Here's what you'd find if you scanned ours
If you've ever scanned a snack, a skincare product, or a bottle of shampoo with an ingredient-scoring app, you'll know the feeling.
The packaging says "clean." The score says otherwise.
It's disappointing to see a favourite product land at 30 out of 100 because of an additive or a toxin buried in the small print, especially when the marketing on the front says the opposite.
It's also why so many people are starting to ask the same question about beauty products: are they really what the label claims?
What ingredient scanning actually checks for
Apps like these read the full ingredient list on the back of a product, not the claims on the front, and score it based on things like:
-
Known irritants or toxins
-
Hormone-disrupting ingredients
-
Additives with no real benefit to the product
-
How closely the formula matches what the packaging promises
It's a useful reality check. Marketing tells you what a brand wants you to feel. The ingredient list tells you what's actually there.
So we scanned our own Hair Pudding
Here's what came back:
-
Zero sulfates
-
Zero parabens
-
Zero silicones
-
Zero hormone-disrupting ingredients
Every single ingredient in the Hair Pudding is already approved for food use in the UK. That's an intentionally high bar, because your scalp absorbs what you put on it, wash after wash, for years.
What's actually in the jar
We keep the formula simple, but every ingredient earns its place:
-
Avocado oil penetrates the hair shaft to strengthen it from within, with zero added weight.
-
Vitamin E seals the cuticle and helps protect against damage.
-
Mango butter helps block out humidity and UV damage, keeping frizz in check.
-
Rose water finishes the formula with a light, natural touch.
All ingredients that can be pronounced and don’t need to be simplified.
Why this matters for your hair
Ingredient transparency isn't just a nice-to-have, it's part of a genuinely healthy hair routine. What you apply to your scalp and lengths daily can affect how your hair looks and feels over time, the same way what you eat does.
Choosing products with a clean, traceable ingredient list means:
-
Fewer unnecessary additives sitting on your scalp
-
No hidden hormone-disrupting ingredients
-
Ingredients your hair can actually recognise and use
The Bottom Line
Next time you're scanning your crisps or your skincare, scan your haircare too.
We built the Hair Pudding to hold up to that kind of scrutiny, not just to sound good on the shelf. Go on, scan us.
