Who we are

Why we built this.

Two people who got tired of not being able to read the back of the bottle.


Our story

Klaeri turns the world's scientific and regulatory databases into plain English — so you can understand what's in the products you buy without a chemistry degree or a scare tactic.

🍵Klaeri started at our own kitchen table

We built Klaeri because we needed it — not just you.

💛

We have people we love living with chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, and serious health challenges. When you're caring for someone — or managing your own health — you start reading labels differently. Suddenly that wall of unfamiliar ingredient names isn't background noise; it's a question you need answered, standing right there in the aisle, with no easy way to answer it.

🔬

So we did what anyone would: we started researching. And we kept hitting the same wall. The real information exists — the FDA, the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, the WHO's cancer research agency, Health Canada and others publish detailed findings on these ingredients. But it lives in dense PDFs and technical databases no shopper is going to read between picking up milk and checking out.

"We wanted a simple thing: to understand what's actually in the products our family uses — in plain English, without a chemistry degree and without someone trying to scare us."
🌿

We figured we couldn't be the only ones who needed this. So we spent a long time researching what the right solution would even look like — and that became Klaeri. Today it cross-references ingredients in beauty, food, cleaning, supplement, baby and pet products against 12 global scientific and regulatory databases, and shows what those sources have actually published — clearly, calmly, right where you shop.

We don't tell you what's good or bad. We hand you the facts — and trust you to make the call that's right for your family. 😅 Basically, ingredients for humans

Think of Klaeri as "ingredients for dummies." Except — who's the dummy here?

Nobody's dumb. We just weren't raised memorizing words like phenoxyethanol or tocopheryl acetate. There's no shame in reading "sodium lauryl sulfate" and thinking, "…and that is?" — that's most of us, most of the time. So instead of handing you a chemistry-textbook definition that leaves you nodding politely and still confused, we say the human version: "it's basically the stuff that makes shampoo foam," or "often used in products for sensitive skin." Clear enough to glance at a label, get it, and decide for yourself. If we're all a little lost in the ingredients aisle, we might as well have a good time finding our way out. 💛

The two of us

A Norwegian and a Mexican walked into a restaurant…

…fell in love, and built a life together. Somewhere between merging two kitchens, two cultures, and two sets of habits, we started squinting at ingredient lists and going "what even is half of this?" We couldn’t find a tool that just explained it — calmly, with sources, no scare tactics — so we built one for ourselves. Turns out a lot of you wanted the same thing.

Two people, two passports, one shared annoyance with unreadable labels.

What we believe

🙅‍♀️

No fear-mongering

We never use "safe," "unsafe," or "toxic." We tell you what a database has published and link you to the source. You decide what matters to you.

🔗

Sources, always

Every claim traces back to a named, publicly available regulatory or scientific source. If we can't cite it, we don't say it.

🧭

Context over scores

A single safety score hides more than it reveals. Concentration, formulation, and exposure all matter — so we give you context, not a verdict.

🌿

Calm, not alarming

Klaeri should feel like a knowledgeable friend, not a warning siren. Transparency builds trust; panic doesn't.

How we make money

Klaeri is free to use. We offer a Klaeri+ plan ($4.99/month) for people who want deeper personalization, and a Business API for companies that want ingredient intelligence in their own products. We may earn affiliate commissions when you buy through a comparison link — but those links are based on ingredient comparison only, never on who paid us, and they never change what a database says about an ingredient.

Our incentives only work if you trust what we show you. That's why source transparency isn't a feature — it's the whole product.
