The Fragrance Materials Association’s fall lunch meeting in Newark, New Jersey afforded the industry an opportunity to hear from and directly address an NGO representative on topics of fragrance safety and ingredient disclosure. During his interactive talk, Tom Neltner of the Sierra Club’s National Toxics Committee noted that, ideally, his organization wants full ingredient disclosure on all fragrances. That said, he conceded that an alternative may exist that protects intellectual property. Read P&F magazine’s interview with Neltner here.
