Safety & Certifications
At Airlux, safety is not an afterthought—it is foundational. Every fragrance we create undergoes rigorous assessment: technical performance for optimal diffusion and human safety for ambient inhalation in occupied spaces.
"Fragrance should enhance environments, not compromise them."
Our Safety Philosophy
Ambient scenting presents unique considerations that traditional perfumery does not address. When fragrance is diffused continuously into occupied spaces—homes, offices, hospitality environments—the parameters of safety shift fundamentally.
Unlike personal fragrance applied momentarily to skin, ambient scent is inhaled continuously over extended periods. This distinction demands a different approach to ingredient selection, concentration levels, and risk assessment.
Airlux was built on the understanding that creating atmospheric environments requires not just aesthetic mastery, but scientific rigor. Every decision—from raw material sourcing to final formulation—passes through the lens of human wellness.
The HumanSafe™ Framework
Beyond technical compatibility with cold-air diffusion, every Airlux ingredient is evaluated using HumanSafe™—a science-based ingredient safety assessment platform developed specifically for ambient scenting applications.
Unlike conventional ingredient rating systems that evaluate materials in isolation, HumanSafe™ performs multi-dimensional risk assessment that acknowledges a fundamental truth: safety is not absolute—it is situational.
Contextual Risk Assessment
Each ingredient is evaluated based on four critical dimensions
Exposure Duration
Continuous ambient diffusion vs. intermittent application. An ingredient safe for brief exposure may require different consideration for 8+ hours of continuous inhalation.
Exposure Amount
Concentration levels in air over extended time periods. HumanSafe™ models actual exposure scenarios rather than theoretical maximums.
Application Type
Inhaled fragrance vs. topical skin contact. Inhalation safety profiles differ significantly from dermal safety profiles.
Vulnerable Populations
Children, pets, elderly individuals, pregnant individuals, and those with sensitivities. We consider the most sensitive potential occupants.
The same ingredient may be entirely safe in one context and inappropriate in another. HumanSafe™ captures this nuance rather than applying blanket classifications.
Data Integration
HumanSafe™ synthesizes multiple authoritative sources for comprehensive safety assessment.
Peer-reviewed toxicological research and clinical studies
IFRA (International Fragrance Association) guidelines and restrictions
REACH (EU Registration, Evaluation, Authorization of Chemicals) data
California Proposition 65 chemical listings
EPA and OSHA exposure limit guidelines
Proprietary exposure modeling specific to cold-air diffusion environments
Strict Exclusion Criteria
All Airlux fragrances are formulated with human and environmental safety as non-negotiable requirements. We maintain absolute exclusions.
No Parabens
Synthetic preservatives linked to potential endocrine disruption are never used in any Airlux formulation.
No Phthalates
Plasticizing chemicals commonly used to extend fragrance longevity are completely excluded from our formulations.
No IFRA-Restricted Materials
Any ingredient restricted or prohibited by the International Fragrance Association is automatically excluded.
No Elevated-Risk Ingredients
Any ingredient flagged by HumanSafe™ for elevated ambient inhalation risk is excluded—even if permitted by industry standards.
Beyond Exclusions
Our commitment extends beyond simply avoiding harmful ingredients. We actively select materials with established safety profiles for continuous inhalation, prioritizing ingredients with comprehensive toxicological data and proven safety in ambient applications.
Unprecedented Transparency
To our knowledge, Airlux is among the few ambient fragrance companies providing complete ingredient disclosure for every fragrance. We believe informed choice requires complete information.
Full Ingredient Lists
Every fragrance includes a complete list of all ingredients—not hidden behind proprietary "fragrance" labels or trade secret exemptions.
Function Disclosure
Each ingredient is listed with its function in the formulation—whether it provides scent, stability, solubility, or performance benefits.
Source Documentation
We document the origin and nature of each ingredient—natural, synthetic, or nature-identical—with complete traceability.
"This unprecedented transparency reflects our commitment to informed choice and environmental accountability."
Compliance & Certifications
Airlux formulations meet or exceed the requirements of major international regulatory frameworks governing fragrance safety and chemical use.
IFRA Compliant
All fragrances comply with the International Fragrance Association's standards for safe usage levels, including the latest 51st Amendment restrictions and guidelines.
REACH Registered
Compliant with EU REACH regulations (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) for all materials used in European markets.
California Prop 65 Reviewed
All ingredients are evaluated against California Proposition 65 listings, with full disclosure of any listed substances when present above threshold levels.
Testing & Quality Assurance
Every Airlux fragrance undergoes comprehensive testing before release—evaluating not just olfactory quality, but safety performance, diffusion behavior, and long-term stability.
Pre-Release Testing Protocol
Ingredient Verification
Certificate of Analysis (COA) review for all raw materials, confirming purity and specification compliance.
Formulation Testing
Viscosity, clarity, and stability assessment under varying temperature and humidity conditions.
Diffusion Performance
Output consistency testing across ELIXIR 3X™ systems to ensure reliable delivery.
Accelerated Aging
Stability testing to predict shelf-life and identify any performance degradation over time.
Residue Evaluation
Analysis of atomizer and chamber residue formation to ensure clean, long-term operation.
Animal Testing Policy
Airlux does not conduct animal testing on finished products or ingredients. We rely exclusively on established safety data, in-vitro testing methods, and human panel assessments where appropriate.
