Frequently Asked Questions
Is Amber Absolute safe for daily use?+
For most consumers, yes. The PSS Grade A- rating suggests it is safe for regular use as an eau de parfum. However, individual tolerance varies—if you have a history of fragrance sensitivity, start with occasional use and monitor for any irritation or allergic reaction.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The dominant ingredient, Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes (20%), is safe overall but may cause irritation in individuals with particularly sensitive skin. Phenethyl alcohol (5.0%) is generally well-tolerated but can occasionally trigger sensitivity in fragrance-prone users. Perform a patch test on a small area before applying to larger skin areas.
What does a PSS of 7.1/10 (Grade A-) mean?+
The Product Safety Score (PSS) reflects the overall dermal safety profile based on ingredient safety data. A Grade A- indicates that Amber Absolute has passed rigorous safety assessment and is suitable for consumer use, though it is not rated perfect. This grade suggests low risk of adverse reactions for the general population.
