Why This Score

Linalyl Acetate (5.0%) is a well-established fragrance ingredient with a strong safety profile (ISS 6.5/10), commonly found in botanical-derived fragrances.
Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes comprise the largest ingredient at 15.0% with a grade A safety rating (ISS 6.5/10), indicating acceptable use in eau de parfum formulations.
One azulene-type ingredient carries a lower ISS score of 4.0/10 at 5.0% concentration. While present at moderate levels, individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities should conduct 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 Tempo safe for daily use?+

Tempo's Grade B PSS rating suggests it is suitable for regular fragrance use for most consumers. However, because fragrance sensitivities vary individually, a patch test on a small area of skin 24 hours before full application is prudent. Those with known fragrance allergies or extremely sensitive skin should consult a dermatologist.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The azulene derivative at 5.0% concentration has a lower safety index (4.0/10) compared to other ingredients in the formula. While still within acceptable limits for cosmetic use, this ingredient may trigger reactions in fragrance-sensitive individuals. All other major components have solid safety profiles.

What does a PSS of 6.3/10 (Grade B) mean?+

The PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent safety assessment on a 0–10 scale. A Grade B score of 6.3/10 indicates the product meets acceptable safety standards for use as marketed, with no critical red flags. It does not mean the product is risk-free for all users—individual sensitivities always apply.

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.
