Behind COSMEE

We built calm-first because most “sensitive” brands aren't.

COSMEE is a small studio building one thing: calm-first skincare for sensitive, reactive, and stressed skin. Compounded by hand in Austin, TX.

Why we exist

Most “sensitive skin” formulas still contain fragrance synonyms, full-strength actives without ramp-ups, sulfates labeled “gentle”, or essential oils that trigger ~30% of reactive skin. The label says calm. The formula doesn't.

COSMEE V4-Sensitive exists because there was no compounding-grade sensitive routine in the US that we could actually use. We built it for people who have reacted to “sensitive” lines from drugstore and luxury aisles — and stopped trying.

Today we compound for 100 clients a week from our Austin, TX studio. Each formula is made fresh, never from inventory.

Three principles

How COSMEE is built differently.

Evaluated, not marketed

Clinically scored, not marketed

Every ingredient scored across 9 clinical dimensions before it touches a formula. 27 actives passed our screen. 16 “standard” actives others use, we removed in V4.

See the list

Compounded, not manufactured

Made fresh, not from inventory

Every protocol compounded in our Austin, TX studio. We cap at 100 clients per week. No mass production. No inventory sitting on shelves losing potency.

Adjusted, not repeated

Evolves with your skin

Your formula evolves across 3 cycles — 18 weeks total. Your skin teaches DermAI™ what it tolerates. Cycle 3 is calibrated to you, not a copy of cycle 1.

Co-Founder · COSMEE WORLD LLC

For years, my skin didn't fit anywhere. The gentle lines calmed the redness but never touched my breakouts or the oil. The ones that cleared my acne left my skin stinging and raw. Every brand made me pick one problem to solve — so I started COSMEE for sensitive, acne-prone skin that shouldn't have to choose between calm and clear.

Our calm-first commitments.

What we will and won't do, in writing.

  • No fragrance, including “natural parfum” or essential oils.

  • No full-strength actives without a tolerance ramp-up.

  • Every formula compounded fresh — never from inventory.

  • Sensitive-skin protocols run 18 weeks, not 6.

  • Every ingredient in your formula is readable, traceable, and explained.

  • If a formula doesn’t work for your skin, we reformulate at no cost.
