Cosnem

Cosnem is a German label that operates as a division of FoodConnection GmbH, a company based in Reinbek [2]. The name is written "CosNem" in the company's legal notice. Its webshop presents it under the German tagline "Gesundheit, Schönheit und Pflege für Dich", which translates as "health, beauty and care for you" [1]. The brand has no publicly documented founding year, founders or origin story.

Cosnem's current status is unclear. Its official webshop has announced that it will close soon, and as of November 2026 it no longer offered any beauty product, only a sweetener [3]. A product under the Cosnem name was still sold through a German online pharmacy at that time, so it cannot be said whether the brand has ended its cosmetics activity or simply stopped selling directly.

Cosnem is not a company in its own right. Its legal notice describes it as "eine Division der FoodConnection GmbH", meaning a division of FoodConnection GmbH [2]. The parent company is registered at the Lübeck local court under number HRB 11385 HL and is represented by its managing director, Mariele Oosting. The same Reinbek address serves as the brand's contact point.

The link between the two names is also visible outside the company's own pages. A German price-comparison site lists the manufacturer as "CosNem Division der FoodConnection", with four products in its category for skin, hair and nail medicines [5]. That listing does not name the individual products. No acquisition history or sister beauty brands are documented for Cosnem.

The tagline is the only description the company gives of itself. It places health alongside beauty and everyday care. Cosnem has not published a mission statement, a list of brand values or claims about natural, vegan or cruelty-free formulas. No third-party certifications are documented.

The clearest recent sign of activity is a notice on the brand's own webshop. It reads "Sehr geehrte Kunden, dieser Webshop wird demnächst geschlossen", which means "Dear customers, this webshop will close soon" [3]. The notice is undated; it was on the site in early November 2026.

By then the shop listed a single category, Canderel sweetener, which it described as suitable for diabetics and made to a classic recipe with aspartame. The notice tells customers that Canderel products are now available in "our new webshop", chefino.de. No skin-care, nail-care or foot-care product appeared anywhere on the site.

Outside the shop, the picture is less settled. APONEO, a German online pharmacy, still listed a nail-care solution with Cosnem named as the manufacturer and the Reinbek address as contact [4]. The pharmacy's description says the product was developed for professional foot care. That listing suggests that at least some Cosnem goods remained on sale through third-party retailers.

No recent product launches, press coverage or social media accounts are documented for the brand. Its known presence is limited to Germany. Whether Cosnem is still making cosmetics, has paused its beauty line, or is being wound down along with its webshop is not publicly known.
