Why This Score

High water content (15%) provides safe hydration and stability; aqua is the industry standard carrier and scores A+.
Ethylene brassylate (1.5%), a synthetic musking agent, scores A (10.0/10 ISS) and is well-tolerated in fragrance formulations at this concentration.
Alcohol denat. comprises 65% of the formula—typical for eau de parfum but may cause dryness or irritation on sensitive skin with prolonged direct contact; patch test recommended before regular use.

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 Michael safe for daily use?+

Yes, Michael is generally safe for daily use for most people. However, because alcohol denat. makes up 65% of the formula, apply it to clothing or pulse points rather than directly onto sensitive facial skin. If you have very dry or reactive skin, test on a small area first and consider limiting frequency to a few times per week.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The formula contains two synthetic fragrance compounds (tetrahydro-methyl-methylpropyl)-pyran-4-ol and an unresolved compound) that score B (7.0/10) on the ingredient safety scale—safe at these concentrations but less extensively studied than top-tier components. If you have a known sensitivity to synthetic musks or woody fragrances, patch test first. No major red flags overall.

What does a PSS of 7.5/10 (Grade A-) mean?+

The PSS (Product Safety Score) evaluates ingredient safety, concentration levels, and known sensitivities across the full formula. A Grade A- indicates Michael is well-formulated with mostly low-concern ingredients and appropriate concentrations. It is not perfect (A+ would indicate higher margins of safety), but it reflects a credible safety profile for typical use as directed.

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.
