Fragrance application in consumer products

The creation of a fragrance is one of the classic examples of the blending of science and art. The development of a fragrance is controlled by both the chemistry of the materials involved and the discriminating nose of the perfumer. To create the correct fragrance for a cosmetic or household product, a number of disciplines must come together. In many cases, fragrance application laboratories can help to combine these disciplines in a creative fragrance company.

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. Only systematic screening of all of the materials used in fragrances by an independent scientic body, and systematic and voluntary conscientious response by the industry to eliminate ingredients shown to cause harm can dispel this myth.
