The International Fragrance Association, North America (IFRANA) is joining the Safe Cosmetics Alliance and its efforts in supporting new legislation to help safety regulations keep pace with scientific and technological advancements in personal care products.The Alliance, a diverse coalition representing the entire spectrum of the nation’s cosmetic and personal care industry—from nail salon workers to small business owners and direct sellers to global corporations—is working to champion modernizing the industry’s US cosmetic product safety laws, according to Alliance officials.
“At the core of the fragrance industry is a commitment to science and innovation.It is vital that any new policies are also anchored in modern science and support continued innovation in fragrance technologies,” said Jennifer Abril, executive director of IFRANA. “Perfumery is as much science as it is art and we will continue to bring to the market unique and safe scent creations that improve people’s lives.”
The US-based coalition supports science-backed federal legislation that would strengthen US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) oversight of the industry, increase transparency and enhance existing consumer safeguards.The industry has been in discussions with members of Congress to encourage introduction of such a bill.
The Alliance also includes the Professional Beauty Association (PBA), Independent Cosmetic Manufacturers & Distributors (ICMAD), Direct Selling Association (DSA) and the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC).
