The What

&‍ ‍The Why

Clayr bridges the growing gap between consumer health awareness and the complexity of modern product labels. Using an actual networking database as well as an API, Clayr reads any product label, scanned in-store or searched from home, and instantly highlights concerning ingredients based on your personal health profile.

The result is a deeply personal, visually intuitive companion that empowers people to make genuinely informed decisions about everything they bring into their homes and bodies.

83% of consumers feel confused at least some of the time about ingredients on food labels, and 35% won't buy a product when they find confusing ingredients.

The Problem Space

Three compounding forces are creating a real and urgent need for ingredient transparency tools, and existing solutions only partially address them.

  • Most product labels are deliberately complex. Chemical synonyms, obscure preservatives, and industry-approved additives hide in plain sight.
    The average consumer lacks the scientific literacy to decode what they're reading and can't be expected to cross-reference every ingredient before purchase.

  • Allergy rates, autoimmune conditions, and dietary sensitivities are all increasing. For these consumers, the stakes of a "wrong" purchase go beyond preference. It's a genuine health risk. They need a tool that understands their specific conditions, not a generic warning list.

  • More people than ever care about what they put in and on their bodies but awareness doesn't automatically translate into action.

    The friction of researching ingredients in the moment is too high. Clayr removes that friction entirely, making healthy decisions the path of least resistance.

Who are we
building it for?

Allergy Sufferers

People with one or more allergies who already read every label but find it slow, stressful, and easy to get wrong when ingredients hide behind unfamiliar names.

Hidden allergen aliases are a daily risk

The Health Nuts

The "crunchy" community are the people who care deeply about clean living, natural products, and avoiding synthetic chemicals. Already vocal online and natural product advocates.

Greenwashing makes "natural" claims untrustworthy

Parents who want to protect their families,
especially young children, from harmful additives. They think long-term, not just about immediate reactions.

No single trusted source for family-safe products

Ethical Shoppers

People who want to support small, independent brands that don't load their products with cheap preservatives or artificial fillers. They want cleaner.
