About Norethia

Check compatibility, understand why, and keep your routine organised.

Informed by ongoing cosmetic science study and a careful, ingredient-led approach.

How it works

1

Add products

Build your routine with at least two products from search or custom entries.

Use complete product names for better matching and fewer misses.

2

Paste ingredients

Paste the full ingredient list to give the check more context.

This is especially useful when a product is not already listed.

3

Run the check

Norethia looks for known layering conflicts based on ingredients and any modes you switch on.

Results stay consistent, with clear, considered explanations.

4

Apply guidance

Read verdict, reasons, and suggested timing/frequency changes for the routine.

Use clinician guidance for medical concerns or when using prescription treatments.

FAQ

Is this medical advice?

No. For educational use only. Not medical advice. Always patch test before using new products.

Does Norethia diagnose skin conditions?

No. It highlights combination patterns only and does not diagnose or treat conditions.

Does it store my ingredient lists?

If you choose to save products, routines, or checks while signed in, that information can be stored to sync across app and web. See the Privacy Policy for details.

What does reactive-skin caution change?

It increases caution where stacked strong actives may raise irritation risk.

What if a product is missing from search?

Paste the full ingredient list and Norethia will review it directly.

Where do shared search results come from?

Open Beauty Facts data is kept separate from Norethia-reviewed product submissions. Some product data is sourced from Open Beauty Facts (openbeautyfacts.org), contributed by the Open Beauty Facts community under the Open Database License (ODbL).

What is the difference between CAUTION and AVOID?

CAUTION usually means adjust timing/frequency; AVOID is reserved for higher-risk contexts in common guidance.

Should I still patch test?

Yes. Always patch test new products and check the packaging, formulas can change, and a compatibility check is not a guarantee of safety for your skin.
