Why This Score

✔Contains Ambroxan (10.0%) and Benzyl Salicylate (5.0%), both rated Grade A for safety with ISS scores of 7.0 and 8.5 respectively, indicating low concern for typical consumers.
✔Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes comprise 30% of the formula and carry a Grade A safety rating with an ISS of 6.5, suggesting acceptable safety at this concentration level.
⚠Contains an unresolved compound at 25.0% concentration with a Moderate safety grade (ISS 6.6). While not flagged as high-risk, limited transparency on this ingredient warrants patch testing before full facial application, especially for sensitive skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Accord Oud safe for daily use?+

Accord Oud's Grade B safety profile supports daily use for most consumers. However, individual tolerance varies. If you have sensitive skin or a history of fragrance reactions, perform a 24-hour patch test on a small area (inner arm or behind ear) before regular application. Discontinue if irritation develops.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The primary concern is an unresolved compound present at 25% with a Moderate safety grade. Benzyl Salicylate is present at 5% and may cause sensitivity in individuals with salicylate sensitivities. If you have known fragrance allergies or sensitive skin conditions, consult a dermatologist before use.

What does a PSS of 6.6/10 (Grade B) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.6/10 with Grade B indicates the fragrance has moderate safety with no critical red flags, but some ingredients warrant attention. Grade B products are generally considered safe for typical use but may require caution for individuals with sensitive skin, allergies, or fragrance sensitivities.
