As with food, people are becoming more mindful of the ingredients in their beauty products. With a database of half a million items, the Think Dirty app ranks makeup and skincare products on a scale from 0 (does not contain any of what they call "potentially toxic" ingredients ) to 10 (the opposite). It's so easy — scan a bar code with your phone, and watch as the app reveals a product’s ranking, ingredients and popularity among Think Dirty users. Plus, it suggests great all-natural alternatives.
