No health or safety risk to
consumers, guests or workers
IFRA/RIFM compliant, Hyscent fragrances do not contain any TLV
restricted chemicals and at such low concentrations in the air
pose no health or safety risk to consumers, guests or workers.
What is IFRA?
The IFRA (International Fragrance Regulatory
Association) Standards form the basis for the
globally accepted and recognized risk management
system for the safe use of fragrance ingredients
and are partof the IFRA Code of Practice. This is
the self-regulating system of the industry, based
on risk assessments carried out by an Independent
Expert Panel. The Expert Panel is made up of
renowned independent experts from the fields
such as dermatology, toxicology, pathology and
environmental sciences. Their role is to evaluate
the data on a fragrance to see if it supports the
current use level, to make sure that there is no
risk for the consumer. In cases where the safety
assessment does not support the current use,
the Panel instructs IFRA to issue a Standard either
restricting or banning a material.
What is RIFM?
RIFM (Research Institute For Fragrance Materials)
is the international scientific authority for the
safe use of fragrance materials. RIFM generates,

safety assessment of fragrance raw materials

Safety & quality assurance
For the Hyscent fragrance ingredient palette, we ensure
that any fragrance materials our perfumers use meet the
Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) and the
International Fragrance Association (IFRA) standards.
Hyscent perfumers adhere to the standards set by the Research Institute for
Fragrance Materials (RIFM), which has the most comprehensive database
worldwide of safety evaluations for fragrance materials. It’s an industry
organization, and it uses an independent expert panel. Industry safety
standards are maintained by IFRA, using data from RIFM.
No harmful chemicals

How are Hyscent
fragrances made?
A typical Hyscent fragrance could have as
many as 50 different ingredients. Hyscent
Perfumers combine fragrance ingredients
to create a scent. They select from our
approved palette of materials, which can
include ingredients that are:
• Naturally occurring, meaning extracted from plants
and flowers
• Nature-identical, meaning synthetic materials used to take
the place of naturals where allergens within the naturals
can cause serious human side effects. In addition, they
are used to provide consistent quality and safety, but are
made in a laboratory restrict the use of more than 170
substances due to their chemical profile.
