Frequently Asked Questions
Is Oud Minerale safe for daily use?+
For most users, yes. The Grade B PSS rating indicates acceptable safety for regular fragrance application. However, if you have a history of fragrance sensitivity, dermatitis, or salicylate intolerance, test a small amount on inner wrist or behind the ear first. Discontinue use if irritation develops.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The notable consideration is the combined 27.5% concentration of hexenyl salicylate variants (cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate at 15.0% and Hexenyl Salicylate at 12.5%), which carry moderate ISS safety scores. Salicylates can trigger reactions in salicylate-sensitive individuals, though reactions are uncommon. Patch test before full use.
What does a PSS of 7.0/10 (Grade B) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) evaluates overall formulation safety across ingredient profiles, concentration levels, and interaction risks. A Grade B score indicates the product meets safety standards for consumer use but has some minor considerations—in this case, the moderate-rated salicylate components. It is not a concern for the general population.
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.
| Dimension | Other Apps (EWG, Yuka) | HumanSafe™ |
|---|---|---|
| Dose awareness | Same score regardless of concentration | Assessed at actual use concentration in this product |
| Exposure context | Same score for rinse-off and leave-on products | Adjusted for product format and absorption rate |
| Allergens | Binary flag — present or absent | Concentration compared to IFRA/EU safe limits |
| Purchase signal | Score only, no recommendation | Clear verdict + safer alternatives ranked by PSS |
