Why This Score

ETHYLENE BRASSYLATE and 1,4-DIOXACYCLOHEPTADECANE-5,17-DIONE both score 10.0/10 on ingredient safety, indicating excellent dermal and systemic safety profiles.
UNDECENYL ACETATE (15.0% concentration) carries a solid ISS grade of 7.0/10, suggesting safe use in fragrance applications at this level.
OXACYCLOHEXADECAN-2-ONE comprises 12.5% of the formula but has a moderate ISS rating (6.6/10); while not a safety concern for typical use, sensitive individuals 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 MUSK TO MUSK TYPE safe for daily use?+

Yes, for most consumers. The product scores Grade A- on the Product Safety Scale, meaning it meets safety benchmarks for regular fragrance use. However, if you have sensitive skin or a history of fragrance reactions, apply a small amount to the inner wrist first and wait 24 hours to check for irritation.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

OXACYCLOHEXADECAN-2-ONE has a moderate safety rating compared to the other ingredients. While this does not mean the product is unsafe, individuals with particularly sensitive skin, allergies, or respiratory sensitivities should be cautious. Avoid contact with eyes and do not ingest.

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

The Product Safety Scale (PSS) is an independent safety assessment. A Grade A- indicates the fragrance has passed rigorous evaluation with a good safety margin for dermal contact and typical use scenarios. This grade reflects the safety of the overall formulation, not individual ingredients in isolation.
