Switch Natural Mobile App

After 9 years (and counting) of researching ingredients, asking questions, and testing products, I have finally created the perfect tool to help you switch to safer products. I knew there had to be a better way to share all the information I’ve learned so you can quickly and easily find better, safer products.

What It Does

The patent pending Switch Natural app will scan any product’s ingredients—no barcode necessary—and identify toxic ingredients, including a description and links to the relevant research.

The app also features a “Shop” section where you can find better alternatives by browsing my favorite non-toxic products. Search by product type, category or brand. Get access to exclusive discount codes and add items to your favorites for faster, easier shopping.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What types of products will the app scan? All beauty products, skincare, personal care products, cleaning products, and products used for babies and kids.

  2. What items will the app NOT scan? Food items and supplements.

  3. How do I scan while shopping online? Screenshot the full ingredient list from the company website. Upload your screenshot to the app using the “Camera Roll” icon.

  4. What are some tips for making sure I get an accurate scan? Crop images so that only ingredients are shown. Blurry images, images that are from a rounded bottle where the text is distorted, or images in which text is cut off or not properly cropped, may give false results.

  5. Why are all nail polishes flagged with harmful ingredients? No nail polish is 100% non-toxic as they are essentially paint. However, safer nail polish options are included in the shop.

  6. What types of products should always be avoided? I recommend against any product that comes in an aerosol can and spray sunscreens or loose powders that contain titanium dioxide.

  7. Does the app work outside of the United States? Yes, the app is available in most countries. However, it is currently only offered in the English language.

  8. Account deletion. Upon account deletion, all data is removed.

  9. Can I share the app with my family members?

    Yes. You’ll first need to ensure Purhase Sharing is enabled in your phone settings. Next, have your family member follow these steps:

    • Tap your profile in the App Store.

    • Select “Purchased”

    • Tap the Switch Natural app located (under the purchaser’s name).
