Fragrance and regulation in Brazil
Brazil is one of the world’s most important sources of essential oils, aroma chemicals and natural raw materials, drawing on the country’s extraordinary biodiversity. It is also a fast-growing market for fragrances and flavours, supplying ingredients to the cosmetics, personal care, home care, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and pet care sectors. Brazilian companies combine this natural heritage with a strong commitment to quality, safety and the responsible, sustainable sourcing of ingredients.
