Frequently Asked Questions
Is Inez & Vinooddh safe for daily use?+
For most users, yes—the Grade B rating suggests acceptable safety for regular application. However, because one ingredient (the azulene derivative) has a lower safety score of 4.0/10, individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities should perform a patch test on inner arm skin first and monitor for irritation over 24 hours.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The azulene derivative at 5.0% concentration has limited published safety data in fragrance contexts and carries the lowest individual safety score in this formula. Ethyl vanillin, while safe, is present at relatively high levels (18.8% total) and may trigger sensitivities in some individuals. Discontinue use if redness, itching, or burning occurs.
What does a PSS of 6.1/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The Product Safety Score (PSS) is an independent assessment of overall fragrance safety based on ingredient profiles and concentration data. A Grade B rating (6.1/10) falls in the moderate range—acceptable for most consumers but with some caution flags. This is neither top-tier (Grade A) nor problematic (Grade C or lower), and suggests typical fragrance safety practices should be followed.
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.
