Think Dirty keeps my family and I healthy and toxin free. All I have to do is scan a household item, beauty product, or cleaning product and the app rates it on a scale of 0-10 with zero being harmless and 10 being very toxic. I love this app because it takes all the guesswork out of buying health-conscious products. You will be surprised with the results!
