RIFM solicits ingredient info
This article was originally published in The Rose Sheet
Executive Summary
International Fragrance Association's scientific arm is requesting information on macrocyclic lactones, macrocyclic lactides and ketones, aryl alkyl alcohols and alkyl alcohol simple acid ester derivatives - fragrance ingredients its independent Expert Panel will review at September European meeting. Research Institute for Fragrance Materials says move is "in alignment with the fragrance industry's move towards greater transparency about its ingredients," aimed "to enhance dialogue with interested parties, including other associations, governmental entities and non-governmental organizations." In late June, the Cancer Prevention Coalition launched an attack on industry for its alleged "irresponsible practices," claiming that IFRA and RIFM serve to preserve self-regulation in the fragrance sector and shelter companies from government scrutiny (1"The Rose Sheet" July 5, 2010). RIFM will accept information on the ingredients of interest through Aug. 13. Interested parties may also request to present before the Expert Panel; such requests undergo a formal review, RIFM notes
