Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bad Boys Are No Good But Good Buys Are No Fun safe for daily use?+

The fragrance achieves a Grade B PSS score, suggesting it is acceptable for regular use by most people. However, the Moderate-grade ingredient present at significant concentration (17.5%) means daily application should be preceded by a patch test. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The second-largest ingredient by concentration—an octahydro ethanone compound (17.5%)—carries a Moderate rather than Grade A safety classification. While not inherently unsafe, this ingredient warrants extra attention. The remaining top ingredients all carry Grade A ratings. Individuals with fragrance sensitivity or reactive skin should perform a 24-48 hour patch test on the inner arm before broader application.

What does a PSS of 6.7/10 (Grade B) mean?+

The Product Safety Score (PSS) of 6.7/10 with Grade B indicates moderate safety performance. It reflects a balanced profile where most ingredients meet Grade A standards, but the presence of a Moderate-graded ingredient lowers the overall rating. Grade B products are generally acceptable for consumer use but benefit from standard precautions like patch testing, proper dilution, and avoiding contact with eyes or broken skin.
