Frequently Asked Questions
Is NOIR EPICES TYPE safe for daily use?+
Yes, for most users. The PSS Grade B rating and the safety profiles of its main ingredients support daily wear. However, individual tolerance varies—if you have sensitive skin, asthma triggered by fragrances, or a history of contact dermatitis, start with limited exposure and monitor for irritation. Always apply to skin that has been tested in a small area first.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The two largest components—2-benzylideneoctanal (30%) and its isomer (25%)—are the primary drivers of scent and carry moderate to strong safety grades. Ambrocinate (10%) is rated as safe (ISS 3.0/10, Grade A). No ingredient is flagged as prohibited or high-risk; however, the cumulative fragrance load (particularly the high concentration of aldehydes) may trigger reactions in fragrance-sensitive individuals.
What does a PSS of 6.4/10 (Grade B) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) measures overall safety based on ingredient concentration, hazard data, and historical use reports. A Grade B score (6.4/10) falls in the moderate-to-good safety range—the product is generally safe for consumer use, but is not in the highest safety tier. This grade reflects the presence of synthetic fragrance aldehydes and other active compounds that are safe at normal dilution but warrant attention in sensitive populations.
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.
| Dimension | Other Apps (EWG, Yuka) | HumanSafe™ |
|---|---|---|
| Dose awareness | Same score regardless of concentration | Assessed at actual use concentration in this product |
| Exposure context | Same score for rinse-off and leave-on products | Adjusted for product format and absorption rate |
| Allergens | Binary flag — present or absent | Concentration compared to IFRA/EU safe limits |
| Purchase signal | Score only, no recommendation | Clear verdict + safer alternatives ranked by PSS |
