Fragrance Standards & Safety
At Scentia, fragrance quality starts with documentation. We maintain supplier-issued regulatory and safety documentation for our fragrance formulations, including IFRA Certificates of Conformity, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and applicable California Air Resources Board (CARB) documentation.
Our Fragrance Documentation
Our fragrance supplier provides documentation for individual fragrance formulations. Because fragrance compositions and permitted uses can vary, Scentia maintains formulation-specific documentation rather than relying on a single blanket certificate.
IFRA Standards
IFRA Certificates of Conformity assess a fragrance mixture against applicable International Fragrance Association (IFRA) Standards and identify restrictions or maximum use levels where applicable. The documentation we maintain identifies the fragrance formulation, applicable IFRA categories, and permitted concentration levels.
IFRA documentation is application-specific and does not replace a comprehensive safety assessment. Customers should always use fragrance products for their intended purpose and follow product directions.
Cold-Air & Waterless Diffusion
IFRA's application framework includes air-delivery systems and scent-delivery systems using dry-air technology within its fragrancing categories. Scentia oils are offered for fragrance diffusion in compatible waterless and cold-air scenting systems. Always follow the directions for your diffuser and fragrance oil.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
Safety Data Sheets provide technical information about a fragrance formulation, including handling, storage, hazard classification, first-aid measures, and other regulatory information. Scentia maintains supplier-issued SDS documentation for its fragrance formulations. SDS documents are available upon request where appropriate.
California CARB Documentation
Scentia also maintains applicable supplier-issued California Air Resources Board (CARB) documentation for fragrance formulations. These statements address the formulation's status under the cited CARB fragrance-material definition. CARB documentation is separate from California Proposition 65 requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Scentia fragrance oils IFRA compliant?

What is an IFRA certificate?
An IFRA Certificate of Conformity is documentation assessing a fragrance mixture against applicable IFRA Standards. It can specify permitted applications and maximum use levels. It should not be interpreted as a blanket safety certification for every possible use.
Does Scentia have Safety Data Sheets?
Yes. Scentia maintains supplier-issued Safety Data Sheets for its fragrance formulations. SDS documents contain technical handling, storage, hazard and regulatory information and are available upon request where appropriate.
What does CARB documentation mean?
CARB refers to the California Air Resources Board. Scentia maintains applicable supplier-issued statements addressing fragrance formulations under the cited California CARB fragrance-material definition. CARB documentation should not be confused with California Proposition 65.
Can Scentia fragrance oils be used in waterless diffusers?
Scentia fragrance oils are offered for use with compatible waterless and cold-air fragrance diffusers. Follow the instructions for your specific diffuser and use fragrance oils only as directed.
