Brus­sels, 6 Novem­ber 2025 – The Euro­pean Council’s Gene­ral Approach on the Che­mi­cals Omni­bus (Omni­bus VI) Regu­la­tion has mis­sed the chan­ce to sim­plify pro­vi­sions of the Cos­me­tics Pro­ducts Regu­la­tion and tac­kle long-las­ting com­pe­ti­ti­ve­ness hurd­les iden­ti­fied by the industry whi­le main­tai­ning the highest con­su­mer safety stan­dards. This out­co­me risks undoing pro­gress towards a clea­rer and more pre­dic­ta­ble sys­tem. The cos­me­tics, fra­gran­ce and essen­tial oil indus­tries are deeply con­cer­ned by this outcome.

IFRA is deligh­ted to invi­te you to a second public webi­nar on Pre­pa­ring for IFRA’s revi­sed policy on furocoumarins.

Join glo­bal experts, scien­tists, and industry lea­ders for a dyna­mic onli­ne expe­rien­ce that explo­res how RIFM’s research trans­la­tes into real-world impact — from human expo­su­re and envi­ron­men­tal safety to the scien­ce sup­por­ting the IFRA Standards

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

Sin­ga­po­re, 16 Octo­ber 2025 – The Inter­na­tio­nal Fra­gran­ce Asso­cia­tion (IFRA) clo­sed the Glo­bal Fra­gran­ce Sum­mit 2025 in Sin­ga­po­re today, ending two days of deba­te and dia­lo­gue that pla­ced sus­tai­na­bi­lity, stan­dards, and inno­va­tion at the cen­ter of the fra­gran­ce industry’s future.

Sin­ga­po­re, 15 Octo­ber 2025 – The Inter­na­tio­nal Fra­gran­ce Asso­cia­tion (IFRA) ope­ned the Glo­bal Fra­gran­ce Sum­mit 2025 in Sin­ga­po­re today. The two-day mee­ting brings regu­la­tors, scien­tists and industry lea­ders together under the the­me Scent con­nec­tions – advan­cing stan­dards and colla­bo­ra­tion across cul­tu­res. The pro­gram on day one focu­sed on glo­bal stan­dards, ingre­dient defen­se, regu­la­tory align­ment and a spe­ci­fic look at the Asia-Paci­fic context.

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

The IFRA Pre­si­dent, Ale­xan­der Mohr, PhD, together with IOFI Execu­ti­ve Direc­tor, offi­cially wel­co­med four more Chi­ne­se mem­bers as sig­na­to­ries to the IFRA-IOFI Sus­tai­na­bi­lity Char­ter during a cere­mony at the ESG forum of the CAFF­CI Annual Mee­ting. The new sig­na­to­ries are : Yinghai (Cangzhou) Aro­ma Che­mi­cal Com­pany Ltd.; Boton Fla­vors & Fra­gran­ces Co., Ltd.; Sina­ro­ma Tech (Jiao­zuo) Ltd.; and Hangzhou Gras­cent Co., Ltd. The cere­mony follo­wed the IFRA and IOFI execu­ti­ves’ pre­sen­ta­tion on the fra­gran­ce and fla­vours sus­tai­na­bi­lity charter’s fra­me­work and key out­co­mes outli­ned in the 3^rd IFRA-IOFI Sus­tai­na­bi­lity Report.Eight mem­bers of the fra­gran­ce and fla­vor (F&F)national asso­cia­tion in Chi­na, CAF­FIC, have joi­ned the Char­ter signatory’s com­mu­nity in 2025. This increa­sing num­ber reflects a gro­wing inter­est among Chi­ne­se F&F com­pa­nies in glo­bal sus­tai­na­bi­lity initia­ti­ves, reflec­ting their rising com­mit­ment to Envi­ron­men­tal, Social, and Gover­nan­ce (ESG) principles.

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.

We are deligh­ted to announ­ce that three new orga­ni­za­tions have endor­sed the IFRA-IOFI Sus­tai­na­bi­lity Char­ter. Recently, IFRA has wel­co­med two Sup­por­ting Mem­bers from India – Norex Fla­vours Pri­va­te Ltdx and Keva Fra­gran­ces, Fla­vours & Aro­ma Ingre­dients – along with Kao Che­mi­cals Euro­pe. Their com­mit­ment brings the total num­ber of sig­na­to­ries to 155.This miles­to­ne reflects the gro­wing momen­tum of our industry-wide effort. We warmly encou­ra­ge all IFRA and IOFI mem­bers to join this collec­ti­ve initia­ti­ve, dri­ving sus­tai­na­bi­lity across the fra­gran­ce and fla­vour sector.
