Frequently Asked Questions
Is White Patchouli safe for daily use?+
Yes, for most consumers. The PSS Grade B rating indicates acceptable safety for regular use. However, apply to pulse points (wrists, neck) rather than over large areas, and discontinue if irritation develops. Individuals with fragrance sensitivity or eczema should patch-test first.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The primary concern is the high proportion of synthetic polycyclic fragrance compounds (over 13% combined). These are approved for use in cosmetics but may trigger sensitivity in some people. Zinc PCA is beneficial and poses no known issue. If you have a history of fragrance-related dermatitis, consult a dermatologist before regular use.
What does a PSS of 6.6/10 (Grade B) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) evaluates overall safety based on ingredient composition and concentration. A Grade B score indicates the product meets safety standards but is not in the highest safety tier. It reflects a balanced formulation suitable for general use with standard fragrance precautions (avoid contact with eyes, use in well-ventilated areas).
