To help inform our customers, we have created this glossary of terms related to our products and projects; we hope it will enable us all to communicate clearly. The information provided here is intended to facilitate discussion, not to serve as medical or legal advice. Current glossary entries are:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

P

patent
personal care
pharmaceutical: formulations designed as medicinals.
phospholipid
phosphotidylcholine
private label: Elsom Research product made for other companies and carrying their label.
psoriasis: a disease that is known from ancient history but still does not have a cure. There are instead products to relieve the agony associated with the disease and some seem to temporarily improve its visual symptoms.

This glossary is always under construction. If you'd like to suggest additional terms to be discussed here, please contact us.
