Read the full description
CosmeticLens reads any cosmetic ingredient list (INCI) with your camera and on-device AI vision, no barcode or product database needed. Ingredients appear one by one with a risk level and their position in the list, and anything that matches your sensitivity profile (skin type, life stage, 12 avoidance categories like fragrance, parabens or retinol) is flagged as you scan. Works on imported, sample-size and niche products too. Informational, not medical advice.

Partial The camera-OCR and per-ingredient UI are vibe-codeable with existing on-device vision models, but the risk ratings and sensitivity logic depend on a curated, accurate ingredient safety dataset that vibe coding cannot produce.
What it would actually take: Build a mobile app with on-device OCR or a vision model, then parse INCI names and match them against a normalized ingredient database. The hard part is sourcing and maintaining accurate, regulation-aware risk data (EU/US cosmetic regulations, CosIng, literature), which needs a cosmetic chemist or toxicologist to validate. Localized names and synonym handling also take real domain work.
