Check any label
Works for any product anywhere: the ingredient list is the input. No account needed.
Three ways in
Scan a barcode
3,160 product records today, most of them sold in the United States and Canada. Europe is being built; a scan that finds nothing offers the label instead.
Search
By product, brand or ingredient. Every finding names its source.
The ingredients. The sources. The gaps.
What a result looks like
13 ingredients declared · 12 assessed · 1 still need an assessment
Example: a typical body-lotion label, screened with the method the app uses. Product conditions and market compliance are unverified.
The score is not a safety label and not a sustainability label. It counts indexed findings. It does not say a product is safe, healthy, or environmentally preferable. Layr does not diagnose and does not give personal health advice. Missing evidence is not proof that something is safe.
At what you use, eat, and wear.

Where the findings come from
25 public authorities are indexed. A finding is a record — the authority, the jurisdiction, the date it was retrieved — never an opinion. Components that could not be matched are counted and shown, not treated as safe.

Who runs this
Layr is operated by HolyFat UG (haftungsbeschränkt), which also sells skincare. Its products are scored like any other and are left out of the comparisons that judge other products. The rule is published in the terms.
