We Scanned COMUNE Skincare on Yuka. Here's What We Learned.
Here's what happened when we scanned our Vita Boost Serum on the Yuka app: 100/100.
Not 99. Not 95. A perfect score.
Then we scanned our Revitalize Overnight Mask: 100/100 again.
If you're not familiar with Yuka, it's a free app that scans product barcodes and rates them based on ingredient safety. Over 60 million people use it to make informed decisions about what they put on their skin and in their bodies. The app analyzes every ingredient against scientific research, potential health risks, and regulatory data—then gives you a simple score out of 100.
Getting a perfect 100 is rare. Most "clean" products score in the 70s-80s range. Even brands that market themselves as natural or organic often have ingredients that raise red flags.
We didn't formulate our Korean skincare line to game an algorithm. We formulated it because we wanted products we'd actually use ourselves—Korean-developed formulas with proven actives, no unnecessary fillers, and complete transparency about what's inside.
But when we scanned all five COMUNE skincare products on Yuka, here's what we found:
COMUNE Vita Boost Serum and Revitalize Overnight Mask both score perfect 100/100 on Yuka

About Those Low-Risk Ingredients
Three products scored 93/100 instead of 100 because Yuka flagged one ingredient in each as "low risk." Here's exactly what that means:
AHA Exfoliant Toner – Glycereth-26 Phosphate: Multifunctional ingredient that helps the toner spread smoothly, enhances moisture retention, and improves product texture. Flagged as low-risk because ethoxylated ingredients can have trace contamination if not properly purified during manufacturing. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel deems ethoxylated glycereth compounds safe as used in cosmetics, and our Korean formulation ensures proper purification standards.
Hydra Shroom Cream – Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil (Geranium): Natural essential oil flagged because its fragrant compounds (citronellol, geraniol, linalool) can cause sensitivity in people with very sensitive skin or fragrance allergies. Used at trace concentrations (well under 1%) for anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and skin-balancing properties, contributing to the product's subtle herbal scent.
Essentials Face Cleanser – Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil: Natural essential oil flagged because eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) and limonene can potentially irritate very sensitive skin. Included for antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and purifying properties with a refreshing scent in this rinse-off formula.
"Low risk" doesn't mean harmful—it means these ingredients could cause sensitivity in a small percentage of people with specific sensitivities. All are approved for cosmetic use and deliver real benefits.

Why This Matters
Yuka is independent. They don't accept money from brands. They don't run ads. They just analyze ingredients against scientific databases and give you the facts.
When a third-party app with no financial stake in our success gives not one but two of our products perfect scores, that means something. It means the ingredient choices we made—working with our Korean formulation team, refusing to cut corners with cheap fillers, prioritizing actives over marketing buzzwords—actually hold up under scrutiny.

What's Actually In These Products
The reason these scores matter is because they reflect what we've been saying all along: our formulas are built around actives that work, not fillers that sound good in marketing copy.
Vita Boost Serum is built on 9 peptides, super berries, and hyaluronic acid—fragrance-free ingredients with actual clinical research showing anti-aging and nourishing benefits.
Revitalize Overnight Mask combines acai, goji, blue agave, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and squalane for overnight nourishment and repair.
AHA Exfoliant Toner uses 6% lactic acid and 3% glycolic acid at effective concentrations to actually resurface skin, not just add a "glow."
Hydra Shroom Cream harnesses reishi mushroom, astragalus roots, superfood complex, squalane, hyaluronic acid, and peptides for deep hydration.
Essentials Face Cleanser relies on blue agave extract and amino acid surfactants for effective cleansing that doesn't over-strip your skin.
Every ingredient serves a purpose. No proprietary blends hiding concentrations. No "parfum" masking synthetic fragrance cocktails. Just transparent formulation you can verify yourself.
Complete transparency: every ingredient listed, no hidden formulas
