Product Photo Mode
The Sovereign Scale reads ingredient text, not product packaging. Here's how to get the best results:
1. Flip the product over to the back or side panel. 2. Find the ingredient list (usually in small text). 3. Crop your photo tightly to just that text section. 4. Switch to 📋 Ingredient Label mode and upload that photo.
Tip: Screenshot a product page from the brand's website and upload that — often cleaner than a photo.
The Five Tiers
🌑
VOID
Non-negotiable. This ingredient does not belong in any product I would ever put on your skin. Toxic, hormone-disrupting, or flagged by every credible clean beauty standard. Hard pass.
🌒
SHADOW
Legal in the US. Lunar Luxe still says no. These are flagged by the EU, restricted in progressive markets, or have enough conflicting data that I don't trust them near your skin barrier.
🌓
SIGNAL
Context matters here. Some of these are effective and low-risk at trace amounts. Others are fine for some people, not for others. Read the label. Know the percentage. Do your research.
🌔
CLEAR
Clean, functional, accepted. These ingredients do their job without drama. Vetted, widely researched, and working with your skin rather than against it.
🌕
SOVEREIGN
The gold standard. Intentional. Biologically resonant. These are the ingredients I seek out, formulate with, and stand behind. What Selene would choose — and what we choose for you.
The Sovereign Scale™ is Selene's framework, rooted in formulation knowledge, clean beauty research, and zero tolerance for industry greenwashing.
