Why This Score

AMBROXAN (10.0%) provides strong safety grounding with an ISS score of 7.0/10 (Grade A), indicating well-established safety data for this commonly used fragrance fixative.
The top five ingredients include multiple Grade A and A- rated components, with TETRAMETHYL ACETYLOCTAHYDRONAPHTHALENES and 1,3,4,6,7,8-HEXAHYDRO compounds both scoring 6.5–7.0/10 on ingredient safety.
One ingredient (ETHANONE, 1-(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-OCTAHYDRO-2,3,8,8-) at 8.8% concentration) carries a Moderate safety grade (ISS 6.6/10). While not prohibited, this warrants awareness for users with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities.

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 Baudelaire safe for daily use?+

Baudelaire's Grade B safety score and ingredient profile support daily use for most consumers. However, the presence of one Moderate-grade ingredient at 8.8% concentration means users with fragrance allergies, skin sensitivity, or respiratory concerns should perform a patch test first or consult a dermatologist before regular application.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The primary concern is an unresolved octahydro-ethanone compound at 8.8% with a Moderate safety rating. While Grade A components like AMBROXAN and TETRAMETHYL ACETYLOCTAHYDRONAPHTHALENES dominate the formula, this mid-tier ingredient is the weakest link. If you have known fragrance sensitivities or dermatological conditions, review with your healthcare provider.

What does a PSS of 6.3/10 (Grade B) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) grades fragrances on overall safety across all ingredients. A Grade B score indicates moderate safety standing—above minimum threshold but not top-tier. This means Baudelaire is generally acceptable for consumer use, though it is not in the highest safety category. Individual sensitivities may vary.

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.
