Honestly, I do not see how this can be true unless the source of the natural fragrances are deemed protected under CBD, CITES, CMS, Ramsar or the World Heritage Convention.IFRA has compiled a list of prohibitive naturally aromatic materials that in effect, minimise the ability of natural perfumers to create a wide range of perfumes. This is the claim. Wondering how true this is?

IFRA has rules for more than just perfumer's. Their main objective is to determine the safety of fragrant petrochemicals produced for consumer goods. The IFRA also wouldn't outright ban a fragrance compound unless one of its Ordinary Member Organizations did so first.
Hope this helps
I agree, it serves multinational companies interest and not the citizens, so when a regulation is made, their chemicals sell more, i think they want to eliminate competition from small companies, especially natural ones.
When those companies gain so much money and power a huge conflict of interest occurs that is going unchecked, their greed affects the health of all citizens. I remember Greenpeace analyzed many synthetic perfumes and found so many contained hormone altering chemicals that have a negative effect on health.
When natural ingredients are used, the side effects are generally beneficial rather than having any negative impacts on the body.
This list of the banned oils seems a bit ridiculous to me... Tea? I drink it every day. Horseradish? I eat it frequently.
If those cause an allergic reaction in some small percentage of people, it should be mentioned in the ingredient list of the product... But banning it all from the use in the perfume industry? Cmon... With this logic they can ban almost everything.![]()
