Home Fragrances Product Safety

Someone shared details of what air wick fragrances contain and its listed below. These things are advertised such that one is made to believe we are buying herbal, plant oil based fragrances while reality is different.

Dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether (aka dipropylene glycol methyl ether), a chemical that a federal database describes as “a colorless liquid with a weak odor.”
1,7,7-Trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one
Linalyl acetate
Terpineol 1,1-Dimethyl-2-phenylethyl acetate
Hexyl salicylate

Is there a standards body for this to ensure people aren't being fooled? more

Dear Harsimran: PAFAI's definition of "Natural" is so weak that many of the Today's NATURAL products are strictly NOT NATURAL at all..!!.. Having been associated with the Flavour Fragrance field for over three decades, I can tell you that. DPA is good odourless diluent and is a petro derivative. How can it be Natural..??.. ( unless, you say that it comes from mother earth and hence..!!..) Please don't get carried away by false claims AND OUR ENFORCING AGENCIES LIKE PAFAI, TRAI FSSAI etc ARE TOOTHLESS, UNLIKE FDA IN USA...!!.. more  
Herbal product is better than every thing. more  
Perfumes & Fragrances Association of India, in short, PAFAI, Mumbai more
