Hey guys,
I wanted to share something that's made a big difference in my shopping habits lately - it's called Yuka, and it's honestly been a game-changer when it comes to knowing what's in the products I buy.
Yuka is a free app that lets you scan food and cosmetic product barcodes, and it instantly tells you how healthy (or harmful) the product is. It gives each item a score out of 100, explains why it scored that way, and even suggests better alternatives if the product you're scanning is poor quality.
What I really like is that it's independent -they don’t take money from brands, which means the ratings are based purely on ingredients and nutrition, not advertising or sponsorship.
I’ve found it especially useful when I’m trying to cut out processed stuff, avoid dodgy additives, or just be more conscious of what I’m putting in and on my body. Even things I thought were healthy turned out to be packed with additives or too much salt - it’s been eye-opening.
If you're on a self-improvement journey, this app really helps with mindful shopping - especially when you're in the middle of making changes to your diet or skin routine and don’t want to be tricked by marketing.
Anyone else using Yuka? How are you finding it? Drop your favourite discoveries or alternative suggestions below!
Stay inspired,
David 🌱
