"The science supporting the ongoing safe use of fragrance ingredients begins with the RIFM Database," Sachse-Vasquez said. "This event will provide fragrance safety stakeholders curious about access and/or membership as well as longtime RIFM Members an opportunity to discover the full power of the Database and meet and interact with the dedicated, knowledgeable staff who ensure it reflects the most current information that ultimately informs RIFM's safety evaluations."
RIFM launched its Database in 1983 to organize a growing body of safe use science.
"Data is just one facet of the platform," explained RIFM President Anne Marie Api , Ph.D., Fellow ATS. "RIFM houses many additional resources in the Database, including tools used by RIFM science staff and member companies, including the Toxicity Data Search Engine tool."

The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials assesses the safety of fragrance ingredients by the most current, internationally accepted guidelines—and has done so since its founding in 1966. RIFM's fragrance ingredient Safety Assessment program draws from its comprehensive database of over 80,000 references, that include approximately 200,000 human health and environmental endpoints, and scientific literature. All RIFM's findings are reviewed and approved by an independent panel of academic experts, The Expert Panel for Fragrance Safety (fragrancesafetypanel.org), with no ties to the fragrance industry, and submitted for peer-reviewed publication in the scientific literature. In addition, all of RIFM's published Safety Assessments and Research are free to the public via https://fragrancematerialsafetyresource.elsevier.com .
