Reacting to skincare and don't know why?

It's usually a hidden ingredient — one that almost never appears under its plain name, so you keep buying it by accident across totally different products. Vaiya finds it. And unlike the influencers, it can't be paid to recommend anything.

The problem: the label is hiding it

Say you react to fragrance. You'd never guess it from the ingredient list, because "fragrance" hides under names like these:

See any of those and the product may contain fragrance — even if the front of the pack says nothing about it. See every name fragrance hides under →

It's rarely just one thing

Allergens cross-react: if fragrance gets you, essential oils and even propolis (bee glue) often do too, because they share the same molecules. That's why "random" breakouts aren't random. Pick what you react to:

How Vaiya finds what's yours

• Tell it once. Add the things you react to — fragrance, a specific allergen, a medication.
• It reads the whole label, not the front. Vaiya screens each product's full ingredient list for all the hidden names of your allergens — not just the obvious one.
• It never fakes a safe. If it can't verify a product is clear, it won't recommend it to you. Full stop.
• It's free, and it can't be bought. The allergen check is free forever, and no brand can pay to be recommended — enforced by a test in our code, not just a promise.

Educational, not medical advice. For a reaction that's severe, spreading, or won't settle, see a dermatologist — they can patch-test you properly.
