The Fragrance Foundation forms ‘indie’ fragrance committee
The Fragrance Foundation has announced it is to form a new committee dedicated to developing the recognition of ‘indie’ fragrance brands and their creators.
Do you use products containing “fragrances.” The tricky thing about them is that manufacturers get a pass on listing the ingredients they use in their fragrances, on the grounds that they are proprietary. This gives rise to the suspicion that all the nasty ingredients in their products that they don’t want consumers to know about get included under this “fragrance” umbrella. I can understand that manufacturers want to protect their trade secrets. And I also appreciate that transparency is vital, these days, given the general movement away from blind faith in science-in-the-cause-of corporate-interests. So what to do? Personally, I do not use any skin care products that contain “fragrances.” Maybe the industry can come up with a more consumer-friendly way to handle this issue?
