What is IFRA and Why is it Important?
IFRA (International Fragrance Association) is the global authority regulating the safe use of fragrance ingredients, including natural aroma compounds, synthetic aroma chemicals, and finished fragrances. Its IFRA Standards are mandatory for ensuring that fragrance materials do not pose health risks (e.g., skin allergies, sensitization) when used in consumer products like cosmetics, detergents, and air fresheners.
As a responsible fragrance supplier, Gar Aromas ensures that all our ingredients—from natural raw materials to synthetic aroma chemicals and compounded fragrances—fully comply with the latest IFRA standards.
When sourcing or formulating fragrances, professionals often search for:
- “IFRA-compliant fragrance oils”
- “Safe natural fragrance ingredients”
- “Synthetic aroma chemicals IFRA standards”
- “Fragrance allergy risk management”
- “REACH and IFRA compliance for perfumery”
Our expertise covers all these areas, ensuring your formulations meet regulatory and safety expectations.
How IFRA Certification Works
IFRA issues restrictions and usage limits for over 180+ fragrance materials (e.g., limonene, linalool, coumarin) based on their potential to cause skin sensitization or other hazards. Compliance involves:
- Ingredient Screening – Evaluating each natural extract (e.g., essential oils) and synthetic molecule against IFRA’s RIFM (Research Institute for Fragrance Materials) data.
- Usage Calculation – Ensuring fragrance compounds stay within safe concentration levels for end-products (e.g., leave-on vs. rinse-off cosmetics).
- Certification & Documentation – Providing IFRA certificates for each material and blended fragrance.
