Does orris absolute require an IFRA allergen declaration?
Yes. Like all natural essential oils and absolutes, orris absolute is supplied with an IFRA-compliant allergen declaration. Under the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 Annex III and IFRA guidance, the fragrance allergens naturally present must be disclosed when the finished product crosses the declaration threshold.
Allergen Handling
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Allergen list | Natural allergens quantified by GC (e.g., linalool, limonene, geraniol and other trace constituents if present) |
| Declaration | Per-batch allergen report in IFRA/EU format |
| IFRA standard | Usage recommendation within IFRA Category limits for the finished fragrance |
| Quantitative GC-MS | Trace-level analysis to the 0.001% reporting level |
- The declaration is issued per batch, because natural allergen levels vary slightly with harvest
- We also recommend maximum use levels consistent with IFRA's current Amended Standards for the fragrance category
- For skin-contact products, keep the recommended in-use level to stay safely under the 3% EU cosmetic allergen labeling threshold
Request the allergen report together with the COA — both are generated from the same batch data.
