CA International - Cosmetic Analysis for the world

Eschen, July 2021

Concept for the internationalization of Cosmetic Analysis

Cosmetic Analysis has been online for 13 years in the summer of 2021, as a leading, manufacturer-neutral consumer protection portal. For an international expansion of the business activities of the consumer portal, it is necessary to regionalize the presence of cosmetic analysis.

This will firstly make it possible to maintain the same high quality of information on substances and products in different countries and regions and to guarantee a high quality of support for members. This includes, among other things, the inclusion of regional manufacturer-neutral technical literature with corresponding properties for the substances.

Secondly, through regionalisation, the local cosmetics companies can also be individually acquired and won over for Pro Plus membership.

Business idea in franchising

Offer Cosmetic Analysis, in your national language and in your country as well as for your own business, to your compatriots!

We can guarantee a quick and inexpensive start.

Also possible on a part-time basis. Specialized knowledge is an advantage but not a condition.

If you are interested, please contact Günter W. Reichelt by mail. Please tell us some information about your person, your professional orientation, if necessary about your previous business and your goals.

Orientation of the new development towards internationalization

In 2020, the application, which has been operating stably since 2008, was revised and can now be used as a modern “mobile first” web application for many other applications.

In addition to the development of a wide range of new functions, great importance was attached to consistently implementing the data structure and all application details with maximum flexibility. As a result, the application can be made usable for corresponding country partners with little effort.

Functions

The business model is divided into two complementary areas.

1) The product analysis portal

As a manufacturer-neutral consumer protection portal,Cosmetic Analysis evaluates cosmetics and cosmetic ingredients in a way that is comprehensible to everyone.

Two memberships are offered, tailored to the needs of consumers and cosmetics professionals. Members can:

(a) access information and manufacturer-neutral reviews of nearly 10,000 ingredients (INCIs). Here, in addition to various details on the substances, a wide range of information from neutral specialist literature, with resulting and evaluated properties, can be seen. The respective quotations are displayed with reference to the source for each member

b) use a database of almost 50,000 cosmetic products evaluated in a manufacturer-neutral way, with all their ingredient information. These product analyses are created by the Cosmetic Analysis members using the database of manufacturer-neutral evaluated ingredients.

A variety of selection and sorting options allow consumers and experts to make detailed use of the ingredient and product database.

The services a) and b) are achieved via the memberships Consumer and Pro.

2) The marketing portal

The membership Pro Plus is for cosmetic companies. Here, they can independently manage the products analysed by their company in a manufacturer-neutral manner for use in marketing and sales.

Suppliers can create as many CA codes as they wish for each of their products in all the languages offered. CA codes are links and corresponding QR codes that refer to the respective product analysis and can be viewed by everyone (not only members of Kosmetikanalyse).

These CA codes can be individually assigned, online and offline, to advertising and marketing measures. This allows companies to advertise their product quality in a targeted and transparent way. Clicks and scans are recorded geographically and temporally by Kosmetikanalyse and can be evaluated by the companies.
