Expert·ING launches free cosmetic ingredient grading tool

Formulation Experts LLC has launched Expert·ING, a free platform that grades more than 49,000 cosmetic ingredients A through F using regulatory data from six authorities. The app also explains ingredients in plain English, personalizes results to user sensitivities, and adds shelf monitoring and shopping tools for consumers and formulators.

Why it matters: - Expert·ING aims to make cosmetic ingredient safety easier to understand for shoppers who do not know what long ingredient names mean. - The platform combines regulatory grades, plain-English explanations and personal risk filters in one tool. - Formulators and indie brands also get a paid compliance tier for multi-jurisdiction screening.

What happened: - Formulation Experts LLC launched Expert·ING, a free cosmetic ingredient safety platform available at experting.app. - The platform grades 49,000+ cosmetic ingredients from A through F using real regulatory data. - The launch was announced June 24, 2026, in Boca Raton, Florida.

The details: - Expert·ING uses six regulatory and standards sources at once: EU COSING, FDA 21 CFR, Health Canada, California AB 2762, the Sephora Clean Standard and the UK Cosmetics Regulation. - Each grade displays the specific regulatory source behind the result. - The platform explains what each ingredient is and why it is in a product in plain English. - Users can create a My Concern Profile for pregnancy, eczema, fragrance sensitivity, acne-prone skin and other concerns. - The platform re-grades ingredients based on that profile. - Users can also build an Ingredients I Avoid list that flags personal triggers across products. - Expert·ING includes patent-pending proactive shelf monitoring that alerts users when a formula changes or a regulatory body updates an ingredient classification. - A Chrome Extension shows ingredient grades while people shop online. - The service is free to start and does not require a credit card. - A professional tier called Expert Pro costs $29 per month. - Expert Pro includes multi-jurisdiction compliance screening, fragrance allergen calculation across all 81 EU 2023/1545 allergens and IFRA compliance checking.

Between the lines: - The launch puts regulatory data, consumer personalization and commerce tools into one workflow, which could make ingredient screening faster for both shoppers and brands. - The no-pay-to-change-grades claim is designed to distinguish the platform from scoring systems that rely on proprietary or sponsored rankings. - The combination of monitoring and browser integration suggests the product is built for ongoing use, not one-time checks.

What's next: - Expert·ING will continue to surface formula changes and regulatory updates through its monitoring system. - The company appears to be using the free consumer product to drive adoption of Expert Pro among formulators and brands. - Formulation Experts LLC identifies Expert·ING as its flagship platform and positions the company around cosmetic formulation science and regulatory intelligence. - Dr. Brijesh Patel, founder of Expert·ING and Formulation Experts LLC, said the company built the tool so users can understand what an ingredient is, why it is there and whether it is right for them specifically.
