New IFRA info?

[Carly B]

I was talking to one of the vendors I use about the IFRA information. They said something about updating because of "the new information that needs changed by the beginning of 2022." Any idea what he was talking about??

It might have to do with this

There is a new IFRA 49th amendment that is due to take affect from next year, it has reclassified products and also reduced some of the maximum percentages used. I know it affects a number of products but the biggest one (or rather the one that has bee talked about a lot) is the changes to diffusers and the max fragrance that can be used.

FYI, According to what I read, the effective date of the new IFRA categories for NEW product creations was May 10, 2021. However, old existing product creations must comply by May 10, 2022.
