Problem
Cosmetic manufacturers must ensure product labels and documentation comply with EU Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, a process that involves manually checking ingredient lists, mandatory labeling elements, and prohibited substances. Manual reviews are time‑consuming, error‑prone, and can cause export delays or regulatory penalties.
Solution
Try It Yourself offers an AI‑driven compliance platform that automates the analysis of cosmetic product artwork and technical documents. Users upload label images or PDFs, and the system applies advanced OCR to extract key fields such as ingredient lists, manufacturer details, net content, and batch numbers. Extracted data are cross‑referenced in real time against a curated database of over 26,000 ingredients and the full set of EU cosmetic regulations. The platform flags non‑compliant items, assigns severity levels, and provides actionable fix suggestions with visual annotations. Progress is tracked live, delivering a complete compliance report within minutes, thereby accelerating label approval workflows and reducing the risk of regulatory breaches.
Target Audience
Primary customers are cosmetic manufacturers, brand owners, and packaging designers who need to certify product labels for EU market entry, as well as regulatory affairs teams responsible for label approval and export compliance.
