Title: Fragrance Safety in Context: Science, Standards, and Consumer Confidence.

Fragrance safety is frequently discussed in public forums, yet it is often shaped by incomplete information and misconceptions about how ingredients are assessed and regulated. This session will provide a high-level perspective on the scientific and regulatory ecosystem that underpins fragrance safety within the cosmetics sector.

It will explore how national cosmetic regulations, together with internationally recognized frameworks such as those established by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), contribute to a structured and science-based approach to managing safety. The discussion will consider the importance of regulatory compliance and standards in fostering consumer confidence, supporting responsible innovation, and maintaining market integrity.

The objective is to encourage informed dialogue around the role of evidence-based regulation in addressing misconceptions and strengthening trust in fragrance safety systems.
