COSMILE

What ingredients are in my skin care lotion, shower gel, or face cream? What is the purpose of these ingredients? Which substances do I prefer, which do I want/should I avoid?

The COSMILE app is a neutral and independent shopping aid for cosmetic products. Based on a continuously updated database of nearly 30,000 ingredients (according to INCI - International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients), the actual composition of products can be digitally displayed "Know what's in it".

The COSMILE app is highly dynamic - it is constantly being expanded to include products and the respective INCI information, making it a reliable shopping aid. The products are not rated; this remains the decision-making scope of the responsible and well-informed consumer.

With the COSMILE app, you can configure your personal INCI filter and then match it with products. Simply scan the barcode on the packaging. If a product is not yet in our database, you can capture the INCI information on the package with your camera: The COSMILE app reads the ingredients using text recognition. Alternatively, you can also enter an ingredient directly into the search mask.

The COSMILE app informs you in German and English
