Midnight Shimmer's Grade B PSS score suggests it is suitable for daily use by most consumers.

None are known allergens at the concentrations used in this product. That said, some individuals may be sensitive to musk-based compounds or fragrance mixtures in general; if you have known fragrance allergies, consult the full ingredient list or a dermatologist.
What does a PSS of 6.6/10 (Grade B) mean?+
