About IFRA

The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) was founded in 1973 in Geneva to represent the collective interests of the fragrance industry. Its main purpose is to promote the safe enjoyment of fragrances worldwide.

Together with the industry’s scientific centre RIFM (the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials), the IFRA team makes sure that the establishment of usage standards for fragrance materials is put into practice according to the available scientific recommendation, and that member companies comply with those standards. Self-regulation enables the IFRA standards to be adopted very rapidly by fragrance houses worldwide and by the industry as a whole.

All of RIFM’s scientific findings are evaluated by an independent, scientific Expert Panel — an international group of dermatologists, pathologists, toxicologists and environmental scientists.

The IFRA Code of Practice applies to the manufacture and handling of all fragrance materials, for all types of applications and contains the full set of IFRA Standards.
Abiding by the IFRA Code of Practice is a prerequisite for all fragrance supplier companies that are members of IFRA (through their national or regional associations). Currently IFRA members supply 90% of the global market for fragrance compounds.

Client companies (including producers of toiletries and household products) expect their fragrances to comply with IFRA Standards as set out in the Code.

The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) comprises national and regional associations, whose members include fragrance ingredient and compound manufacturers and suppliers. Currently IFRA’s Association Members include Australia
(FFAANZ), Brazil (ABIFRA), Columbia (CISF), Indonesia (AFFI), JAPAN (JFFMA), Mexico (ANFPA), Singapore (FFAS), USA (FMA) Germany (DVRH), France (PRODAROM), Italy (Federchimica Assospecifici), Netherlands (NEA), Spain (AEFAA), Switzerland (SFFIA),
Turkey (AREP) and the UK (BFA).

As well as Association Members, IFRA also has six Regular Members who are multinational fragrance companies. They pay their membership dues directly to IFRA. They are: Firmenich, Givaudan, IFF, Robertet, Symrise and Takasago International.

These specifications very strictly define, in full transparency and without ambiguity, "environment-friendly and organic cosmetics" and guide consumers seeking authentic natural and organic products.
