Mood Benefits of Fragrance

IFF developed an interest in aromatherapy in the early 1980s as a potential means for imparting a stress-reducing benefit to fragrance.

In the traditions of aromatherapy, specific essential oils are stress reducing, whereas others are energizing, and still others can have either effect, depending on the user's state of mind/body interaction.

The Safety of Fragrance Materials

When one considers the long history of the use of fragrances, their broad distribution, and the extent of exposure to them, one is impressed with the very few examples of injury to humans that can be attributed to these materials, The only problems reported have been occasional rashes on the skin, and even more specificalIy, light-induced rashes. And yet there is a persistent myth in the cosmetic industry that any problem encountered in the safety testing of a new cosmetic must be attributable to the fragrance component.
