Wewell tackles the ever-present secrecy in the cosmetics industry with the belief that one shouldn’t need a science degree to find clean, healthy, and fitting products. Thousands of people are already searching for cosmetics using low-risk ingredients through the app. It’s available on AppStore and PlayStore, and it’s designed to be the primary channel for customers who have concerns about ingredients in their beauty/skincare products. Thanks to Wewell, they can access an independent content breakdown, free from all the marketing fluff and misleading branding.

On top of that, the company plans to address each customer’s personal needs, while assessing also the sustainability of products. “Skincare shouldn’t feel like an experiment resulting in a cabinet full of products that don’t fit customers’ needs and preferences,” says Gurami. Therefore, Wewell will introduce and enroll an advanced personalization feature to help people find the best cosmetics available based on their skin type and skin conditions. The app will utilize advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms to analyze voluntary consumers’ information such as gender, skin type, skin conditions, allergies, and daily skin routine habits. That will result in superior benchmarking and product selection on types of beauty/skincare products best suited for each user’s unique needs and preferences.

“International experience and ambition of founders to address the current and upcoming market needs in combination with clear monetization strategy delivered to our team confidence to support the project. We believe that our investment shall enable the extension of the product towards the end-to-end multicriteria product analytics and deliver complete transparency to clients for their educated decision making".

Wewell is an AI-based technology startup that allows users to scan the barcode of a self-care or cosmetic product to determine the holistic analysis of the ingredients contained in the product. The company’s headquarters is in Slovakia.
