The Euro­pean Part­nership for Alter­na­ti­ve Approa­ches to Ani­mal Tes­ting (EPAA) has cele­bra­ted its 20^th anni­ver­sary, high­ligh­ting two deca­des of joint work bet­ween the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion and industry to advan­ce scien­ce-based, ani­mal-free tes­ting methods.

IFRA sup­ports the reform of the Euro­pean Che­mi­cals Agency (ECHA) whi­le empha­si­zing the impor­tan­ce of main­tai­ning inde­pen­dent and expert advi­ce on cos­me­tics safety.

IFRA con­tri­bu­ted to the Euro­pean Commission’s con­sul­ta­tion on the revi­sed Safe and Sus­tai­na­ble by Design (SSbD) fra­me­work, empha­si­zing the need for cla­rity and prac­ti­ca­lity for com­plex ingre­dients such as fragrances.

Coun­cil nego­tia­tions advan­ce, but key con­cerns remain for the sector.

Gene­ral upda­tes from the field of ingre­dient defen­ce, inclu­ding ace­tophe­no­ne, helio­tro­pi­ne, CLH pro­po­sals on l‑Carvone, spear­mint oil and galaxolide.

In just one week, fra­gran­ce lea­ders, scien­tists, and regu­la­tors from across the world will con­ve­ne in Sin­ga­po­re for the IFRA Glo­bal Fra­gran­ce Sum­mit 2025, taking pla­ce on 15 – 16 Octo­ber at the Fair­mont Singapore.

IFRA scien­ce experts sha­red the latest scien­ce on human health, envi­ron­ment, and safety assessment

This work, con­duc­ted under the aus­pi­ces of IDEA (The Inter­na­tio­nal Dia­lo­gue for the Eva­lua­tion of Aller­gens), pre­sents an expan­ded Refe­ren­ce Che­mi­cal Potency List (RCPL) with 77 addi­tio­nal che­mi­cals. The exten­ded RCPL strengthens the eva­lua­tion of New Approach Metho­do­lo­gies for asses­sing skin sen­si­ti­sing potency.

Over the sum­mer, the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion laun­ched a public con­sul­ta­tion on the revi­sion of the EU Cos­me­tic Pro­ducts Regu­la­tion (CPR). The aim was to gather input from autho­ri­ties and sta­kehol­ders on whether the Regu­la­tion should be revi­sed in the coming years, loo­king at what has wor­ked well, whe­re impro­ve­ments may be nee­ded, and what areas should be prioritised.
