Scanner · Coming Soon

We're working on it.

Most apps rely on data submitted to barcode databases. TIP photographs your actual label and checks every ingredient against official banned and restricted lists from five countries. And for TIP Verified brands, we go further — even the hidden ingredients like natural flavors and spices are independently lab tested.

Photograph the label
Take a photo of the ingredient list. TIP reads the actual current label — not a database.
03
Get your verdict
TIP checks every ingredient against official banned and restricted lists from the EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and Japan. In seconds.
04
See what to buy instead
When a product flags, TIP shows you cleaner alternatives — ranked by certification tier. Some shipped straight to your door.
