Within the personal care industry we are seeing the growing trend of top companies sharing a list of the fragrance ingredients they use in their formulations. This level of information is what consumers are demanding in the products they use. Transparency and high quality ingredients are two of our core pillars here at Sigma-Aldrich.

In this edition of our application guide, we focus on our growing line of fragrance ingredients that meet the IFRA guidelines. We review all of our fragrance ingredients and verify that they do not contain any prohibited substances identified in Annex II or Annex III of EU Regulation No. 1223/2009. Furthermore, we review our ingredients according to the 48th amendment in the IFRA standards for restricted, prohibited or specified substances. We strive to offer the utmost transparency to our customers to help develop safe products for consumers.
