COSMILE® Europe app analytics for December 8

What is the COSMILE Europe app? The COSMILE Europe app is an entry point to access information in the COSMILE Europe database, a European cosmetic ingredient database that offers reliable, verified and scientifically supported information on almost 30,000 ingredients used in cosmetics. The information in the database helps you understand why certain ingredients are in your cosmetic products, which properties they have and much more. How does COSMILE Europe work? Available in 13 languages – Bulgarian, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, and Spanish – with more to come, the app offers several ways to easily get information on cosmetic ingredients. You can search for ingredient information by scanning the ingredients list on the label of the product, search for information on an individual ingredient manually, or scan a product barcode to retrieve information about the product and its ingredients list. While this last feature is already available on the app, please note that it is not available for all products. As the app becomes established in each country, more products will become available moving forward. Other key features You will be able to keep track of the ingredients in cosmetic products that are of interest to you or to which you have an allergy confirmed by a dermatologist. To further personalise the app, you can create a list of favourite products from the cosmetics you have scanned to consult the products’ ingredients at any time. Lastly, the ‘Insights’ section also provides information on how EU law ensures that cosmetics and their ingredients are safe, what makes sunscreen work and other answers to useful frequently asked questions about cosmetics and their ingredients.
