On 17–18 August, IFRA held a technical programme with ANVISA’s cosmetics and sanitizing products department (GGCOS) at the agency’s headquarters in Brasília. An olfactory masterclass led by perfumer Mônica Rossetto was followed by sessions from IFRA President Alexander Mohr and Vice President of Scientific Affairs Matthias Vey on fragrance safety assessment, exposure science and the IFRA Standards. The programme also brought together ABIFRA, IFRA’s National Association in Brazil, alongside ABIHPEC (Brazilian Association of the Personal Hygiene, Perfumery and Cosmetics Industry) and ABIPLA (Brazilian Association of Cleaning Products Industries).

The initiative was subsequently highlighted by ANVISA Director Marcelo Moreira during a public meeting of the agency’s Collegiate Board, where he emphasized the value of cooperation with the regulated sector in strengthening the scientific basis of health regulation.
