Find Out if Your Makeup or Skincare is Still Safe to Use
No more guessing, sniff-testing, or risky swatches. Glou's Beauty Product Toss or Keep Checker and Product Freshness Calculator help you check how long they last after opening, and whether they're still good—all in seconds.
We've all done it—reached for that serum or lipstick that's been sitting in a drawer for... who knows how long. But when it comes to beauty, freshness matters. Expired formulas lose potency and can grown bacteria that irritate your skin or eyes.
That's where our Expiration Calculator and freshness Shelf-Smart Checker come in. Whether you're decluttering, rehoming, or just making sure your stash is safe, Glou helps you make smarter, cleaner, and more conscious beauty choices.
How It Works - Toss or Keep Checker
-
We ask what really matters. Not all beauty products expire the same way. Our quiz guides you through the important factors.
-
We translate your answers into freshness insights — from ✅ Safe to Use to 🚫Time to Toss.
-
You get a freshness score (and peace of mind). Your result appears as a simple Color-coded score — green means good-to-go, red means time to part ways.
-
It's based on data, not fear. We built this with transparency in mind — no scare tactics, just grounded insights from years of analyzing beauty resale, product shelf life, and real-world use patterns.
Disclaimer: These are general suggestions only. Always follow the manufacturer's directions and your own best judgement.
