Hi, I’m Kelsey Jones.

I’ve had eczema for over three decades. I was sick of not being able to know what products would flare my eczema before it was too late.

As anyone with eczema or sensitive skin knows, using a reactive product can cause weeks or month-long flare reactions, including hives, red patches, or itchy rashes.

Flares a patent-pending process with existing third-party verified databases to help users build a personalized database of products they should avoid. Whereas most beauty tracking apps only track the industry-known irritating ingredients, Flares allows users to find out not only what specific ingredients irritate them and their family members, but also tracks additional related ingredients that may cause reactions.

The result is more confidence in choosing products that won’t cause eczema flares, hives, or embarrassing reactions that make you want to run and hide.

DISCLAIMER: While we can’t guarantee you are reactive or allergic to ingredients we identify, we hope this information helps you make more educated product choices! We are not responsible for ensuring you don’t have a reaction to specific ingredients.

Our Mission

Our goal for Flares is simple: how can we be our own ingredient detectives to determine what products are causing reactions and how can we prevent future reactions?

Our Expert Board

We know it’s important to get advice about your health from experienced professionals. That’s why we’ve compiled a board of experts that advise us on the product and ingredient information we’re sharing with you in Flares.
