ShakeUp · Ingredient Rating Engine
For every Shake follower —
read what’s really inside.
Type or paste a product’s ingredient list, add its certifications, and ShakeUp scores it across four pillars using an evidence-tiered standard. So a follower on the shelf can choose between products with clarity, not guesswork.

What are we comparing today?
A follower can either type or paste the ingredients, or start typing an ingredient below and pick from the suggestions.
Start typing — no need to spell the long names. Pick from the list and it will be added.
Separate with commas, semicolons or new lines. Ingredient order usually reflects concentration — earliest = most.
Optional — dose is captured for the record; it’s not scored yet, but it will feed future safety-threshold checks in the ShakeUp app.
Only third-party audited certifications Shake recognises are listed here — weighted by the trust levels in our Label Decoder. Tick every one this product actually carries.

Score what you use
Send us the product you use and we will score it on the same four pillars as everything else on Shake, from what the brand publishes. It is free, and it goes on the site with its score and the working beside it.

The fourth pillar
On Frequency
In the ShakeUp score, Frequency measures how minimal, whole and intentional a formulation is — the fewer synthetic additions, the higher it scores. But in the wider Shake worldview, Frequency also carries a deeper meaning worth remembering.
The evidence for sound & vibration
Sound and vibration are among the oldest healing tools we have. Modern science is only beginning to catch up to what our ancestors already knew.

Independent Cochrane reviews — the gold standard for medical evidence — have found that music-based interventions genuinely reduce anxiety, ease pain, and support emotional wellbeing, including in people living with cancer and depression.
Why linen sits highest for the body
Linen has been worn against the human body for over 6,000 years. Longevity like that is its own kind of evidence.

Wellness folklore assigns Hz values to fabrics; Shake rates highest for a simpler, evidence-backed reason: it’s naturally antibacterial, moisture-wicking, hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating, and it uses a fraction of the water and pesticides cotton does.
Whole-food vs synthetic
Frequency rewards the whole, and the well-made form. Never blanket-shames the synthetic.

The whole-food matrix — the fibre, cofactors and phytonutrients that ride along with a nutrient in nature — is the real advantage. Some forms genuinely differ (natural vitamin E is better absorbed than synthetic), while others are chemically identical.
Homeopathy & the wider landscape
Frequency the pillar is what the science can measure. Frequency the way of living is what a follower knows.

Shake respects the many traditions of healing that speak to vibration — homeopathy, sound therapy, singing bowls, breathwork. We hold space for these without staking the ShakeUp standard on evidence that is still emerging or contested.
“Every one of us carries a sixth sense the modern world has taught us to hush. The pause before a purchase. The quiet no in the body. ShakeUp hands you the evidence — you bring the knowing.”
Awareness · Intuition · ChoiceShakeUp scores by evidence tier, exposure route, who’s using a product, and how often — never by fear.
People & Gaia are ingredient-driven; Animals reflects sourcing and aquatic harm; Frequency reflects how minimal and natural the formulation is. Certifications add to the score — but no cert can lift a product carrying a concern above “Worth a Pause.” This is guidance for conscious choices, not medical advice.
Awareness over overwhelm · Clarity over confusion · Conscious choices over blind consumption
Words on this page
We would rather explain a word than avoid it. Tap any dotted word above, or read them here.
- Tier 1
- Our strongest level of evidence — harm that is well established, usually already banned or restricted in the EU. We require two independent authoritative sources before anything is placed here.
- Cruelty-free
- A claim that a product was not tested on animals. On its own the phrase is unregulated; Leaping Bunny is the certification that checks it.
- INCI
- International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients — the standardised scientific naming system for cosmetic ingredients, required on EU product labels.
- Linen
- The fabric woven from flax fibres, and one of the oldest textiles there is.
