Why This Score

Phenethyl alcohol (30%) is the primary ingredient with a solid safety grade (A) and ISS score of 6.0/10, commonly used in fragrance formulations.
Citronellol (combined 27.5%) carries a strong safety grade (A/A-) with ISS score of 7.0/10, a well-established fragrance component with favorable safety data.
Trichloromethyl phenyl carbinyl acetate (10%) achieves a perfect ISS score but is less commonly documented in consumer products; patch testing on sensitive skin is recommended before regular use.

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 Red Roses safe for daily use?+

Red Roses achieves Grade B safety status, making it acceptable for daily application by most consumers. However, individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities should perform a patch test first. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The formula is dominated by phenethyl alcohol and citronellol, both well-established fragrance ingredients. Trichloromethyl phenyl carbinyl acetate at 10% concentration is the least common ingredient in this formulation; while it scores well on safety indexes, limited consumer-level data exists. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

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

PSS (Product Safety Score) Grade B indicates moderate safety standing—above minimum standards but with room for improvement or areas requiring consumer awareness. This grade suggests the product is safe for typical use when directions are followed, though it may warrant precautions for vulnerable populations such as those with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies.

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.
