Frequently Asked Questions
Is L'eau D'hiver safe for daily use?+
For most adult consumers, yes—the product achieves Grade A- safety status. However, daily use depends on individual skin sensitivity. If you have a history of fragrance reactions or atopic dermatitis, start with limited application (one or two spritzes) and monitor for irritation. Discontinue if redness, itching, or burning occurs.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
Heliotropine and 1,3-benzodioxole-5-carboxaldehyde are recognized fragrance allergens. These are common in perfumery but can trigger contact dermatitis or sensitization in susceptible individuals. A patch test on inner forearm or behind the ear for 24–48 hours is recommended before first use, especially if you have fragrance sensitivities.
What does a PSS of 7.8/10 (Grade A-) mean?+
The Product Safety Score (PSS) is an independent assessment of overall dermal safety and ingredient quality. A Grade A- indicates L'eau D'hiver meets high cosmetic safety standards with low expected risk of adverse reactions under normal use. This is a strong rating, though not absolute; individual reactions vary based on skin type and history.
