Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lime Basil & Mandarin safe for daily use?+
For most users, yes. The fragrance contains established ingredients with acceptable safety data. However, daily use depends on individual skin sensitivity and concentration tolerance. If you have reactive or sensitive skin, start with limited exposure and monitor for irritation before committing to daily application.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The propylene glycol-based compounds (present at ~18.8% combined) are the primary consideration. While approved in cosmetics, they can irritate sensitive skin in higher concentrations. Linalool and linalyl acetate are naturally-derived but may cause reactions in individuals with citrus sensitivities. Always patch test if you have known fragrance sensitivities.
What does a PSS of 6.5/10 (Grade B) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) rates overall formulation safety on a 10-point scale. A Grade B score of 6.5/10 indicates the product is generally safe for consumer use but contains some ingredients requiring caution or monitoring. This is a mid-range safety rating—not a concern, but not the highest tier either.
