When Three Ingredient Lists Don’t Match: Meet SmarterX’s New Ingredient Blender

You’ve seen it before:
A brand hands you an SDS. Then a California disclosure. Then a product label.
You compare the ingredient lists—and none of them match. One says "Butylated Hydroxyanisole," another says "BHA." One has concentrations. One doesn’t. And one throws in an ingredient you’ve never even seen before.

So how are you supposed to figure out what’s actually in the product?

The Problem: Disjointed Disclosures, Disconnected Decisions

Retailers, regulators, and brands all rely on accurate ingredient data to make decisions—about compliance, safety, and sustainability. But the raw truth? Most products have multiple disclosures floating around, and they rarely tell the same story.

If you’re trying to track PFAS, screen for Prop 65, or check for restricted substances, this patchwork makes it nearly impossible. You’re stuck reconciling different formats, names, and chemical data by hand. That’s hours of work just to get a baseline.

The Solution: Ingredient Blending from SmarterX

We built a lightweight tool to fix this.

Ingredient Blending is a single-page interface that lets you input whatever you’ve got—free-form ingredient lists, SDS PDFs, California disclosures—and walks you through how those sources get parsed, cleaned, and fused into one consistent “formulation snapshot.”

No mystery. No magic. Just traceable ingredient data you can use.

How It Works

1. Paste and Upload
You can enter a plain-text list (like from the back of a bottle) and add one or more PDF URLs. Then hit Blend Ingredients.

2. Watch the Process
A real-time log shows exactly what’s happening as the tool parses each input and starts merging them—line by line, timestamp by timestamp.

3. See the Full Story
When it’s done, you’ll see three sections:

• Your Inputs – The original lists and links you submitted.
  
  
• Individual Parses – Each input broken down into structured data, like ingredients, CAS numbers, and any metadata.
  
  
• Blended Formula – A unified table showing ingredients, CAS numbers, estimated min/max percentages, and their functional roles.

You can even download the result as a CSV.

What Sets It Apart

• No Black Box – You can see every step, from raw input to final output.
  
  
• No Proprietary Guesswork – Our estimates for concentrations come from your data, not from a private database.
  
  
• No More Double Work – Whether you have one list or three, you’ll get a clean, coherent formula that actually makes sense.
  
  

Try It (While It’s Still in Alpha)

We’re releasing Ingredient Blending as an Alpha tool—meaning it’s early, evolving, and open for feedback. If you’ve ever struggled with inconsistent disclosures, give it a spin.

Because when your compliance depends on the ingredients, you shouldn’t need a chemistry degree to sort them out.
