Frequently Asked Questions
Is Shalimar safe for daily use?+
Shalimar can be used daily by most people without safety concerns. However, fragrance sensitivities vary individually. If you have a history of skin reactions to fragrances or citrus-derived ingredients, consider a patch test on a small area first. Discontinue use if irritation develops.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
D-Limonene is the primary ingredient to monitor; it is a natural citrus component that can trigger contact sensitization in susceptible individuals, especially on broken or very sensitive skin. Linalyl Acetate and Linalool are generally well-tolerated. If you have known allergies to citrus fragrances, discuss this product with a dermatologist before use.
What does a PSS of 6.7/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.7/10 Grade B indicates that Shalimar has a moderate safety profile based on ingredient concentration, hazard data, and usage patterns. Grade B products are considered acceptable for general consumer use but may carry minor concerns for specific populations (such as those with fragrance sensitivities). It is neither a top-tier safety rating nor a warning of significant risk.
