Vivasan Wiki:About
About the project
Vivasan Wiki is an independent encyclopedia of Vivasan products, of the ingredients and plants they contain, and of the organisations, methods and terms needed to understand them.
An article about a product describes it, its purpose, its composition and how it is used. An ingredient or plant article explains what the material is, where it comes from and what is known about its use and safety. The articles are written for readers who want more than a catalogue entry or a short product description.
Vivasan Wiki is not an official Vivasan website and does not represent the manufacturer or any of its official divisions.
What the encyclopedia covers
- Products: composition, purpose, directions for use and precautions of individual Vivasan products.
- Ingredients and plants: origin, composition, uses and safety of the materials in the products, including what studies have and have not shown.
- Brands and organisations: the Vivasan brand, and the public bodies and reference works whose findings the articles cite.
- Methods and terms: production methods such as steam distillation, and concepts such as carrier oil or good manufacturing practice.
Sources and accuracy
The articles draw on product packaging, the manufacturer's own product information, official documents of public bodies, scientific publications and reference works. Statements are linked to their sources by footnotes.
Facts printed on a product's packaging are kept apart from general information about an ingredient and from the findings of individual studies. A finding about an ingredient is therefore not presented as an effect of the product.
The articles may contain errors or fall out of date as products and evidence change.

The articles are free to read.
The original texts and other protected elements of the encyclopedia are not released under an open licence. Copying, translating, adapting or republishing them requires prior permission from the rights holders, except where the law allows it.
