Frequently Asked Questions
Is For Men safe for daily use?+
For most consumers, yes—the product holds a Grade B PSS rating. However, because it contains 30% of a synthetic aromatic compound at substantial concentration, daily use on sensitive skin may cause irritation. A patch test on the inner arm or behind the ear for 24–48 hours is recommended before regular application.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
Linalool and Linalyl Acetate are known sensitizers in some individuals, though they appear in moderate-to-low concentrations here. The main ingredient of concern is Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, which makes up nearly one-third of the formula. If you have a history of fragrance allergies or sensitivities, consult a dermatologist or perform a patch test first.
What does a PSS of 6.8/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent safety assessment rating. A Grade B score of 6.8/10 indicates the product meets baseline safety standards and poses low-to-moderate risk for the general population, but is not in the highest safety tier. It suggests the product is suitable for most users, though certain individuals (particularly those with fragrance sensitivities) may experience adverse reactions.
