Fragrance Safety & IFRA Information

Our safety approach

Supplier identity alone does not establish that a finished product meets a particular use limit. Product-specific supplier documentation and the intended application must be reviewed together.

About IFRA Standards

The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) Standards restrict, prohibit, or set specifications for certain fragrance materials. IFRA does not certify individual products, and Poetic Scents does not represent itself or its finished products as “IFRA certified.”

Before a product is represented as conforming to an IFRA use limit, its current supplier documentation must be reviewed for the exact fragrance oil, finished-product type, and intended use. A Certificate of Conformity does not replace a finished-product safety assessment or applicable federal, state, or local requirements.

Records maintained by fragrance and use

• Current supplier and fragrance-oil identification
• Safety Data Sheet (SDS), when supplied
• IFRA Certificate of Conformity, when applicable and supplied
• Allergen or ingredient disclosures supplied with the oil
• Applicable IFRA category and maximum use level
• Finished-product formula, batch, and intended-use records

Use fragrance products safely

• Use only as directed and for the product’s stated purpose.
• For external use only. Avoid eyes and other sensitive areas.
• Patch test before broader skin use.
• Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
• Keep away from children, pets, flames, heat, and sparks.
• Do not ingest.
