Frequently Asked Questions
Is Amber Musk safe for daily use?+
Yes, for most people. The PSS grade of A- suggests daily application is generally safe. However, fragrances can trigger sensitization with prolonged or intensive exposure in susceptible individuals. Apply to pulse points rather than all over the body, and monitor your skin for any irritation during the first week of use.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The two largest components—Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes (15.0%) and Ethanone derivatives (12.5%)—have moderate safety documentation. While they are approved fragrance materials, people with fragrance sensitivities or dermatological conditions should patch-test first. If you experience redness, itching, or respiratory irritation, discontinue use.
What does a PSS of 7.0/10 (Grade A-) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent assessment of ingredient safety, concentration, and regulatory status. A grade of A- indicates above-average safety with minimal concern, though it is not equivalent to 'hypoallergenic' or 'risk-free.' Individual sensitivities vary, and patch testing is always recommended before full application.
