Why This Score

Hexyl Cinnamal (5.0%) scores high on safety (ISS 8.0/10) and is a widely used fragrance ingredient with established safety data.
Linalool (2.5%) is a naturally occurring terpene commonly found in lavender and citrus; it carries an ISS grade of A at this concentration level.
Hexyl Cinnamal and Linalool are known sensitizers in fragrance formulations; individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies should perform a patch test before full application.

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 Brown Sugar safe for daily use?+

Brown Sugar's PSS Score of 7.1/10 (Grade A-) suggests it is generally safe for daily application by the general population. However, frequency and individual tolerance vary. Those with sensitive skin, fragrance allergies, or a history of contact dermatitis should start with limited exposure and monitor for any irritation. Always follow manufacturer application guidelines.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

Hexyl Cinnamal and Linalool are both recognized fragrance allergens and may trigger reactions in sensitive individuals. If you have known allergies to fragrance compounds or a history of contact dermatitis, review the full ingredient list with a dermatologist before use. A patch test on a small area of skin is recommended for first-time users.

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

The PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent assessment of overall product safety based on ingredient concentrations and individual safety profiles. A score of 7.1/10 with Grade A- indicates above-average safety performance. This does not mean the product is risk-free; it reflects a favorable safety profile relative to similar fragrance products, but individual reactions are always possible.
