What Lychee Explains
Ingredient role matters as much as ingredient name.
A cosmetic ingredient may be a preservative, solvent, fragrance component, colorant, surfactant, film former, exfoliating acid, UV filter, humectant, emollient, or pH adjuster. Lychee helps translate those roles into plain language.
The app can also surface common concern categories, including allergens and irritants. That does not mean every flagged product is dangerous; it means the ingredient deserves context for some users.
Why Caveats Matter
Cosmetic labels rarely show concentration or exposure.
Cosmetic ingredient risk can change based on whether a product is leave-on or rinse-off, where it is applied, how often it is used, whether skin is broken or inflamed, and how much of an ingredient is present.
Terms like fragrance or parfum may not disclose every fragrance component on a US label. That makes the physical label and manufacturer information especially important for people with known sensitivities.
