About LabelPeek

LabelPeek publishes the ingredient reference behind the LabelPeek app. Everything a checker on this site can flag is printed on the same page as the checker, with a version date, so any result can be verified by reading rather than by trusting.

What we claim, and what we refuse to claim

There are three kinds of statement on this site and they are kept apart on purpose. Amembership claim says an ingredient appears on a named list at a named version — it is checkable against the list printed below the tool. Aprocessing claim says a substance marks industrial production because it does not occur in a domestic kitchen; that is a statement about manufacturing. Aregulatory claim says a named authority has acted, and it always carries the document — 25 entries in the additive reference have one.

What is absent is a health verdict. We do not say an ingredient is harmful, safe, or responsible for a condition. Those questions belong to clinicians and regulators, and a static page that answered them would be pretending to an authority it does not have. We also publish no verdict about any named brand's product: the checkers read only text you paste in yourself, and the result is generated in your browser and never stored — theprivacy page explains why that is an architectural fact rather than a promise.

Where the lists come from

The comedogenic reference currently holds 88 entries at version2026-08-10, consolidated from published comedogenicity lists. No regulator issues such a list, published lists disagree with each other, and we say so on every page that uses one rather than burying it.

The additive reference is hand-written from documents that are free to reuse: US federal regulations through the eCFR and FDA, which are public domain, and EU legislation, which is reusable under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU. It is deliberately not a mirror of a crowd-sourced database — that would create licence obligations and import coverage gaps we could not audit.

Corrections

If an entry is wrong, the useful report names the ingredient, the list, and what the correct value should be — ideally with the document it comes from. Regulatory positions in this area move quickly, and the additive set was last checked against primary sources on 10 August 2026.
