Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bourbon Oak safe for daily use?+
For most consumers, yes. The PSS Grade B rating indicates adequate safety margins for routine application. However, daily use depends on individual skin sensitivity. Those with reactive or compromised skin should start with limited exposure and monitor for irritation or allergic responses.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The primary ingredient—TETRAMETHYL ACETYLOCTAHYDRONAPHTHALENES (20%)—is a synthetic compound commonly found in woody fragrances. While safety-rated, individuals with known fragrance sensitivities, contact dermatitis, or respiratory sensitivities should exercise caution and conduct a small patch test first. If you have multiple fragrance allergies, consult a dermatologist before use.
What does a PSS of 7.0/10 (Grade B) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) Grade B indicates the fragrance poses moderate safety considerations relative to typical consumer products. It is not a 'fail' rating; rather, it reflects that while the formula is generally acceptable, some users—particularly those with sensitive skin or fragrance intolerances—may experience reactions. Grade B products are suitable for the general population when used as directed.
