What else
it becomes
AlsoFoundIn investigates what's actually in the things you buy — the dose, the form, the history, and whether anyone ever really checked.
We don't tell you it's poison. We don't tell you it's fine. We hand you the file and you decide with your eyes open.

WE SHOW THE DOSE
A shared ingredient proves nothing on its own. Baking soda is in cookies and fire extinguishers. What matters is how much, in what form, and how often — so that's what we report.
WE SHOW THE UNCERTAINTY
Every file carries a certainty ledger: what's established, what's contested, and what nobody actually knows yet. We'd rather tell you we don't know than sell you a verdict we can't back.
WE SHOW OUR SOURCES
PubChem. Open Beauty Facts. Federal registers and published research. Every claim traceable back to where it came from.
The Field Instrument
The reporting is the work. The scanner is what you carry with you.
Point it at a barcode. It runs a live multi-source lookup and gives you the honest answer — including, sometimes, we don't know. Seven free scans a day.
Unlimited scans and the Body Map — $14.99/year.

Fund the Research
Every file on this board was opened by readers.
Every scan result and Case File starts with the same slow work: reading the studies, cross-checking additive databases, and following ingredients that are legal here but banned abroad. Reader support buys those hours — and every dollar goes back into opening the next file.
