Suggest the FTC look at the results of SustainableFragrances2009 which takes on this complex issue this June.

Very nice way of separating the terms. My recent interest involves "green fragrances" for cleaners. Almost all fragrances currently in use today outside of products that feature EPA's DfE logo, have ingredients that are environmentally toxic. Great strides have been made after several years of resistance. This June the fragrance suppliers are meeting at a conference "Sustainable Fragrances for Cleaners" (www.thegreennose.blogspot.com) to learn how to utilize the fragrance module tool set up by the EPA. Yes there remains the need to set up clearer sustainability definitions for the supply chain but the work of closing the data gap for attributes and criteria is finished and perfumers have the tools for toxicity improvement.This industry has fears of a consumer backlash but is now taking a responsible position that manufacturers can adopt.
