【Mechanism of Integration ── Bidirectional Interlinking】

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The greatest feature of this integration is that the paper pages of Cosmetic Science and the ingredient/raw material pages of Cosmetic-Info.jp will be connected by "bidirectional" interlinks.

① Cosmetic Science → Cosmetic-Info.jp

While reading a paper, access detailed information on featured ingredients

Each paper page in Cosmetic Science will display a "Cosmetic-Info.jp Related Ingredient/Raw Material Link" section. With a single click on an ingredient name appearing in the paper (e.g., hyaluronic acid, glycerin, squalane, niacinamide, etc.), users can transition to the individual ingredient page on Cosmetic-Info.jp. This provides immediate access to detailed information that deepens understanding of the paper, such as formulation purpose, safety data, CAS numbers, and examples of formulated products.

*This screen is an image under development, and the actual design, specifications, and displayed content may change. All paper information shown is dummy data for explanation purposes.

② Cosmetic-Info.jp → Cosmetic Science

While researching ingredients, access the latest academic insights

As a reverse linkage, a "Cosmetic Science Related Papers" section will be newly established on the ingredient/raw material name pages of Cosmetic-Info.jp. For example, opening the page for "hyaluronic acid" will display a list of the latest Cosmetic Science papers dealing with hyaluronic acid, allowing direct transition from the paper title to the individual paper page.

From an ingredient database to the latest academic research, a natural flow is achieved ──

Information search paths that were previously fragmented will be integrated into a single flow.
