Truva, the pregnancy-aware beauty-product scanner
A phone-based tool that scans beauty-product barcodes and judges ingredients against a user’s pregnancy, postpartum, skin, and strictness settings.
Field notes
The service combines barcode recognition with a personal ruleset covering life stage, trimester, skin concerns, and evidence strictness. Its examples show ingredient-level explanations rather than a single opaque score, including thresholds such as topical salicylic acid below 2%. The site also describes shareable web verdicts and a shelf that updates when a user’s stage changes, while the actual scanning workflow appears to live in the iPhone app.
