Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pure Gold safe for daily use?+
Pure Gold's PSS Grade B and ingredient safety scores suggest it is suitable for regular use by most consumers. However, daily application of an eau de parfum—which is more concentrated than eau de toilette—may cause irritation or sensitization in individuals with fragrance allergies or very reactive skin. Start with moderate application and monitor your skin's response.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The primary ingredients (AMBROXAN, METHYL IONONES, and polycyclic synthetics like TETRAMETHYL ACETYLOCTAHYDRONAPHTHALENES) all carry grade A or A- safety ratings and are widely used in commercial fragrances. The main consideration is individual sensitivity to fragrance compounds in general, not specific toxicity concerns with these particular materials.
What does a PSS of 6.9/10 (Grade B) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent safety assessment on a 10-point scale. A Grade B score of 6.9/10 indicates the product meets baseline safety standards with good ingredient transparency and acceptable concentration levels for typical use. This is a solid, middle-to-upper range score for fragrance products, though not the highest tier.
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.
