KosmetikOn AI Infrastructure

kAI — Purpose-Built AI for Your Industry

Generic AI knows a little about everything. kAI knows everything about cosmetics, fragrance, and haute cuisine. Built from the ground up on the largest proprietary specialized datasets in these industries, kAI is the intelligence layer that powers every module of the Labify® platform — delivering domain-specific AI that general-purpose models cannot replicate.

kAI is KosmetikOn's proprietary AI layer — a purpose-built intelligence engine trained on the largest proprietary specialized datasets in the cosmetics, fragrance, and culinary science industries, including over 100,000 raw material profiles with structured data on INCI nomenclature, function, safety, regulatory status, recommended concentrations, and supplier provenance.

Developed and led by CTO Pere Adell Parramon — an EPFL engineer (BSc Communication Systems 2017, MFE Financial Engineering 2019) and author of "Forecasting Beta Using Machine Learning and Equity Sentiment Variables" published in Machine Learning for Asset Management (Wiley, 2020) — kAI was founded as a dedicated AI research initiative in 2019 and has since become the intelligence backbone of every Labify® product and La Dalle.

Unlike generic large language models applied as an afterthought to cosmetics workflows, kAI performs formulation-relevant tasks that require structured, current domain knowledge — including Margin of Safety (MOS) calculations, IFRA limit checks, allergen cross-referencing, ingredient suggestions based on regulatory constraints, and continuous regulatory compliance monitoring across EU, US, and ASEAN jurisdictions.

Built by AI Researchers, Not Consultants

kAI is the product of a dedicated AI research team with published credentials in machine learning — applied exclusively to the domains where KosmetikOn operates.

Margin of Safety (MOS) Calculation

Automatic MOS calculation across multiple consumer age ranges, directly from formulation data — a critical regulatory requirement for cosmetic product safety assessment that kAI performs with structured, current toxicological data.

IFRA Limit Checks

Automated compliance checking against current IFRA (International Fragrance Association) standards for fragrance formulations — including limit calculations per product category, allergen declaration management, and reformulation guidance when standards change.

Allergen Cross-Referencing

Identification of allergens and cross-reactivity risks across ingredients in a formulation — covering cosmetics allergens (EU Cosmetics Regulation), fragrance allergens (IFRA/EU labelling), and food allergens (EU Food Information Regulation) depending on the vertical.

Ingredient Suggestions

AI-powered ingredient recommendations based on target claims, regulatory constraints, performance gaps, or reformulation needs — connecting formulators directly to the 100,000+ raw material database with suggestions that are compliant, available, and formulation-relevant.

Predictive Trend & Sentiment Analysis

Market intelligence and trend analysis covering cosmetics, fragrance, and culinary categories — helping R&D teams align product development with emerging demands and stay ahead of market shifts.

Sustainability Scoring

Sustainability assessment for formulations and ingredients — evaluating environmental impact, sourcing practices, and ingredient provenance to support increasingly important sustainability commitments.

Why Domain-Specific AI, Not a Generic LLM

General-purpose large language models are powerful tools for general knowledge. They are not reliable tools for formulation-level decisions in regulated industries. Here is why kAI exists.

Structured Data vs. Probabilistic Text

A generic LLM generates text based on statistical patterns. kAI operates on structured, verified datasets — 100,000+ raw material profiles with specific INCI names, CAS numbers, regulatory statuses, concentration limits, and safety data. When kAI calculates an MOS value or checks an IFRA limit, it is querying structured data, not generating a probable answer.

Current vs. Frozen Knowledge

Generic LLMs have knowledge cutoff dates. Regulatory frameworks in cosmetics, fragrance, and food change frequently — IFRA amendments, EU regulatory updates, REACH substance evaluations. kAI's datasets are continuously maintained and updated by KosmetikOn's domain experts. The AI's knowledge is always current because the data it references is always current.

Formulation-Relevant vs. Conversationally Plausible

Ask a generic LLM about cosmetic ingredients and you will get a plausible-sounding paragraph. Ask kAI and you will get a formulation-relevant answer with specific concentration ranges, regulatory restrictions by jurisdiction, known interactions with other ingredients, and supplier availability — because kAI was built by domain experts to serve domain experts.

Integrated vs. Isolated

kAI is not a chatbot bolted onto a software platform. It is the intelligence layer woven through every module — PLM, CRM, SRM, ERP, Accounting, and HR. kAI's suggestions, validations, and analyses operate on the actual formulation data, manufacturing records, and supplier information already in the platform. A generic LLM has no access to this context.
