Why This Score

Methyl Ionones (5.0%) scored well on safety (ISS 8.5/10), indicating this violet/floral note is a relatively well-studied fragrance ingredient with acceptable safety margins in eau de parfum format.
Tetrahydro-Methyl-Methylpropyl-Pyran-4-ol (5.0%) carries a strong safety score (ISS 7.0/10), suggesting good dermatological tolerance at this concentration in the fragrance blend.
Two ingredients—Longifolene and 1,4-Methanoazulene—have lower individual safety scores (ISS 4.0/10 each). While present in small amounts, fragrance-sensitive individuals should perform a patch test before full application, particularly on sensitive skin or if you have a history of contact dermatitis.

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 Superstitious safe for daily use?+

For most people, yes—its Grade B rating reflects acceptable safety for regular fragrance use. However, if you have sensitive skin, reactive dermatitis, or fragrance allergies, start with occasional use and monitor for irritation. Always patch-test on the inner arm or behind the ear first, especially if applying to face or neck.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

Longifolene and 1,4-Methanoazulene are present in lower concentrations but scored lower on individual safety indices (ISS 4.0/10). These are naturally-derived or nature-identical fragrance compounds; while not banned, they may trigger reactions in sensitized individuals. If you know you react to woody or herbal fragrance notes, exercise extra caution.

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

The Product Safety Score (PSS) is an independent safety assessment across all ingredients, processing, and intended use. A Grade B (6.3/10) indicates moderate safety—the product is generally acceptable for consumers but carries slightly elevated caution flags compared to Grade A products. This is not uncommon for eau de parfum fragrances, which by nature contain potent aromatic compounds.

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.
