Katariina Rantanen
Katariina Rantanen, founder of CosmEthics, is an entrepreneur who believes in purpose-driven businesses that put mission and social purpose first.
The company has built an application, which is free for consumers, to help make healthier cosmetic choices by reading the barcode of a product.
A native Finn, she was brought up in the UK, and spent much of her youth in the US. She launched CosmEthics in 2013, after living in France, a two year period of both Ph.D research and perfumery work in Grasse.
Katariina’s background is a Masters in Entrepreneurship, and she has worked in both education (Assistant Professor), venture capital and business advisory roles. Her past also involves voluntary help of cancer patients. Her passion is promoting open data, helping people choose healthier cosmetics, and she promotes strict adherence to legal compliance in the EU regarding ingredients used in cosmetics.

CosmEthics Is An App To Analyze The Make Up Of Your Make-Up
The cosmetics industry is massive. It’s also massively secretive when it comes to the ingredients contained in its expensive lotions and potions. That’s something CosmEthics — a startup launching its app today at TechCrunch Disrupt Europe — is determined to change.
Many of us use various cosmetics products daily but it can be challenging to find out what we actually put on our skin. Checking the product label is far from being helpful, since often the ingredients are listed in gibberish-sounding INCI names (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) or Latin.
