You want air care that smells real, performs hard, and passes audits. Same. Let’s keep it straight: “natural” isn’t a vibe; it’s a definition. “Sustainable” isn’t a sticker; it’s a system. Below is a no-fluff tour through the standards, the tech, and the quick wins—plus exactly where I’Scent slots in to help you launch faster and cleaner.
ISO 9235 defines “natural” in perfumery. That means materials obtained from plants or animals by physical processes (distillation, expression, extraction) or enzymatic/microbial—no chemically modified synthetics. If you say “natural fragrance oils,” your blend needs to stick to essential oils, isolates from natural sources, and natural extracts.
Why it matters: claim risk is real. Align your copy, COAs, and PIFs with the ISO language. Keep your internal glossary tight so sales and R&D don’t talk past each other.
Formulator notes (shop-floor talk):
You already know IFRA is the global safety baseline. Add to that the expanded EU allergens list (new items to disclose on labels/INCI when above thresholds). If you sell in California, factor in ingredient disclosure for home/air care.
Takeaway: Build transparency into the spec. Make it boringly clear.
Labeling & Disclosure—fast checklist
| Region/Rule | What to watch | Practical step |
|---|---|---|
| IFRA Standards | Maximum use levels by category | Keep latest IFRA certificate for every SKU |
| EU Fragrance Allergens | Expanded disclosure list in labels | Run allergen calc per batch; flag label triggers |
| VOC/State Rules | Consumer product VOC limits by form | Align aerosol vs. pump vs. gel strategies |
Tip: compress your SOP into three gates: Raw material gate → IFRA/allergen calc → Artwork check. No gate, no ship.
Classical polymer microcapsules for “24/7 release”? That’s getting phased out in the EU. Don’t panic—just pivot.
What works instead:
Ops tip: update your “long-lasting” claim to “long-lasting without microplastics.” That line converts.
Masking has limits. Cyclodextrins grab stink molecules and drop vapor pressure, so rooms actually smell cleaner, not louder.
Use cases: pet areas, kitchens, fitness rooms, soft furnishings.
Build: pair a malodor counteractant system (cyclodextrin + acid buffer) with a natural accord (e.g., citrus-herbal or airy woods) for a “clean first, then mood” experience.
DPG and alcohol aren’t your only bases. Bio-based glyceryl derivatives (Augeo-type) bring low odor, great solubility, and a smoother diffusion curve—ideal for reed diffusers and non-pressurized mists.
Bench notes:
If you’re in aerosols, low-GWP HFOs change the math on footprint and compliance. HFO-1234ze offers strong spray quality with minimal climate load and fits many VOC regimes.
Engineering notes: run actuator/orifice A/B tests; compare particle size distribution vs. legacy propellants; record “spray feel” and sillage in a closed-room panel.
Fermentation doesn’t kill the “natural vibe.” It stabilizes it. Ferment-derived woody, amber, or musky notes lower land impact and reduce crop volatility.
Why you’ll like it: cleaner supply, tighter specs, and consistent headspace across seasons.
Where to use: hotel lobbies, premium home diffusers, high-traffic areas where batch-to-batch shifts get noticed.
Sustainability isn’t a press release; it’s a number. Move your creative brief from “eco nice-to-have” to measurable:
Copy that converts: “Built with renewable and upcycled aroma ingredients; transparent allergen report; designed for responsible air care.”
Don’t cling to a single forecast. Use a range and move. Here’s a simple table you can use in decks.
| Metric | Indicative Range | What it means for planning |
|---|---|---|
| Global Air Care CAGR (to ~2030–2035) | ~3%–6%+ | Grow, but defend margins; tier your portfolio |
| Share shift toward “natural look & feel” | High and rising | Push ISO-aligned naturals + biotech support |
| Aerosol mix | Stable to slightly down in strict VOC markets | Offer both pressurized and pump/trigger |
| Diffuser & gel formats | Up | Invest in bio-based bases and wick systems |
Yes, numbers swing by methodology. Use a range on purpose. Better truthy than flashy.
| Trend | Evidence-style pointer | What you do next | I’Scent help |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISO 9235 “natural” | Natural oils + isolates, no chemical modification | Align claims + material list to ISO wording | We curate ISO-fit palettes; natural isolate sourcing |
| IFRA & allergens | Disclosure thresholds trigger labels | Build auto-calc into artwork workflow | We issue IFRA certs per category on every batch |
| Microplastics restriction | Poly microcapsules restricted | Switch to cyclodextrin/biopolymer/pro-fragrance | We’ve got microplastic-free long-last systems |
| Bio-based solvents | Low odor, smooth diffusion | Replace DPG in reeds and room sprays | We run wick studies and stability at pilot scale |
| Low-GWP propellants | HFO-1234ze works for fine spray | Migrate aerosol SKUs with actuator tuning | We co-test spray quality & scent integrity |
| Biotech notes | Consistent woody/amber profiles | Blend naturals + ferment notes for stability | We map headspace to your brand brief |
Different jobs need different tools. Let’s pair format to task.

Hotels don’t want “another citrus.” They want brand memory. That means a clear top note (catch), a distinct heart (signature), and a comfortable base (linger). It also means audits, 24/7 uptime, and no stained marble.
If you run hospitality, build briefs around: lobby airflow, material finishes, local rules, and guest journey (entrance → elevator → corridor).

Diffusers live or die on throw curve and wick compatibility. We test with fiber and rattan, measure loss per day, and adjust polarity so the first week isn’t a blast that then drops to nothing.

Candles add heat and wax chemistry to the party. Make sure your air-care family keeps a coherent brand signature across wax and ambient. Watch flash point, CT/HT (cold/hot throw), and sooting. We tune accords to soy, paraffin, or blends, then back-translate the same identity into diffusers and mists.
