Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vetiver Patchouli safe for daily use?+
Yes, for most users. The fragrance has a Grade B safety profile and is formulated as an eau de parfum with standard concentrations of alcohol and water. However, if you have sensitive or reactive skin, start with limited exposure and monitor for irritation.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The azalene compound present at 3.8% carries a Grade D safety score, the lowest among the primary ingredients listed. D-limonene, a natural citrus component, is present at 3.8% and may cause sensitivity in some individuals. Both warrant caution if you have known fragrance sensitivities.
What does a PSS of 6.3/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The Product Safety Score (PSS) is an independent assessment of overall ingredient safety and formulation risk. A Grade B rating indicates the product meets baseline safety standards but has some minor concerns—in this case, the lower-rated azulene ingredient—that don't prohibit use but suggest awareness is warranted.
