The United Kingdom boasts an esteemed perfume production history. NewArabia meets these high standards by meeting stringent regulatory body requirements that protect both the environment and consumers. At NewArabia, all fragrances meet these stringent UK Regulations on Perfume Ingredients for safety and quality!
UK Perfume Regulations
Perfume ingredients in the UK are subject to regulations from multiple bodies, including both the EU Cosmetics Regulation (until 2021) and now UK Cosmetics Regulation. These rules set limits on which ingredients may be included in perfume formulations in terms of quantities allowed and safety; ingredients must not cause allergic reactions or damage the environment in any way.
One key organization responsible for setting these standards is the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), providing guidelines to manufacturers to guarantee compliance!
Restricted and Banned Ingredients
Some perfume ingredients have been restricted or banned due to potential health risks. Synthetic musks and phthalates in particular have been restricted due to their harmful impacts on both humans and the environment; substances that cause skin sensitization or allergies as well as being classified as carcinogenic have also been heavily restricted or outright banned from inclusion.
At NewArabia, our goal is to use only certified fragrance ingredients that comply with stringent regulatory standards. Our collection features safe and ethically sourced components ranging from synthetic compounds to rare natural extracts.
Labelling and Transparency
In the UK, fragrance products must be clearly labeled according to their ingredients, including any potential allergens such as limonene or linalool that exceed certain threshold levels and cause allergy reactions in consumers. By being transparent about what they apply to their skin and making informed choices based on this knowledge.
At NewArabia, we believe in transparency by complying with labeling requirements to provide customers with confidence that what is advertised accurately reflects what lies within each bottle. Our customers can rely on what they see on the label!
Ethical Sourcing and Sustainability
These attributes have become ever more crucial elements in the perfume industry. Ingredients such as Ouds - prized for their deep woody aroma - need to be responsibly harvested to not harm the environment in their production process. NewArabia prides itself in offering Ouds harvested ethically according to UK regulations to ensure sustainability in every step of our production process.
Final Thoughts
Understanding and adhering to UK Regulations on Perfume Ingredients are vitally important when creating high-quality and safe products, including ouds. At NewArabia we adhere to these standards while creating our fragrances with care and responsibility in mind!
