Why This Score

ETHYLENE BRASSYLATE (10.0%) scores 10.0/10 on ingredient safety, indicating excellent dermal and systemic safety profile for topical fragrance use.
TETRAMETHYL ACETYLOCTAHYDRONAPHTHALENES (15.0%), the primary ingredient, carries an ISS grade of A with a 6.5/10 safety score, showing acceptable safety at this concentration.
Two ingredients (ETHANONE derivative and REACTION MASS compound) receive 'Moderate' safety grades; while not prohibited, sensitive individuals should patch-test before regular use, especially on broken or irritated skin.

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 ASSAM & GRAPEFRUIT TYPE safe for daily use?+

Yes, for most adults. The overall PSS score of 7.1/10 (Grade A-) indicates good safety margins. However, because two ingredients carry 'Moderate' safety grades, individuals with sensitive skin, fragrance allergies, or dermatological conditions should perform a patch test on a small area 24–48 hours before regular use.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The two main ingredients to monitor are an ETHANONE derivative (12.5%) and a REACTION MASS compound (8.8%), both rated 'Moderate' for safety. These are common fragrance components but may trigger irritation in sensitive users. If you experience redness, itching, or rash, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

What does a PSS of 7.1/10 (Grade A-) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) evaluates overall dermal and systemic safety based on ingredient composition and concentrations. A Grade A- indicates the fragrance meets rigorous safety standards and is approved for use as a cosmetic product. Scores above 7.0 generally reflect low risk for the general population 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.
