Why This Score

Ethylene Brassylate (20.0%) scores 10.0/10 on ingredient safety and forms the stable base of this fragrance with excellent dermatological data.
Benzyl Salicylate (7.5%) is a well-studied fragrance ingredient with an ISS score of 8.5/10, commonly used in fine fragrances with documented safety margins.
5,5,6-Trimethylbicyclohept-2-ylcyclohexanol (10.0%) is present at a notable concentration; while safety-rated at 7.5/10, individuals with sensitive skin should perform 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 Aqua Universalis Forte safe for daily use?+

Yes, for most users. The fragrance is formulated at professional concentration (eau de parfum) and its top ingredients carry strong safety ratings. Daily use on pulse points (wrists, neck) is typical for this product category. However, if you have sensitive or reactive skin, start with limited exposure and monitor for irritation.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The woody note 5,5,6-Trimethylbicyclohept-2-ylcyclohexanol comprises 10% of the formula and rates 7.5/10 for safety—acceptable but worth noting if you have a history of fragrance sensitivities. Benzyl Salicylate is present at 7.5% and is generally well-tolerated. Perform a patch test on inner wrist or behind ear first if you have known fragrance allergies.

What does a PSS of 7.6/10 (Grade A-) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) measures overall safety based on ingredient profiles, concentration levels, and documented adverse event data. A Grade A- indicates strong safety performance—well above average for fragrances—with only minor precautions typical of eau de parfum products. This product is suitable for general consumer use when applied as directed.
