Hope it worked for you and please let me know your thoughts about this tool 🙂
Good idea, I was thinking the same thing. Any tips on the content for the video?
Glycerine is flagged but not Glycerin – aren’t these the same thing? Also is there a link to what evidence / methodology is used by the tool to flag?
Thanks for the heads up! I will fix it in the next update.
For the database I used many reputable sources around the web and I also verified it with chatgpt to make sure. But definitely looking for feedback like yours to see if it’s correct! Thanks again
I actually did more research and I removed the entry completely for now.

I have updated the tracker to include bullet points for your ease of use. Let me know if you find another other separators that it needs to cover.

It seems like you are not flagging any fatty alcohols. I understand not everyone reacts to them, but there are more evidence now that these are problematic for many individuals (myself included) and should be flagged or warned about.
Thank you very much for the detailed feedback! I have updated the tracker to include some fatty alcohols. Let me know if there’s anything missing.
2025 Update: Updated the UI for mobile to enhance the experience and added charts for a better experience.
