Frequently Asked Questions
Is Herod safe for daily use?+
Herod achieves a PSS score of 7.0/10 (Grade A-), which supports daily application for most adults. However, because fragrance products are personal-use items, individual tolerance varies—start with limited exposure if you have sensitive skin or a history of fragrance reactions.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The formula is dominated by ambroxan and two synthetic woody compounds, all with strong safety profiles. One ingredient carries a moderate (rather than top-tier) safety rating; patch testing on a small area of skin 24 hours before full use is a sensible precaution for anyone prone to skin sensitivity.
What does a PSS of 7.0/10 (Grade A-) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent safety assessment. A Grade A- indicates the product meets high safety standards based on its ingredient profile and concentrations, though it is not the absolute highest grade. This rating reflects data available at the time of analysis and does not replace individual patch testing or medical advice.
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.
