Why This Score

Primary ingredients (Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes at 20.0% and related polycyclic compounds) have Individual Safety Scores of 6.5–7.0/10, indicating established safety profiles in fragrance use.
The woody spicy fragrance family and MEI mood profile (Fresh) align with conventional consumer fragrance expectations, with no restricted or banned substances detected.
Javanese Patchouli contains multiple polycyclic synthetic musks and woody compounds at relatively high concentrations (51.2% combined). While individually rated moderate-to-good, long-term skin contact or sensitive skin exposure warrants patch testing 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 Javanese Patchouli safe for daily use?+

For most consumers, yes—the PSS Grade B rating and individual ingredient scores support daily wear. However, fragrance tolerance varies. If you have sensitive skin, reactive skin conditions, or a history of fragrance reactions, perform a 24–48 hour patch test on inner forearm before full application. Discontinue if irritation occurs.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The product is primarily composed of polycyclic synthetic woody compounds (Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, Acetylcedrene, and related molecules). These are established fragrance ingredients with moderate-to-good safety ratings. No banned or severely restricted substances were detected. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have known fragrance allergies, consult a dermatologist or allergist before use.

What does a PSS of 6.5/10 (Grade B) mean?+

The Product Safety Score (PSS) is an independent third-party assessment of overall fragrance safety based on ingredient concentration and individual safety data. A Grade B (6.5/10) indicates the product is moderately safe for typical consumer use, with no critical hazards identified. It is not the highest rating, so patch testing and label instructions should be followed carefully.

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.
