Frequently Asked Questions
Is Carnal Flower safe for daily use?+
Carnal Flower carries a Grade B PSS score, which indicates it is generally safe for regular application by most consumers. However, daily use should be evaluated individually—if you experience irritation, redness, or allergic reactions, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Those with known salicylate sensitivities should exercise extra caution.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
Hexenyl Salicylate (17.5%) is the primary ingredient of concern, scoring Moderate on the safety scale. Benzyl Salicylate and cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate are present in significant amounts as well. If you have sensitive skin or a history of fragrance sensitivities, perform a small patch test on your inner arm 24 hours before full application.
What does a PSS of 6.8/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The Product Safety Score (PSS) is an independent safety rating on a scale of 0–10. A Grade B score of 6.8/10 indicates above-average safety with some ingredient-level considerations. This means the product is acceptable for general consumer use but is not in the highest safety tier, and users should remain aware of individual sensitivities.
