About Cosma
Ingredient intelligence, built as a utility.
Cosma helps you understand what’s inside the products you use — clearly, privately, and without guesswork. Scan, normalize, annotate, and keep provenance. No scores. No verdicts. Just facts.
From the founder
“I wanted a tool that treated ingredient information with the same rigor as lab notes — clear, sourced, and easy to return to.”
— R. Kavasseri
Why know what’s in it
Labels change. Your knowledge should keep up.
Federal regulators and industry groups are tracking commitments to remove certain petroleum‑based food dyes, with a public timeline and listed brands. This is a clear example of how ingredient composition shifts across time and why ongoing label awareness matters for everyday products. citeturn0view0
Cosma’s purpose is to reduce guesswork by turning those changes into a readable record you can return to.
Provenance matters more than opinions.
The FDA’s public tracker lists six remaining certified color additives it aims to phase out by the end of 2027, and notes recent regulatory action on FD&C Red No. 3. These are concrete, documentable shifts — exactly the kind of changes that benefit from structured tracking rather than memory. citeturn0view0
Cosma keeps a clean, time‑anchored record of what you scanned, with confidence and sources.
Organization reduces cognitive load.
The FDA page shows a living list of company commitments and timelines, updated over time. That kind of evolving information is hard to keep straight without a system. Cosma’s Shelf and Pantry let you keep a personal, searchable record across sessions. citeturn0view0
The goal is a simple habit: scan once, understand once, and return to the record whenever you need.
