I look forward to advancing our scientific and technical dialogue with the association and its diverse member companies on the safe use of fragrance in finished cosmetics products."

Ahmed. "We thank Dr. Katz for her strong leadership at FDA's Office of Cosmetics and Colors and look forward to supporting the Office of Cosmetics and Colors' goal of assuring the safety of our nation's cosmetics."
