Why This Score

Ethylene Brassylate (30.0%) scores 10.0/10 on the Ingredient Safety Scale and forms the fragrance base with excellent safety profile.
1,4-Dioxacycloheptadecane-5,17-dione (25.0%) achieves Grade A+ safety rating and is a well-established fragrance ingredient.
One ingredient (Ethanone derivative, 12.5%) carries a moderate safety grade; though approved for use, sensitive individuals 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 Candy Rose safe for daily use?+

Candy Rose carries a Grade A- safety rating and is suitable for daily use by most adults. However, because fragrance products can trigger sensitivity in some individuals—especially those with reactive or compromised skin—a 24-hour patch test on the inner arm is recommended before regular application. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The majority of Candy Rose's formula consists of high-safety-grade ingredients. One component—an acetyloctahydronaphthalene derivative at 12.5%—carries a moderate safety grade rather than Grade A. This is still permitted in fragrance formulations but means individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies should exercise caution and patch-test first.

What does a PSS of 7.4/10 (Grade A-) mean?+

The Product Safety Scale (PSS) rates fragrance products from 0–10 based on ingredient safety data and concentration. A score of 7.4/10 with Grade A- indicates above-average safety for an eau de parfum; most of the formula uses well-established, high-safety ingredients. This grade does not mean the product is risk-free, only that safety data supports its use when used as directed.

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.
