Following a public allegation that a finished product on the market contains a fragrance material that has been banned by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), an investigation has been conducted in accordance with the IFRA Compliance Program.
The news of the investigation was first reported by happi.com on Oct. 26.
The finished product in question was sent to an independent laboratory for testing and the result is that the product is completely compliant with IFRA Standards.
"Following such an allegation it is our duty to investigate to establish the facts and take action if required," said Pierre Sivac, IFRA president. "On this occasion I am pleased to see that the product is compliant and that the supplier was fully cooperative throughout the investigation. The matter is now closed as far as IFRA is concerned."
