Why This Score

Linalyl Acetate (5.0%) is a well-established fragrance ingredient with a favorable safety score of 6.5/10, commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products.
Oxacyclohexadecenone (7.5%) carries a solid ISS of 7.0/10 (Grade A), indicating acceptable safety margins at its concentration in this formulation.
The formula contains two synthetic polycyclic compounds at elevated concentrations (Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes at 15.0% and an unresolved compound at 12.5%) that require standard fragrance patch testing before first use, particularly for sensitive or reactive skin.

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 Bergamote 22 safe for daily use?+

Bergamote 22 can be used daily by most people; however, we recommend a 24-hour patch test on a small skin area before regular application. If you have sensitive skin, reactive skin conditions, or a history of fragrance sensitivity, consult a dermatologist first. Discontinue use if redness, itching, or irritation develops.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The primary ingredients of concern are the synthetic polycyclic compounds that make up 27.5% of the top five ingredients. These are permitted in cosmetics but may trigger sensitization in some individuals. Linalyl Acetate, while generally safe, is a known fragrance allergen for a small subset of users. Always review the full ingredient list if you have known fragrance allergies.

What does a PSS of 6.6/10 (Grade B) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent assessment of overall safety based on ingredient profiles and concentrations. A Grade B score (6.6/10) indicates the product meets safety standards but is not in the highest safety tier. It reflects moderate risk—acceptable for general use but requiring standard precautions like patch testing, especially for vulnerable populations.

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.
