Detect and Avoid Products that damage our Planet
The consumer products we use everyday and the processed foods and wholefoods grown by conventional agriculture have a profound negative impact on our Planet: Killing aquatic life, damaging our ozone layer or destroying rainforests for example. Tera detects them and recommends better alternatives.


Why Tera?
Consumers and the Planet Need Protection from Toxic Chemicals

The average person is exposed to over 100 chemicals daily. The EU has banned 1,328 chemicals in cosmetics vs. 12 in the US. We are not protected.
Chemical exposure has been linked to rising rates of cancer, asthma, autism, ADHD, reproductive problems and other health issues, not to mention the impact on our environment, rivers & oceans, and the ozone layer.
According to the EPA, less than 1% of the 80,000 chemicals used in consumer products in the U.S. have been rigorously tested for human and environmental safety.


Solution: Tera has analyzed and scored 200K+ household cleaning, personal care and cosmetics products sold in the US at the ingredient level based on international chemical safety standards in collaboration with health and environmental toxicologists. New products are analyzed and scored everyday and added to our database.

Allergies triggered by consumer products are on the rise

85 million or 25% of Americans now need to avoid allergens in the food they buy.
The number of American children who experience food allergies has been growing about four times faster than the population has for at least 20 years.
It is very hard to know from a product label alone what allergens are present in a product.


Solution: Tera is detecting the presence of allergens in products and empowers users to avoid products with the allergens they are sensitive to.

Processed food is killing us
60% of calories for adult Americans come from processed foods; and 66% for children!
They are full of sugar, starch, toxic additives, allergens, chemicals that make them addictive, and are nutritionally very poor
They are causing chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes, Heart Disease, Obesity and Cancer


Solution: Tera is detecting toxic additives, allergens, poor nutrients and foods that cause chronic disease and recommends healthier alternatives
