Frequently asked questions
Is this a safety or toxicity score?
No. Rituala shows common formula-family signals from the names on the label. It is not EWG-style grading, a lab assay, or medical advice.
Why don’t you show percentages?
Cosmetic labels rarely print concentrations. We use list order as a reading heuristic: earlier ingredients usually appear at higher amounts. That is not a measurement.
Can I upload a photo of the bottle?
Not in v1. Paste the text list from the label or brand site. Photo OCR may come later.
Does a silicone or sulfate flag mean I should avoid the product?
No. Flags mean those families appear in the list. Whether they fit depends on your wash habits, hair goals, and preferences—use the quiz for a routine, not a single yes/no.
How is this different from the ingredients encyclopedia?
/ingredients explains single ingredients. This tool reads a full pasted list and groups what shows up into formula families, then points you to Build my routine.
