100/100 sur Yuka, qu’est-ce que ça veut dire ?

100/100 on Yuka, what does that mean?

Today, there are hundreds of organic, ethical and natural brands, better or as well as each other, and the choice is not obvious. Above all, when you do not understand the compositions of the products.

So, as for food, we compare thanks to the comparative application, which deciphers, analyzes the ingredients and classifies the products.
Melāhuac is 100/100 on Yuka. But concretely, among the applications, which to test our cosmetic products, to decipher their composition and know if they are not dangerous, but good and natural? And apart from Yuka, what other applications exist to compare cosmetics?

Yuka, fast and efficient: the favorite of the French

And, the most exhaustive. Yuka reveals the hidden side of 1.5 million food products and 500,000 cosmetic products.
How ? The rating is based on the analysis of all the ingredients, which previously received a level of risk according to their potential/proven health effects (ranging from the endocrine disruptor, to the carcinogenic, allergen or even irritating effect ).

🙂 The result of the scan is easy to read: a color code from red to green and a note of 0 to 100 attributed to your products (with a score of 100/100, Melāhuac therefore obtained the best note) 🥳. Also, you will easily find the results of your products, thanks to the history of scanned products.
Our favorite function: recommendations (products similar to scanned, best for health).

🙁 What is a shame: Yuka does not take into account the quantity of each ingredient in a formula. Thus, the scoring of a product can quickly plug without it being justified. And, the impact of products on the environment is not at all taken into account ...

Inci Beauty, complete and relevant: our favorite

Specialized in cosmetics and independent, this application classifies "good" products at "at risk/controversial" and attributes a note out of 20. Each scan gives access to the list of product components and a sheet detailing the ingredients (developed Using the Clermont-Ferrand, Sigma) chemistry school.

🙂 The top of the top: you can look for a product in the search bar without having to scan it. And even better: the assigned score is based on the concentration of ingredients in the product!

🙁 Unfortunately, the free version does not offer alternatives, and the database is less extensive than its competitors. So, if you are looking for a product that is still little known, such as Melāhuac products, you will not find them. 🙁

Clean Beauty, educational and informative: the expert

With it, you will scan the list of INCI ingredients (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients - The name of the classification of cosmetic ingredients) of your product. And, you will get a list of controversial ingredients, with an explanation.

🙁 Too bad: there is no score or color code, no positioning on the benefits and risks of a product. This application requires time to carry out research and understand the subject.

🙂 This is also what makes the application educational, because we better understand the aim of each ingredient (for the most curious, the application has made a complete glossary of the ingredients), and we spot those which can be harmful.


Other applications: Whichcosmetic (🙂You can customize your profile with criteria (toddlers, pregnant women, children, etc., or even allergens) and find the best product for you), Mireille (the application does not penalize natural allergens in its evaluation + The environmental impact of ingredients and packaging is taken into account in the calculation + functionality which allows the compositions of the products to be translated! 🙁Unfortunately, this great application is paying), Cosmetics, Composcan, or Pharmapocket.

Our favorite?

Well you already know, we really failed to keep the suspense ... It's just Inci Beauty! Indeed, this application is a mix of the best features of Yuka and Clean Beauty, and will be able to guide you responsible and in an educational manner to the Best.

Afterwards, we strongly think that the best thing is to compare the product results that we want to buy on different applications. So yes, the result will be more mixed, but also more complete! And, you can then make a full choice.

And too! At Melāhuac, we make a point of honor on transparency. The more a brand proudly displays its place, production, the composition of its products, etc., the more ethical it is and you will know whether its products are natural or not.
