Methanol is a type of alcohol that can be toxic at high levels. In fragrance manufacturing, very small trace amounts may be present as a natural impurity in denatured ethyl alcohol.

Recent industry discussions have raised awareness about methanol content in certain products, which is why brands are being asked to provide more transparency.

No. Symmetry Lab Parfums does not use methanol as an ingredient in its formulations.

However, trace levels may be detected as a natural impurity in denatured ethyl alcohol, which is commonly used in fine fragrances.

Yes. We have conducted independent third-party testing through internationally recognized laboratories, SGS and Intertek.

We are also currently awaiting a third independent result from PIPAC to further support our quality assurance process.

Testing was conducted on both our raw-material ethyl alcohol and finished perfume formulations.

Raw-material ethyl alcohol
• 0.73% methanol (SGS)
• 0.67% methanol (Intertek)

Finished perfume formulations
• 0.12% methanol (SGS)
• 0.18% methanol (Intertek)

These results reflect trace-level presence consistent with industry expectations for denatured alcohol.

Yes. The detected levels are within acceptable and regulated limits for cosmetic and fragrance applications.

They are significantly below levels associated with safety concerns.

Methanol can occur as a trace impurity during the production and denaturing process of ethyl alcohol.

This is a known and controlled aspect of cosmetic-grade alcohol used across the fragrance industry.

No. We maintain consistent sourcing standards and work with verified suppliers.

There have been no changes that would compromise product quality or safety.

In light of recent industry-wide concerns, we chose to take an additional step by conducting independent third-party testing.

This is part of our commitment to transparency and to reinforcing the confidence of our customers.

Our products are formulated using high-grade, compliant ingredients and follow standard industry practices.

The results of our testing further support the quality and safety of our formulations.

Yes. We are currently awaiting an additional result from PIPAC and will update this page once it becomes available.
