Frequently Asked Questions
Is Moonlight Patchouli safe for daily use?+
Yes, for most users. The PSS Grade A- indicates good overall safety. However, daily use on sensitive or reactive skin may require a preliminary patch test, especially due to the tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes content. Start with application to limited areas and monitor for irritation.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The synthetic polycyclic compound tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes makes up 15% of the formula and has moderate ISS safety data. Additionally, one ingredient (CAS 0000106-02-5) could not be fully resolved in this analysis. If you have known fragrance sensitivities or allergies, consult ingredient lists or perform a patch test first.
What does a PSS of 7.9/10 (Grade A-) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 7.9/10 with Grade A- indicates that Moonlight Patchouli meets strong safety standards based on its ingredient profile and concentration data. Grade A- is a high rating; minor considerations like the moderate-scoring synthetic compounds prevent a perfect Grade A score.
