Why This Score

Linalyl Acetate (8.8% combined concentration) is a well-established fragrance ingredient with documented safety records in cosmetic applications.
1-methyl-4-prop-1-en-2-ylcyclohexene (5.0%) carries a grade A safety score, indicating favorable safety assessment for use in eau de parfum formulations.
Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes comprise 40% of the formula—a substantial concentration. While rated grade A, individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities 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 Basso Type safe for daily use?+

Basso Type carries a Grade B safety rating, which suggests it is generally safe for regular use by most consumers. However, fragrance products can trigger reactions in individuals with sensitive skin, allergies, or fragrance sensitivities. If you have a history of skin reactions to perfumes, start with limited exposure and monitor your skin's response.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The product is dominated by Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes (40%), a synthetic fragrance compound. While this ingredient has a good safety score, some individuals may experience irritation or allergic contact dermatitis. Linalyl Acetate, another key component, is generally well-tolerated but can occasionally trigger sensitivities in prone individuals. Always perform a patch test on a small skin area before applying to larger areas.

What does a PSS of 6.5/10 (Grade B) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.5/10 with a Grade B rating indicates moderate-to-good safety performance. This means the product has been assessed as acceptable for consumer use, though it is not in the highest safety tier. Grade B products are generally safe for most people when used as directed, but individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies should exercise caution.

The HumanSafe™ Difference
