If you have no scientific background you might be worried reading the fragrance section of the website and the scores given to several products. From low hazard (0) to high risk (10). But very soon I noticed that it's not about information and safety but about manipulation.
One example:
The product "HEALING-SCENTS LEMONGRASS-TANGERINE BODY MIST" is given 0 - low hazard.
But with if you read the list of ingredients of this non european product you can see: tangerine oil, lemon grass oil, clovebud oil, nutmeg oil.
If your concern is safety as this association pretends... it's rather strange that this concoction of citral, eugenol, isoeugenol, methyl eugenol, limonene, linalool .... is O hazard when other products, labelled according to UE legislation are considered 10 - high hazard. It is the case of Acqua Allegoria Orange Magnifica, a product similar, at least at the level of allergens and other so called safety problems (citrus and spicy).
Other examples like this, based only on the information given on the website, shows how un reliable the scores are, at least for the fragrances.
The safety of the consumer is not allways the final goal... sometime c'est juste un prétexte.
As a consumer, if my real concern was the safety of my products, I would have chosen the Lemongrass - Tangerine body mist in stead of Acqua Allegoria. But in the end.... I'm not safe at all. Au contraire!

Ah, this is a nice one. I remember this website since we discussed it at someone's livejournal who found all her favourite perfumes to be "poisons".
Another funniest thing that they count "fragrance" as a certain individual component with 8 risk score.
What I also don't understand is how a total product might score 10 if its individual components get not more than 8. A sophisticated arithmetics.
