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.

Matthias Vey, Vice Pre­si­dent of Scien­ti­fic Affairs, IFRA, had the honour and plea­su­re to address IFRA UK mem­bers during the infor­ma­tion day on Sep­tem­ber 11, 2025.

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.

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.

Last week, IFRA took part in Ins­tant Lavan­de, a pro­fes­sio­nal event dedi­ca­ted to natu­ral ingre­dients and the futu­re of fra­gran­ce. Orga­ni­sed by the Mayor of Gras­se, Jérô­me Viaud, the day brought together industry lea­ders, policy­ma­kers, scien­tists and edu­ca­tors to address the increa­sing pres­su­res on the fra­gran­ce sec­tor — and the oppor­tu­ni­ties for resi­lien­ce through collaboration.

Brus­sels, 10 July 2025 – The Inter­na­tio­nal Fra­gran­ce Asso­cia­tion (IFRA) wel­co­mes the publi­ca­tion by the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion of its new Omni­bus pro­po­sal on che­mi­cals, recog­ni­zing its focus on con­su­mer safety and cla­ri­fi­ca­tion of cer­tain aspects of EU che­mi­cals legis­la­tion. Whi­le pro­mi­sing, further strengthe­ning of the pro­po­sal is essen­tial to impro­ve workability.

Brus­sels, 9 July 2025 – The Euro­pean fra­gran­ce, cos­me­tics, and essen­tial oils indus­tries wel­co­me yesterday’s Omni­bus Pro­po­sal published by the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion. We belie­ve it offers a pro­por­tio­na­te and scien­ce-based approach that main­tains the strong empha­sis on con­su­mer safety.

Brus­sels, 3 July 2025 – The Euro­pean cos­me­tics, fra­gran­ce, and essen­tial oils indus­tries wel­co­me the Euro­pean Commission’s con­ti­nued efforts to stream­li­ne and moder­ni­se cor­ners­to­ne sec­to­ral legis­la­tion, inclu­ding the Clas­si­fi­ca­tion, Labe­lling and Pac­ka­ging (CLP) Regu­la­tion and the Cos­me­tic Pro­ducts Regu­la­tion (CPR) whilst main­tai­ning a clear focus on con­su­mer safety.

Brus­sels, 7 July 2025 – The Euro­pean fra­gran­ce, cos­me­tics, and essen­tial oils indus­tries today rein­for­ced their unwa­ve­ring com­mit­ment to con­su­mer safety and pro­por­tio­na­te regu­la­tion, ahead of the Euro­pean Commission’s publi­ca­tion of its Omni­bus pro­po­sal on chemicals.

El diá­lo­go tri­par­ti­to con­clu­ye dos años de deba­te sobre la revi­sión del Regla­men­to de Detergentes.
