## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability dermi-znuq-onrender-com-1ba276f0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check these ingredients from my new moisturizer for comedogenic (pore-clogging) potential: cetearyl alcohol, isopropyl myristate, dimethicone, niacinamide, and shea butter?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to screen skincare or makeup product ingredients specifically for comedogenic (pore-clogging) properties, especially for users with acne-prone or oily skin. It is purpose-built for cosmetic ingredient safety lookup rather than general ingredient databases or nutrition APIs.

## Known failure modes

- Ingredient not found in database — unknown or uncommon ingredient names may return no rating
- More than 20 ingredients submitted — input array exceeds maximum allowed size
- Empty ingredients array — no ingredients provided returns an error
- Unrecognized ingredient name format — misspelled or INCI-nonstandard names may fail to match
- Payment not completed — x402 payment of $0.01 USDC required before response is returned
