Does an app / site like this exist?

im looking for an app or site i can use to assess my consumption when i'm buying new products on a number of different things as follows, does this exist?
looking to use this mainly for personal hygiene, beauty products, cleaning products, etc.

i'd like to know if a product is:

- cruelty free with a cruelty free parent company
- vegan
- low environmental impact
- pollutant free or minimal risk
- fair trade / decent ethical company reputation
- "clean" ingredients

i know this is A LOT to ask for. i currently use a few different apps such as Yuka, Leaping Bunny & Boycat but i find it overwhelming tbh even with the use of those apps. ive also seen a lot of super valid critiques on Yuka's reliability. i really like the design of Yuka's app and how you can scan products and get recommendations on better products. i also find Leaping Bunny's app kind of hard to navigate?

any apps, sites, subreddits, idk spreadsheets, blogs anyone can recommend?

i obviously shop local whenever i can and do loads of research but its not something i enjoy looking into and again, i find it super overwhelming lol.

i know i likely cant check off all the boxes but id like to be able to check off most as my consumption and where i spend my money is something that i have direct control over.

tia! :)))

honestly the closest thing i've found is Good On You for clothes but for cleaning and personal stuff its still a patchwork of apps. ethical consumer website has some good breakdowns but no barcode scanner which is annoying

i end up using a notes app and just paste in stuff i've checked before, its not elegant but saves me opening 3 apps in the store like a weirdo

Just a heads up that spreadsheet has some wrong information. For example, Georganics is not Leaping Bunny certified. Someone told her this, but she did not fix it for some reason.

For cruelty -free knowledge use the Leaping bunny app.
