Free lookups
Reference data for anyone sourcing or buying supplements, skincare and health tools — the same information a competent buyer would assemble before placing an order. Five lookups, open to everyone, including our competitors.
The lookups
Ingredient index
What each vitamin, mineral, botanical, active or device category actually is, the amounts that appear on labels, what to check in a supplier pack, and where the cautions are.
24 standards decodedCertification decoder
GMP, ISO 22716, NSF, USP, Informed Sport, Organic, COSMOS, B Corp and more: what each mark proves, what it never proves, and how to verify it independently.
10 marketsMarket rules by country
How supplements, cosmetics and health devices get to market in the US, EU, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, China and more — and what to ask a supplier before you commit.
InteractiveSupplier due-diligence check
Twenty-eight checks across identity, quality, documentation, samples and payment. Score a supplier before you send a deposit.
3 calculatorsCost and margin calculators
Landed cost with duty and import tax, margin and markup with target-price back-solving, and break-even for your fixed costs.
21 botanicalsTea & infusion reference
Caffeine per cup, what each botanical is actually used for, what to test for, and the "detox" ingredients that are medicines rather than food.
If you would rather not do it yourselfOur sourcing service
Supplements, skincare and health tools from vetted manufacturing partners, with the documentation handled. The lookups stay free whether you use it or not.
Why we publish this instead of gating it
The information on these pages exists because buyers get hurt when it is missing. A brand orders 20,000 units with a certificate of analysis that turns out to be a generic document reused across batches. A distributor launches skincare in the EU without a Responsible Person. A consumer pays for a supplement whose only "clinical" claim came from an ingredient study on something else entirely.
None of that happens because the information is secret. It happens because it is scattered across regulations, authority websites and hard-won experience. Assembling it in one place is the useful part, and charging for it would only reduce the number of people who act on it.
So the lookups are open, no account is required, and nothing here is sponsored. If you buy from us, you pay us for the work of sourcing; if you source elsewhere, the reference data still costs you nothing.
