Why This Score

Contains Ambroxan (7.5%), a widely used synthetic fragrance compound with a strong safety profile (ISS 7.0/10) that provides woody depth and longevity.
Linalool (5.0%) is a naturally derived terpene alcohol commonly found in floral and woody fragrances, rated ISS 7.0/10 with established safety data in cosmetic use.
Two polycyclic compounds (Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes and 2-t-Butylcyclohexyl Acetate) make up 30% of the formula; both are Grade A rated but concentrate levels warrant awareness for sensitive individuals or those with fragrance sensitivities.

Scores are calculated by HumanSafe™ — an independent third-party platform — using peer-reviewed toxicology sources, regulatory databases, and HumanSafe's Mood Architecture™.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bamboo safe for daily use?+

Yes, Bamboo is formulated to Grade A- safety standards and is suitable for daily application by most people. However, individual tolerance varies—those with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies should perform a patch test on a small area first. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The two largest ingredients—Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes and 2-t-Butylcyclohexyl Acetate—are synthetic woody compounds. Both carry Grade A safety ratings, but individuals prone to fragrance sensitivity, contact dermatitis, or respiratory irritation should be aware of their high combined concentration (30%). Linalool can occasionally trigger sensitivity in susceptible users.

What does a PSS of 7.1/10 (Grade A-) mean?+

The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 7.1/10 reflects an independent safety assessment across toxicology, irritancy, and allergenicity data. Grade A- indicates the product poses minimal safety concern for the general population under normal use conditions. It is not risk-free for all individuals, particularly those with known sensitivities.

The HumanSafe™ Difference

Most safety tools rate ingredients in isolation — one score regardless of concentration, context, or how the product is used. We assess at actual use concentration.
