Frequently Asked Questions
Is Code For Men safe for daily use?+
Code For Men is suitable for daily use for most consumers, given its Grade A- safety score. However, you should perform a 24-48 hour patch test on a small area of skin first to check for sensitivity or irritation. If you have a history of fragrance sensitivity or reactive skin, consult a dermatologist before regular application.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The primary ingredient of concern is Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes (2%), which scores Grade C and may trigger reactions in sensitive individuals. Alcohol Denat. comprises 65% of the product and is a standard denaturant in fragrances; it can be drying on sensitive skin. Linalool is generally well-tolerated but is a known allergen for a small subset of the population.
What does a PSS of 7.4/10 (Grade A-) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent safety rating that evaluates ingredient safety profiles and concentration levels. A Grade A- score indicates above-average safety compared to similar fragrances, though it does not mean the product is risk-free for all users. Individual reactions vary based on skin sensitivity and personal allergies.
