Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kensington Amber safe for daily use?+
Yes, Kensington Amber is formulated with high-safety-rated ingredients suitable for daily fragrance use. The PSS Grade A rating reflects comprehensive safety assessment. However, as with any fragrance product, individual sensitivities vary—discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a dermatologist if concerns arise.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
Coumarin is the primary ingredient to monitor. While approved in fragrances and generally safe for most users, some individuals may experience sensitivity or allergic reactions. If you have a known coumarin allergy or highly sensitive skin, perform a small patch test on the inner wrist before broader application. The remaining ingredients carry strong safety ratings.
What does a PSS of 8.7/10 (Grade A) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent safety assessment rating. A Grade A score of 8.7/10 indicates that Kensington Amber meets rigorous safety standards across ingredient sourcing, concentration levels, and stability. This classification reflects low-to-moderate risk for adverse effects in typical consumer use when applied as directed.
