ICCS is delighted to welcome the China Association of Fragrance, Flavour and Cosmetic Industries (CAFFCI) as a member of ICCS. This milestone reflects the strong and growing commitment shared by ICCS and CAFFCI to advancing animal-free safety assessment through scientific collaboration, innovation, and international partnership. Building on the ICCS–CAFFCI Memorandum of Understanding, our organizations are already working together to expand access to ICCS Best Practice Guidance documents within China, supporting the broader adoption of modern, science-based, animal-free approaches to cosmetic and personal care product safety assessment. We are honored to deepen our collaboration with CAFFCI and look forward to the continued progress that can be achieved together in strengthening global best practices and advancing the future of animal-free safety science.
