IFRA Certification
The IFRA (International Fragrance Association) Certification ensures that candle and home fragrance brands comply with global safety standards for fragrance ingredients. It sets guidelines to minimize potential health risks and environmental impact. Brands must adhere to IFRA's stringent regulations and undergo regular testing. This certification assures consumers of safe and high-quality fragrance products.
Fragrance Categories
IFRA categorizes fragrance ingredients based on their usage in different products. For example, candles and wax melts fall under Category 12, while reed diffusers fall under Category 10A
Usage Guidelines
IFRA certificates provide usage guidelines for fragrance oils in specific products. For example, a fragrance oil might be allowed up to 2% usage in lotions but 100% in candles
Amendments
IFRA periodically updates its standards through amendments. These changes can impact the usage of fragrance oils in different products. For example, the 49th Amendment introduced stricter usage guidelines for reed diffusers.
Compliance
Manufacturers are expected to comply with IFRA standards to ensure the safety and regulatory compliance of their fragrance products.
