Clearya

Some good news for your makeup bag and bathroom shelf! 💄

Celebrating a big year for Clearya's collaboration with the California Department of Public Health's Safe Cosmetics Program (CSCP). CSCP just released their 2025 results, and here is how CSCP is making your shopping safer (with some data-driven support from Clearya Insights 😎):

📊 23,000 products reported by companies, including fragrance ingredients (50% increase from last year!)

💪 We used Clearya’s technology to help the State identify products that weren’t previously reporting their ingredients, bringing them into the light.

💡 Bit by bit, transparency is winning. By working together with brands, the State is ensuring thousands of ingredients are now properly disclosed. Some of these are also visible through Clearya so you can make more informed choices.

📢 Happening now at ISES-ISEE 2025 in Atlanta: the California Department of Public Health is presenting research co-authored with Clearya that uncovers hidden hazardous ingredient trends in personal care products.

Led by CDPH and powered by our platforms, Clearya Insights and Clearya Survey, the study highlights how chemicals of concern vary across store types, from independent shops to national retailers, and reveals disparities in exposures that call for attention.

📍 If you’re at , connect with Paula Johnson, Chief of the California Safe Cosmetics Program at CDPH, to learn more about this important work.

🎉 Big congratulations to Clearya's incredible partners at Silent Spring Institute Black Women For Wellness Occidental College and Columbia University on their important new study — now featured in NPR, The Washington Post, New York Post, and beyond! 👏

📣 The research reveals something everyone deserves to know:

More than half of Black and Latina women in the study unknowingly used personal care products containing formaldehyde-releasing preservatives — toxic chemicals linked to cancer and allergic reactions. And these weren’t niche products — we're talking about lotions, shampoos, body soaps, cosmetics, and even eyelash glue. The need for transparency and safer products couldn’t be more urgent.

🚀 We're proud that Clearya Insights played a role in this work by contributing an AI-based technology that converts label photos to clean ingredient names and screens them for chemicals of concern, which helped build the dataset.

This study is a powerful example of how technology + community-driven research can uncover hidden hazards and drive change.
