Developments in IFRA's

Furocoumarins policy

The policy update process has been extensive, engaging various stakeholders across the supply chain, including suppliers, the fragrance industry, and customers. The objective has been to develop a solution that enables the safe, ongoing use of these materials. 

IFRA's Updated Furocoumarins Policy

Advancing consumer safety: IFRA's updated furocoumarins policy

The revised IFRA policy on furocoumarins, a key feature of the upcoming 52nd Amendment, focuses on enhancing safety in the fragrance industry. Developed over years, it is built  on three critical workstreams: an analytical method for quantifying individual furocoumarins, identifying specific markers, and updating evidence for maximum thresholds. 


The policy introduces two changes to the IFRA Standards: the removal of some individual oils Standards and the renaming of one Standard. It also defines eight furocoumarin markers and sets three maximum threshold levels for skin contact products.
