Why This Score

Two high-safety polycyclic musks (Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes and Ethylene Brassylate) provide stable fragrance performance with ISS scores of 6.5–10.0/10.
Macrocyclic ketone Galaxolide (1,4-Dioxacycloheptadecane-5,17-dione) is included at 6.2% with a top-tier ISS grade of A+ and excellent safety history in cosmetics.
Polycyclic musks at combined concentrations ~15–20% are well-tolerated but may warrant patch testing for sensitive skin; discontinue if irritation or allergic response occurs.

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 Plum Japonais safe for daily use?+

Yes, for most users. Its Grade B PSS score indicates good overall safety. However, daily use of any fragrance should be moderated—apply to pulse points (wrist, neck) rather than all over the body, and ensure adequate ventilation. Those with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies should perform a patch test first.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The dominant ingredients are polycyclic musks (Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes at 15%), which are widely used and generally safe but may trigger sensitivity in a small subset of users. Acetylcedrene (a cedarwood-derived compound) is also present. If you have a history of fragrance sensitivity or dermatitis, apply a small amount to your inner arm and wait 24 hours before full use.

What does a PSS of 6.9/10 (Grade B) mean?+

The PSS (Product Safety Score) reflects an independent safety assessment across ingredient toxicity, stability, and use patterns. A Grade B score indicates the product is safe for consumer use but has a lower margin of safety than Grade A products. It is not a warning; rather, it reflects a balanced risk-benefit profile typical of modern fragrances.

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.
