Source Light brings ethical product insight directly into your Amazon shopping experience. When you open a supported Amazon product page, the extension activates automatically and displays a dedicated toolbar at the top of the page with ethical scoring information for the item you are viewing. Its goal is to help you assess products using more than price, brand recognition, or customer ratings alone. By placing ethical analysis directly on the product page, Source Light makes it easier to consider broader product impacts without leaving Amazon to research them separately.

The extension is designed specifically for supported Amazon product detail pages and common Amazon product URL formats. It reads core product information from the page, including the ASIN, product title, brand, and top-level category. That product-related information is then passed through the extension’s background service to the Source Light backend so the relevant analysis can be retrieved. Once the results are available, the toolbar updates to show ethical scores in a clear, structured layout that is easy to scan while browsing.

Source Light presents ratings across six ethical dimensions: Human Rights, Health, Eco-Impact, Animal Welfare, Local Sourcing, and Local Production. Each dimension is displayed with a label, a numeric score, and a visual style that reflects score quality. Higher scores are shown as stronger results, mid-range scores as moderate, and lower scores as weaker, making it easier to compare categories at a glance. The interface also uses category icons to improve clarity and help users quickly connect each dimension to the type of ethical consideration being measured.

The experience is built to feel informative without becoming disruptive. While analysis is in progress, the toolbar shows a loading state with a spinner and a clear message indicating that ethical dimensions are being analyzed. If the service cannot retrieve results, the extension switches to an error state so you know the scores could not be loaded. When data is available, Source Light does more than show a simple score. It can also present detailed explanations for each dimension in readable bullet points, along with listed source names where available. This helps provide context behind the ratings rather than only presenting summary numbers.

The toolbar is polished and practical, with branded elements, a tagline, and a close button so you can hide it whenever you want. It appears with a smooth transition and adjusts the page layout to make room, helping the integration feel natural within the browsing experience. The extension also handles incomplete results gracefully by showing only the dimensions for which data is available instead of filling the interface with empty sections.

Overall, Source Light is intended for shoppers who want more context at the moment of purchase. By surfacing ethical insights directly on Amazon product pages, it supports more informed decisions around sustainability, health-related considerations, sourcing practices, labor concerns, and similar factors.
