"Yuka has completely changed the way I shop for my family. I used to spend forever squinting at tiny ingredient lists I couldn't even pronounce. Now, I just scan the barcode and get an instant, easy-to-understand health score. It has helped me swap out several 'toxic' snacks for much healthier alternatives that my kids actually love. It feels like having a nutritionist in my pocket at the grocery store!"

"As someone who is very careful about my skincare routine, Yuka is an absolute game-changer. I was shocked to find that some of my most expensive 'clean' cosmetics actually contained endocrine disruptors. I love that the app is 100% independent and doesn't take money from brands, so I know I can finally trust the ratings. It is the only app I use every single time I go shopping."
