Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lys Mediterranee safe for daily use?+
Yes, for most people. The Grade B safety score indicates generally acceptable safety for regular application. However, eau de parfums are concentrated (typically 15–20% fragrance oils), so apply moderately—a few spritzes on pulse points is sufficient. If you experience irritation, redness, or allergic reactions, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
Cis-3-hexenyl salicylate is the primary ingredient warranting attention, particularly if you have salicylate sensitivity or are pregnant/nursing (salicylates can be absorbed through skin). Benzyl benzoate and linalool are standard fragrance components with established safety profiles, but linalool can cause contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals. Perform a patch test on inner arm before full facial or body application.
What does a PSS of 6.5/10 (Grade B) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) measures overall safety based on ingredient concentration, individual safety ratings, and cumulative exposure risk. Grade B indicates the product is generally safe but contains one or more ingredients warranting attention or caution in specific populations. It is not unsafe for typical use, but users should review ingredient sensitivities and follow application guidance.
