Some of the science we plan to highlight include:

• The clustering of fragrance ingredients into similar safety profiles
• Ensuring the safe use of Natural Complex Substances (NCS, or “Naturals”)
• RIFM’s Environmental Framework 2.0
• New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) focusing on alternatives to animal testing

“This year’s symposium will provide fragrance safety stakeholders worldwide the opportunity to meet and interact with RIFM scientists and staff as well as several of RIFM’s collaborators working to ensure that the world can safely enjoy their favorite fragranced products,” explained RIFM’s Safety Assessment Manager, Danielle Botelho, Ph.D.

“Collaboration, strategy, and global solutions are the three keywords that drive this year’s event, setting the tone for a powerful discussion to shape the future of fragrance safety,” said RIFM President Anne Marie Api, Ph.D. “Everyone from those creating fragrances to regulators and consumers can ask questions and gain insights into the science supporting the safe use of fragranced products.”
