Miko Reads the Tiny Type on Your Skincare Shelf
Miko is an iPhone skincare scanner that reads ingredient labels, explains their roles, and builds a routine around compatibility, skin goals, and layering rules.
Field notes
Miko frames skincare analysis as a sequence rather than a product database: photograph the back label, parse the INCI list, identify active ingredients, and assign the product to a routine slot. Its visible examples distinguish retinol, ceramide NP, and niacinamide by their roles, while the site claims coverage of 58 actives, 163 INCI names, and 19 layering rules. The app is presented for iOS 17 or later, with shelf data and skin history stored locally and no account required.
