38,358 ingredients, 11,984 raw materials and 1,199 companies, gathered from 115 sources. The numbers below are counted from the dictionary as it stands right now.
Records linked is the share of the records received from a source that connect to an ingredient or substance in the dictionary. Lists covering every industrial chemical, such as Australia’s AICIS or the US EPA, come out low because most of their substances have nothing to do with cosmetics. 11 sources not yet open are recorded with what each is waiting for.
