Why This Score

Primary ingredient Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes (30.0%) has a solid ISS safety score of 6.5/10, indicating established safety data for use in fragrances.
2-Methoxyphenol derivative (15.0%) is a recognized fragrance component with an ISS grade A and moderate concentration, supporting safe formulation practice.
Ambrocinate comprises 7.5% of the formula but carries a notably lower ISS score of 3.0/10, indicating less robust safety documentation compared to other constituents. Monitor for any skin sensitivity or allergic response upon first 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 Sacred Wood safe for daily use?+

Sacred Wood's Grade B PSS score suggests it is generally suitable for regular application; however, the presence of Ambrocinate (7.5%) with lower safety documentation warrants a cautious approach. Start with occasional use and monitor for any signs of skin irritation, sensitivity, or allergic reaction. Those with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies should perform a patch test first.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

Ambrocinate is the ingredient of concern in this formula due to its ISS score of 3.0/10, indicating less established safety data. The remaining ingredients—Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, the ethanone derivative, and 2-methoxyphenol compounds—all carry stronger safety profiles (grades A and Moderate). If you have known sensitivities to synthetic fragrances or woody notes, consult a dermatologist before use.

What does a PSS of 6.2/10 (Grade B) mean?+

The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.2/10 with Grade B indicates a moderate safety rating. This means the product has acceptable safety data but is not in the highest confidence tier (Grade A). Grade B reflects that some ingredients or concentration combinations have adequate but not comprehensive safety documentation, making it suitable for general consumer use with standard precautions such as patch testing and following label instructions.
