Safe scenting solutions for your business

Why does fragrance safety matter to your business? The wellbeing of your employees and customers is always your top priority, and you need partners who share that commitment. Choosing a scenting provider may bring questions about fragrance safety, including concerns about allergens or chemical ingredients. At Initial Hygiene, we take these concerns very seriously.

From careful ingredient selection to our service delivery, our dedication to rigorous industry safety standards, strict internal policies and ingredient transparency demonstrates our promise to deliver scenting solutions you can trust.

What makes our fragrances safe?

The fragrance compounds we use in our solutions are the same types of ingredients commonly found in everyday products like toiletries, cosmetics, fine fragrances and cleaning products, all of which are used safely in various settings.

The key to safety for any scent, whether natural or artificial, is controlled exposure. While anything can be harmful if concentrations are too high, our scenting devices are specifically designed to minimise potential exposure by carefully diluting fragrances to low levels in the air. For example, in environments like hotels and retail spaces where people spend extended time indoors, our scenting systems are calibrated to deliver a gentle, even diffusion. This ensures the fragrance is effective and welcoming without ever being intrusive or overpowering.

Additionally, only our trained technicians come into contact with the fragrances in their concentrated form and always use appropriate safety measures during your service.

What you won’t find in our fragrances

We’re committed to your business’ safety at every stage of fragrance production, ensuring our fragrances are free from any substances that could cause ethical or safety concerns. In adherence to our Global Fragrance Safety Policy’s strict ingredient controls, our fragrances and fragranced products do not contain:

* None of our fragrances or products containing fragrances are classified as:

• Respiratory sensitisers — substances that, when inhaled, can trigger an allergic reaction in the respiratory system
• Substances that cause acute respiratory toxicity — this refers to lung damage and inflammation caused by inhaling harmful substances, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath and chest tightness
• Carcinogenic, mutagenic and reproductive toxicants (CMRs) — chemicals that are considered particularly dangerous due to their potential to cause cancer, genetic mutations or reproductive harm
• Substances that cause specific target organ toxicity (single or repeated exposure) — this refers to non-lethal, organ-specific effects that occur after a single or repeated exposure to a substance

**Important note: while we never directly add these classified substances, they may sometimes occur naturally in fragrance mixtures. In these rare cases, we conduct a thorough safety assessment to ensure the final product is safe.
