Why it exists
Social shopping compresses discovery, aspiration and checkout into a few seconds. We wanted a playful pause button that did not require an account, collect a personal wellness profile or pretend every buying decision needs a medical verdict.
What it is
It is a label-literacy tool. Camera frames are decoded on the device. Community barcode records can prefill the label. A public rules library creates a transparency score, and saved receipts remain in your browser.
What it is not
It is not a regulator, laboratory, clinician, diagnostic tool or product-testing programme. It cannot establish product safety or efficacy. When a decision has medical consequences, use qualified professional advice.
Editorial principles
- Show the method and direct sources.
- Distinguish missing data from negative evidence.
- Label commercial relationships where people can see them.
- Never allow commission or advertising to alter a score.
- Correct material errors transparently.
