Questions and Answers about SalSearch
Why does the salicylate search engine SalSearch give no information about drugs?
The salicylate search engine (SalSearch) currently values only terms that are listed in the ingredient lists of cosmetics and are defined by the so-called INCI list. The reason for this is that the INCI list contains a manageable number of defined terms in English. The ingredients of drugs are often provided with individual additives, so that an automatic analysis is difficult.
