Chemical Maze FAQ

Is Chemical Maze legit?
🤔 The Chemical Maze app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
At first, I was very excited to find this app! But then I noticed that while it does have some good information which is why I got two stars instead of one, there are a lot of ingredients that aren’t in the database. There are also some ingredients that are labeled as safe when they are not such as sunflower Lecithin. What’s worse when I emailed them to let them know, they ignored me. Not only is that a horrible customer interface and shameful but there are people eating that it’s hidden in foods and it’s contributing to inflammation an oxidation within the body and I bet people don’t know why they aren’t feeling well. Generally, speaking seed oils are not good for you in any form. Sunflower Lecithin, soy lecithin, safflower lecithin… and more…. are part of the reason America is so sick. I don’t care what the criminal agencies say about it they lie about everything else. Of course they’re going to lie about it being safe. Do your own research. And unfortunately, we can’t even trust like this.
Fantastic
I've been using Chemical Maze for years to identify chemical additives that may trigger migraines.

Good but needs updates!!
Overall this is a really good app! It is very informative and covers most additives/chemicals found in foods and cosmetics and tells you about them. There were a few I tried to look up and couldn't find. However, It's a bit pricy! I didn't realize it initially, but the app hasn't been updated since 2010!? Come on developers!!! It also hasn't been optimized for retina displays so the visual quality is poorer than most. However, the app is easy to navigate and has a nice interface. For the price though, it NEEDS some updates!!
Awful
Don't waste money on this one. Vague information. Doest actually tell you which products out there do contain ingredients.
Well researched App
Great to finally get this on my phone - I use it weekly. Thx!
Glad to see this app
Little research has gone into determining health impacts from chemistry used in consumer products. Cause and effect relationships are nearly impossible to prove in court regarding damaged health while much toxicity research is considered a trade secret. We are forced to protect ourselves and this app is a good place to start.
Update well overdue
Good info but not up to date
Please update
Please update the app
Handy while shopping
Have used the book for years, fantastic info to make informed choices for food and beauty/skincare products . I would love a search feature that finds the next best fit for the complicated ingredient you’re trying to spell correctly....!!!
