Why This Score

Ethylene Brassylate (15.0%) scores 10.0/10 on the ingredient safety scale, indicating excellent safety profile and well-established use in fragrance formulations.
Ionone (2.5%) and Linalyl Acetate (1.0%) are established fragrance ingredients with good safety records (ISS 7.0 and 6.5 respectively), commonly found in consumer products.
Longifolene (1.0%) has a lower ingredient safety score (4.0/10) compared to other components; while present in minor concentration, 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 Polo Santo safe for daily use?+

Polo Santo's Grade A PSS score indicates it is formulated with safety in mind for regular use. However, because fragrance tolerance varies by individual, start with patch testing on inner wrist or behind the ear before applying to larger skin areas. If you have known fragrance sensitivities or reactive skin, consult a dermatologist first.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

Longifolene has the lowest safety score (4.0/10) among the listed ingredients, though it comprises only 1.0% of the formulation. Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes (5.0%) also scores moderately at 6.5/10. If you experience irritation, redness, or allergic reactions, discontinue use and consider consulting a healthcare provider.

What does a PSS of 8.2/10 (Grade A) mean?+

The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 8.2/10 with Grade A indicates that Polo Santo meets high safety standards based on its ingredient profile and concentration levels. Grade A is the top safety classification. This does not guarantee no individual will react, as personal sensitivities vary; it reflects the formulation's overall safety evaluation by independent analysis.
