Frequently Asked Questions
Is Midnight Gold safe for daily use?+
Yes, for most consumers. The two dominant ingredients have excellent safety data (ISS 10.0/10). However, daily use depends on individual skin sensitivity. If you have a history of fragrance reactions or very sensitive skin, start with occasional use and monitor for any irritation or allergic responses.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
Oxacyclohexadecan-2-One is the ingredient with the lowest safety rating (6.6/10, moderate grade) in this formula. It is not banned or inherently dangerous, but it has a slightly higher sensitization potential than the other components. People with fragrance allergies or contact dermatitis should patch test before application.
What does a PSS of 7.5/10 (Grade A-) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 7.5/10 reflects an independent safety assessment of the overall formulation. Grade A- indicates that Midnight Gold meets high safety standards for typical cosmetic use, though it is not perfect (a perfect score is rare). This means it is suitable for general consumers, with the caveat that individual reactions can vary.
