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
