Frequently Asked Questions
Is Orange Blossom safe for daily use?+
Orange Blossom is generally safe for daily use for most consumers, with primary ingredients holding strong safety grades. However, because it contains cis-3-hexenyl salicylate (a salicylate compound), individuals with known salicylate sensitivities or reactive skin should start with limited exposure and monitor for irritation. As with any fragrance, apply to pulse points rather than large skin areas.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The main ingredient to be aware of is cis-3-hexenyl salicylate, which may trigger reactions in salicylate-sensitive individuals. Linalool and 2-benzylideneoctanal are both well-documented fragrance materials with strong safety records. If you have a history of fragrance sensitivities or skin reactions, perform a patch test on a small area first.
What does a PSS of 6.5/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The Product Safety Score (PSS) of 6.5/10 with a Grade B indicates that Orange Blossom meets acceptable safety standards for cosmetic products but is not in the highest safety tier. This grade reflects a balance of ingredient safety profiles and concentration levels. Grade B fragrances are suitable for most consumers, though individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies should use caution.
