Science at the heart of fragrance safety
Fragrances enhance daily life, making safety an ongoing responsibility. IFRA’s approach is rooted in scientific evidence, rigorous assessment, and transparent communication. Through the IFRA Standards, Code of Practice, and extensive collaboration, IFRA provides the fragrance industry with clear guidance to support safe, sustainable product creation and use.
Science and safety as the foundations of our work
The IFRA Standards
The IFRA Standards represent the global benchmark for fragrance ingredient safety, developed through continuous scientific review and expert collaboration. These standards ensure fragrances are used safely and responsibly worldwide.
Transparency and guidance
Beyond standards, IFRA emphasizes clear communication and openness. Our transparency list, code of practice, and ongoing scientific publications provide essential information, supporting informed decisions and consumer confidence.
Innovation for safety
IFRA actively promotes innovative approaches, such as New Alternative Methodologies (NAMs), to enhance fragrance safety assessment. Collaborations with organizations like RIFM, ICCS, and EPPA ensure our science remains at the cutting edge.
