Shopify · AI for beauty & skincare
The AI store associate for beauty brands.
Handles shade matching, skin-type routines, ingredient Q&A, and allergen filtering. Beauty is a high-advice category — Clearly Agent acts as a virtual consultant that knows your ingredients as well as your formulators do.
Two-minute install. Free tier with full customization.
The short answer
Yes. Clearly Agent works like a virtual skincare consultant — it reads your full ingredient lists over the Shopify API, matches foundation shades by undertone and depth, builds cleanser-serum-moisturizer routines in the right order of application, and remembers a shopper’s allergies across visits so it never re-recommends a flagged ingredient. Pregnancy-safety questions route to your disclaimer. Free to install.
Beauty-specific use cases
Skin type matching
Agent reads your product attributes (skin-type tags, ingredient notes) and recommends with reasoning. Surfaces inline product cards.
Ingredient Q&A
Agent answers from your ingredient lists + brand commitments stored in the knowledge base. “Vegan?” “Reef-safe?”
Shade matching
Set up your shade chart and undertone guidance once; agent applies it to every recommendation. For complex cases, escalates to live takeover.
Routine building
Agent surfaces cleanser + serum + moisturizer with order-of-application notes. Cross-sells without feeling pushy.
Allergen & sensitivity disclosure
Agent filters from your catalog, never recommends something the customer flagged as off-limits. Memory persists across visits.
Pregnancy & nursing safety
Sensitive topic — agent explicitly does NOT give medical advice. Routes to your disclaimer + curated collection.
FAQ
- Can the agent handle foundation shade matching?
- Yes. You can upload your shade-matching logic (undertone, depth, current-brand matches) to the knowledge base. The agent asks the same questions an in-store consultant would and recommends the closest 2-3 shades with inline product cards.
- How does it handle complex ingredient questions?
- It reads the full ingredient list for every SKU over the Shopify API. You can supplement this with a knowledge base of ingredient-specific benefits or contraindications ("What does niacinamide do for my skin?").
- Can I set specific skin-type routines?
- Yes. You can define "Best for Oily Skin" or "Post-Procedure Routine" collections. When the agent detects those needs, it recommends the full set in the correct order of application.
- What about allergen safety?
- Crucial for beauty. Customer memory persists per visitor. Once a customer says "I'm allergic to lavender oil", the agent will never recommend a product containing it on that or future visits.
- Can it escalate to a real makeup artist?
- Yes. For high-value consultations or complex skin concerns, the agent can hand off to you or your team live. You can join the conversation from the merchant dashboard instantly.
- Does it work with beauty-specific themes?
- Yes. Clearly Agent is a theme app extension. It embeds seamlessly into any Shopify theme (Dawn, Sense, custom) without code changes.
