Frequently Asked Questions
Is Velvet Orchid safe for daily use?+
Yes, for most users. The PSS Grade A- rating indicates good safety when used as directed on intact skin. However, daily use may increase the risk of sensitization in individuals prone to fragrance allergies. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, reduce frequency or discontinue use.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The primary ingredients—Benzyl Salicylate, Linalool, Linalyl Acetate, and Ambroxan—are standard in fragrance products and generally well-tolerated. Linalool and Benzyl Salicylate are known sensitizers in some individuals; if you have a history of fragrance sensitivity or citrus/floral allergies, patch test first. All ingredients carry Grade A safety scores.
What does a PSS of 7.0/10 (Grade A-) mean?+
The Product Safety Score (PSS) is an independent assessment of overall safety based on ingredient profiles and concentration data. A Grade A- indicates low-to-moderate risk for adverse effects in typical use. This is a favorable rating, though it does not eliminate the need for individual patch testing, especially for people with sensitive skin.
