Ingredient traceability for indie cosmetics brands in the EU
You know where your ingredients come from. Nobody ever sent you the document.
We read your supplier documents, ask your suppliers for what is missing, and print each ingredient next to the document that proves it.
1 ingredient free. No account until a supplier has to be written to.
- 31days
- Until generic environmental claims and self-made labels need substantiation, under the Empowering Consumers Directive (EU 2024/825).[1]

- 125days
- Until palm, cocoa and soy derivatives need plot-level due diligence, under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EU 2023/1115).[2]

One line in one document. That is what proof looks like.
Butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter
Country of origin: Ghana
Source: certificate of analysis, page 1, line 7.
Verbatim: “COUNTRY OF ORIGIN : GHANA”
Region, district or cooperative. The document names a country. EUDR asks for the plot.
Supplier Request: which district and cooperative supplied lot SB240327?
Every fact in a Product File looks like the row above: the document, the page, the line. Anything we cannot show that way is printed as a Gap, in your file, where you can see it.
The origin is three companies away, and none of them wrote it down.
- 01
What arrives with an ingredient
An INCI name, a spec sheet, and sometimes a certificate nobody reads.
- 02
Who actually knows the origin
Your distributor bought from a trader, who bought from a processor. Three tiers, no answers.
- 03
Where the evidence lives today
A folder, a spreadsheet, and your own inbox. None of it can be handed to a retailer.
- 04
What it costs to fix by hand
A regulatory consultant charges four figures per product to send the emails you could send.[3]
A business should be able to focus on its craft and still trust its supply chain. The difficulty of proving where a natural ingredient came from is a defect of this industry, not of the person who built the brand.
How a Product File gets built.
- Step 01
Paste the link to one of your products
We read the ingredient list off your own page, and lift your claims from it verbatim.
- Step 02
Drop in whatever paperwork you have
Spec sheets, certificates of analysis, invoices, forwarded supplier threads. Scans are fine.
- Step 03
Every fact gets a Source, or it gets named
Ingredient, botanical name, country, region, supplier, tier — each cited to document, page and line. The rest becomes a Gap.
- Step 04
Your suppliers get asked, and chased
Each Gap gets a Supplier Request, sent under our address on your behalf, chased for 60 days, folded back in on reply.
- Step 05
You hand it over
A PDF and a structured file for your safety assessor, and an Origin Page your own customers can read.
Which sentences on your label survive September 2026.
“Sustainably sourced shea butter”
RefusedWhat the evidence supports
Not provable as written. A generic environmental claim needs substantiation from 27 September 2026. Wording this file would support: “shea butter from Ghana, supplier document on file”.
“100% natural origin ingredients”
UnprovenWhat the evidence supports
Provable per ingredient only, and only where a document names the source. 11 of these 14 ingredients had one.
“Butyrospermum parkii butter, Ghana”
ProvenWhat the evidence supports
Certificate of analysis, page 1, line 7. Region still unproven, request sent to the supplier.
We say “we could not prove this”, never “you failed to prove this”. A Gap is a fact about a supply chain, not a verdict on the person who built it.
One purchase, one file. No subscription, ever.

We do not certify
There is no COSMETOMART badge, and there never will be. A badge is what people show instead of evidence.
We never write compliant
Not on this page, not in your file. We produce evidence you can hand over, and your assessor draws the conclusions.
We do not sell ingredients
Our name ends in MART. We broker nothing and list nothing. We document what you already bought.
We print what we could not prove
A file that flatters you is worthless in front of a retailer or an inspector. Unproven stays visible.
