Why This Score

Ethylene Brassylate (15.0%) scores 10.0/10 on the ingredient safety scale, indicating excellent safety profile and low concern for irritation or toxicity.
1,4-Dioxacycloheptadecane-5,17-dione (12.5%) earns a Grade A+ safety rating with a perfect 10.0/10 ISS score, making it one of the safest components in this formulation.
Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes comprise 20.0% of the formula—the highest concentration—with a moderate ISS score of 6.5/10. While considered safe, individuals with sensitive skin 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 Grand Soir safe for daily use?+

Grand Soir's Grade A- safety score suggests it is generally safe for regular use. However, safety depends on individual skin sensitivity and application method. Start with limited use, apply to pulse points rather than large skin areas, and discontinue if irritation develops. Those with fragrance sensitivities should patch test first.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The dominant ingredient, Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes (20.0%), has a moderate safety score of 6.5/10. This synthetic aromatic compound is widely used in fragrances but may trigger sensitivity in some users. Ethyl Vanillin (7.5%) is a common allergen for individuals with vanilla sensitivities. If you have known fragrance allergies, consult product labeling or a dermatologist before use.

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

The PSS (Product Safety Score) measures overall formulation safety based on ingredient concentrations and individual safety data. Grade A- indicates above-average safety but not perfect—meaning Grand Soir is considered safe for typical use, though some caution applies. The score reflects that most ingredients are safe, with minor concerns noted for specific components at their concentrations.

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.
