Frequently Asked Questions
Is More Than Words safe for daily use?+
More Than Words carries a Grade B PSS score, which supports daily application for most consumers. However, individual tolerance varies. If you have a history of fragrance sensitivity, contact dermatitis, or reactive skin, start with limited exposure (e.g., single application on clothing rather than skin) and monitor for irritation over 24–48 hours before committing to daily wear.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The primary concern is not a specific ingredient, but rather the overall polycyclic hydrocarbon profile of the formula. While all five top ingredients carry Grade A or Grade A- safety ratings individually, some people experience skin sensitization to polycyclic fragrance compounds in combination. Avoid application on broken or inflamed skin, and discontinue use if redness, itching, or burning develops.
What does a PSS of 6.8/10 (Grade B) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) measures overall skin safety based on ingredient concentration, potency, and documented adverse event data. A Grade B score indicates the product meets regulatory safety thresholds but falls short of premium-tier safety margins. This means most people will tolerate it well, but a meaningful subset of consumers—particularly those with sensitive skin—may experience mild irritation. Grade B fragrances benefit from a patch test before widespread use.
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.

|---|---|---|
| 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 |
