Cosmetic Check

Scan the barcode - identify toxins. ToxFox provides instant information on over 250,000 cosmetic and personal care products. Whether it's hormone-disrupting substances, nanoparticles, or microplastics - ToxFox uncovers them for you! Simply scan the barcode on the packaging.

The Toxin Question for Everyday Products

With the Toxin Question, ToxFox identifies pollutants in everyday products such as toys, household items, hygiene products, furniture, carpets, shoes, textiles, and electronic devices. Harmful chemicals can accumulate in the body and lead to long-term illnesses like diabetes, cancer, or infertility. Use the iPhone camera to scan the barcode on the packaging. If there are already details about harmful ingredients, they will be displayed immediately. Otherwise, you can inquire directly with the manufacturer through ToxFox if the product contains pollutants. The manufacturer is legally obliged to respond within 45 days. The information goes to you and our database - where it is immediately visible to all consumers. ToxFox becomes smarter over time - along with its users. An easy question that has a double impact. Manufacturers understand: products should be free of pollutants! And contaminated products become shelf-sitters.

We thank Ackee for their support during testing.

    Oh no! The scanner isn't working on my new Xiaomi Redmi phone with Android 12.

    I really enjoyed using the app because it provided information quickly and clearly. However, the scanner is not working for me anymore.

    Alright, so it only works for cosmetics; at least now I know my deodorant is good, my shampoo isn't, and my skin cream is unknown. Well, not much but still something, and hopefully there will be more in the future.

    Ok, adding something to the database is easy. Just follow these steps: First, log in to the system. Then, go to the database section. Look for the option to add a new entry. Click on it and fill out the required information. Finally, save your changes. And that's it!

    This app is really good. We should have one for harmful chemicals too, not just hormones.
