India's first independent beauty certification
Proof,not promises.
The Clean Sheet checks what beauty products claim against what they can actually prove. Built on science, not marketing.
Clean claims are easy.
Clean proof isn't.
Every brand in India says their product is “clinically proven”, “dermatologist tested”, “100% natural”, or “clean”. None of these claims are independently verified.
Until now.
The beauty industry runs on claims.
We run on proof.
25,000+ ingredients. Read, not marketed.
We pull the product's real INCI and read it against 25,000+ ingredients cross-referenced to EU, India, US & Korea, so 'fragrance-free' and 'contains actives' claims are checked against fact.
Not all natural is safe. Not all synthetic is harmful.
We cut through the marketing noise. Every claim is judged on the actual chemistry and the evidence behind it, not buzzwords like 'clean', 'green', or 'pure'.
ApprovedOne clear standing. Backed by proof.
Every reviewed product gets a public page: its Clean Sheet standing, the claims, and the evidence behind each one. Approved means the claims genuinely hold up.
Paste a link.
Get the truth.
Drop a product name or URL. The review engine finds every marketing claim the product makes, digs up the evidence behind each one, reads the real ingredient list, and hands you one clear Clean Sheet standing.
- Finds every claim, then grades it on a 1-7 evidence ladder: from 'no proof publicly visible' to published clinical studies
- Reads the actual INCI, so 'fragrance-free' and 'contains actives' claims can't lie
- Checks ASCI advertising rules and the India drug-cosmetic boundary
- Compares price and claims across Nykaa, Amazon, Flipkart & quick commerce

26 claims found. Checked against studies, the INCI, and 8 platforms:
Every claim, weighed against its proof.
We find every marketing claim, grade each on a 1-7 evidence ladder, read the real ingredient list, then hand you one clear standing.
Clean Sheet Approved
Every headline claim holds up: proven on the finished product, with clinical or lab evidence. The claims match the science.
Mostly Clean
A well-made, transparent product, but some claims lean on ingredient research rather than finished-product proof.
Needs Proof
The claims may well be honest, but the proof isn't publicly visible. Brands can submit their reports to earn a higher standing.
Misleading Claims
The product makes claims that aren't permitted in India, or that its own ingredient list contradicts.
No middle ground.
Products earn their clean claim, or they don't.
Meets The Clean Sheet standard. Safe, compliant, honest claims, and adequate manufacturing quality. Earns the badge.
Did not meet the standard. We tell brands exactly why, and exactly what needs to change. The door stays open.
Auto-fail if product contains banned substances, undisclosed allergens, or formaldehyde releasers.
