The main object of the Society is to advance the science of cosmetics. It endeavours to do this by attracting to its membership men and women with high scientific qualifications and with experience both academically and industrially in cosmetics or related sciences; and by its activities, ie. its publications, educational programmes and scientific meetings.
Type in one search term in the first search field. Blank spaces are disabled, so you cannot enter more than one search term into the field. The IFSCC Archives will display all abstracts that contain the search term.
Example: sunscreens will display all articles containing this search term.
Use the + Add search term function to combine several search terms.
You can combine a maximum of three search terms with each other.
For each search term, you can specify the scope for the search, indicating whether to search the full record (including the title, abstract text, keywords, etc.) or the search should be of a specific field – the title, abstract text, keywords, or author’s name field. This can help you to get more specific search results.
Example: sunscreens + “Full record” in the corresponding scope dropdown field, will display all articles containing “sunscreens” in any of the fields that make up the abstracts. However, sunscreens + “Title” will display all articles containing “sunscreens” in the abstract Title only.
Use the “Advanced search” to further limit search results, narrowing down the type of document, year(s) of publication, or language in which the paper was initially written. In order to use the advanced search, you will first need to type in a regular search term.
You can sort your search results according to relevance, year and author.
Relevance: The first results include abstract, papers and news with the highest number of search hits.
Year: Sorts your search results chronologically.
Author: Sorts all search results alphabetically by author.
