You may occasionally see a “Reformulation Notice” on some of our fragrance oils.
Here’s a simple explanation of what that means and what (if anything) you need to do.
Across the EU and UK, chemical regulations are evolving under the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability (CSS).
Some commonly used fragrance ingredients are being reclassified under updated rules.
If an ingredient becomes restricted, suppliers must replace or remove it to keep products legally compliant.
So reformulation is about regulatory compliance — not because a product has suddenly become unsafe.
Our manufacturer has confirmed there is no safety concern at normal fragrance use levels.
Rather than waiting until ingredients are formally restricted, we’re updating fragrances well in advance to make things easier for our customers.
Think of it as future-proofing, not a forced or urgent change.
In most cases, you won’t notice a difference. Reformulations are designed to keep the same fragrance character, strength, and performance.
Very slight variation can occasionally occur, similar to normal batch-to-batch differences.
Is my current oil still OK to use and sell?
Yes — completely fine and compliant.
Do I need to change my labels?
No. You can update labels naturally when you next reorder.
Is there a sell-through deadline?
No. You can simply use your current stock as normal.
From 01/02/2026, some fragrances began transitioning to an updated formulation.
During this period, orders may contain either the original or reformulated version depending on stock rotation.
Updated Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and compliance documents are uploaded whenever a fragrance is reformulated.
If you need paperwork for a specific batch, just contact us with the fragrance name and batch number.
If you have any questions about documentation, IFRA use levels, or batch identification, our team is happy to help.

These updates follow ongoing EU/UK regulatory developments under the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability (CSS). Reformulated versions use assessed alternative ingredients to maintain authenticity, stability, and compliance.
