Why This Score

2,6-Dimethyl-7-octen-2-ol is the primary ingredient at 15.0% concentration with a strong ISS safety rating of 8.5/10, indicating good dermal safety profile.
Linalool, a naturally-derived fragrance compound at 7.5%, carries an ISS rating of 7.0/10 and is widely used in cosmetics with established safety data.
One ingredient (ethanone derivative at 8.8%) carries a moderate ISS grade rather than A-grade; users 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 In Leather Man safe for daily use?+

For most consumers, daily use is appropriate given the Grade B PSS rating. However, because fragrances vary in individual tolerance, start with once-daily application on unbroken skin. If irritation, sensitization, or respiratory discomfort develops, reduce frequency or discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The formula contains tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes and an ethanone derivative—both with moderate-to-good safety profiles but less extensively documented than the primary linalool and dimethyl-octen-2-ol components. Individuals with known fragrance allergies or sensitive skin should patch-test on the inner arm 24–48 hours before widespread use.

What does a PSS of 6.9/10 (Grade B) mean?+

A Grade B score indicates the product meets general safety standards for cosmetic fragrances but carries minor concerns or less-complete safety data for one or more ingredients. It is suitable for typical adult consumers but may warrant extra caution for pregnant individuals, children, or those with dermatological conditions. Always follow label instructions and discontinue if adverse reactions occur.

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.
