Think Dirty – Shop Clean

authentic rating

People loved Think Dirty for years for letting them scan a barcode in-store and find clean beauty products, and many cleared out their bathroom on its advice. The main pain now is that name search got locked behind a subscription when it used to be free, and many feel misled. On top of that the database is thin: it doesn't find half the products in a store, and buy links point to Amazon.

About the rating

Lots of detailed stories: people cleared their bathroom of toxic beauty products, scan at Ulta, complain about the specific times paying unlocked nothing. The gap between textAvg 3.78 and storeAvg 4.81 is large, but it's not fakery, it's old love holding up the store score while fresh reviews are angry over the move to paid search.
