Random iPhone App of the week: An iPhone app wants you to “Think Dirty” and take a closer look at the health and beauty products used by both men and women. The app informs consumers of the potentially toxic ingredients found in cosmetics and personal care products. Users can scan a product’s barcode, to be read by the app’s dirty meter, to determine whether the product is dirty or clean. If the product is "dirty," the app will recommend a similar one with cleaner ingredients. Currently, more than 13,000 cosmetics and personal care products from Canada and the U.S. are in the database. If a product is not in the database, a user can submit it by entering its name and taking a picture of its back label. The user will then be notified once the product is listed in the database. The app is available for free in the App Store.
