Why This Score

Strong safety profile: Four of five primary ingredients score Grade A or A+, including Ethylene Brassylate and 1,4-Dioxacycloheptadecane-5,17-dione (both ISS 10.0/10).
Favorable PSS score of 7.2/10 (Grade A-) indicates good overall product safety for typical consumer use.
One secondary ingredient (Ethanone derivative, 17.5% concentration) carries a Moderate safety grade; individuals 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 Cruel Intentions (Tempt Me) safe for daily use?+

Yes, for most users. The PSS score of 7.2/10 (Grade A-) supports daily application. However, because fragrances are personal-care products, individual tolerance varies. If you have sensitive skin, fragrance allergies, or reactive skin conditions, start with limited application and monitor for irritation. Always follow label instructions regarding concentration and application frequency.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The formulation is predominantly safe, but one ingredient—an Ethanone derivative at 17.5% concentration—carries a Moderate safety grade rather than Grade A. This does not indicate danger, but users with known fragrance sensitivities or skin reactivity should perform a small patch test on inner wrist or behind the ear before broader use. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist.

What does a PSS of 7.2/10 (Grade A-) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) measures overall safety based on ingredient profiles, concentrations, and known hazard data. A Grade A- indicates the product is well-formulated with a low to very low safety concern profile, making it suitable for consumer use. This grade reflects independent analysis and is not a guarantee against individual sensitivities, which vary by person.

The HumanSafe™ Difference
