which products list ingredients such as titanium dioxide, talc, BHA or restricted parabens, and which list none.

Who runs CleanGlow

CleanGlow (cleanglow.io) is owned and operated by Space Laika LLC, a US company (spacelaika.com). Contact details are on our contact page.

What we do

We currently list 4158 products from 175 brands. For each one we record the ingredient list as published by the brand on its official website (3319 products) or, where we have no brand-site list, on Open Beauty Facts (839 products), and link that source on the product page. We then match every listed ingredient against our watchlist of 10 ingredient groups, each tied to a public source (IARC Monographs or the EU Cosmetics Regulation). The result is a plain label: "No watchlist ingredients found" or flagged, with the matching ingredients named.

We do not lab-test products, and we do not claim a product is safe or unsafe. IARC classifications describe hazard, not the risk of a product used as directed. The full process is in How we review and the watchlist with sources is in our methodology.

Editorial policy

• Rules first: every product goes through the same watchlist match. No one can pay for a clean label, a better position or the removal of a flag.
• Sources shown: each product page links where its ingredient list came from; each watchlist group links its regulatory or IARC source.
• Rankings follow published rules: "best" guides only include products with no watchlist ingredients and order them by the criteria stated on each guide. There is no paid placement in rankings.
• Sponsored is labelled: brands can buy clearly labelled sponsored placements (see Advertise). They carry a "Sponsored" tag and sit outside rankings and screening results.
• Corrections: if a brand reformulates or we matched something wrong, email [email protected] with the current ingredient list or a link to it; we re-check and update the page.
• No medical advice: CleanGlow is information about labels, not medical or dermatological advice.

How we make money

Some buy buttons are affiliate links (Amazon Associates and others), and we sell labelled sponsor placements. Neither affects screening results or rankings. Details: affiliate disclosure.

Informational only, not medical advice. Ingredient lists come from brands' official websites and Open Beauty Facts (community-contributed); each product page links its source, and lists may be incomplete or out of date. "No watchlist ingredients found" means none of the ingredients on our documented watchlist appear in the listed ingredients; it is not a guarantee of safety. Always read the actual product label.
