Frequently Asked Questions
Is Japon Noir safe for daily use?+
Japon Noir's Grade B safety score and ingredient profile support daily use for most consumers. However, fragrance sensitivity varies individually. If you have reactive or sensitized skin, start with occasional use or diluted application (e.g., on clothing rather than skin) and monitor for irritation or allergic reactions.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The major ingredients—linalyl acetate and linalool—are well-tolerated fragrance components. Linalool can cause contact sensitization in a small percentage of users, particularly with prolonged or repeated exposure on broken skin. If you have known sensitivity to lavender or citrus fragrances, you may wish to avoid this product or test first.
What does a PSS of 6.8/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.8/10 reflects the overall safety profile based on ingredient concentration, individual ingredient safety data, and formulation practice. Grade B indicates good safety standing but not the highest tier. This is typical for many commercial fragrances and does not indicate a safety concern for most users when used as directed.
