Idea Detail
INCI Radar
The Pitch
Indie and mid-market beauty brands chasing global expansion find INCI, allergen, and regulatory compliance for lip gloss bases across US, EU, UK, and Asia incredibly opaque. They rely on expensive consultants, static PDFs, or guesswork when tweaking bases, risking recalls or relabeling. INCI Radar is a B2B SaaS compliance and risk engine focused on lip and color cosmetics bases, offering:
- Ingredient- and concentration-level rule mapping across major jurisdictions, with instant risk scores for a given base formula.
- A change simulator: adjust % of a plasticizer, pigment, or fragrance and immediately see compliance and labeling impact.
- Integrations with formulation software, Shopify, and PLM tools, auto-generating compliant INCI lists and suggested market-specific claims.
- Continuous updates as regulations and “red lists” from major retailers (Sephora Clean, Credo, etc.) change. Starting wedge: lip and color-cosmetic-focused DTC brands doing $2–$50M revenue and boutique manufacturers serving them. Revenue via per-seat/usage SaaS, with upsell to broader product categories later; defensibility stems from the rules engine, ongoing legal/regulatory curation, and embeddedness in product development workflows.
