INGREDIENT CHECKER

Beachyclean

Custom ingredient analysis engine with advanced normalization logic, Google Sheets synchronization, and real-time skincare ingredient detection.

Shopify Liquid JavaScript Google Sheets Metaobjects

The Problem

Beachyclean customers wanted to check skincare products for ingredients they needed to avoid, but ingredient lists are inconsistently formatted across brands and products.

  • Ingredient lists formatted inconsistently across brands
  • Customers had no fast way to check for pore-clogging ingredients
  • Existing ingredient checkers were generic, not esthetician-verified
  • Ingredient database needed to stay easy to update

Our Solution

An ingredient analysis engine with normalization logic that reconciles inconsistent ingredient naming, synced against a maintained Google Sheets ingredient database, surfacing real-time matches and flags directly on the product page.

  • Built a normalization layer that reconciles inconsistent INCI naming
  • Esthetician-verified ingredient database synced from Google Sheets
  • Paste-and-scan ingredient checker with instant results
  • Real-time flagging with no third-party subscription

Key Highlights

  • Ingredient name normalization across inconsistent formats
  • Google Sheets-backed ingredient database, easy to update
  • Real-time detection and flagging on the product page
  • No third-party ingredient-checking subscription required
