About Us

You’ve probably found yourself in this situation before… You’re browsing the cosmetics aisles in your local shop or looking online, trying to pick the right thing for better skin, healthier hair, or another of your beauty needs. 

You find a product with gorgeous packaging; the label shouts words like “Smooth Skin!” and “Natural Glow.” Everything seems promising. 

That is until you turn the bottle around and you’re confronted with long, complicated-sounding ingredients like Dimethicone, Hyaluronic Acid, and Cyclopentasiloxane. So, you’re left scratching your head, wondering what in the world those words mean.

Better yet, wondering if those ingredients are beneficial for the health of your skin, nails, or hair. 

At the beginning of 2021, we started Element Scout to answer all those burning questions!

Here at Element Scout, our mission is to help beauty enthusiasts like you to find the best products to meet their beauty needs. We create insightful, informational content on cosmetic ingredients and offer in-depth reviews on our favorite products. 

We are here to help you understand what goes into the products manufactured for hair, skin, and nails. We want to help you figure out the best products and ingredients for you.
