Frequently Asked Questions

Is Oakmoss & Amber safe for daily use?+

For most consumers, yes—the Grade B rating suggests it is generally safe for regular application. However, daily use depends on individual skin sensitivity and fragrance tolerance. If you have reactive skin or fragrance allergies, limit application frequency and monitor for irritation. Perform a small patch test on the inner wrist or behind the ear first.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The top ingredients are well-established fragrance materials with ISS scores ranging from 6.5 to 8.5/10, indicating acceptable safety margins. Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes and ethanone derivatives are synthetic fragrance compounds commonly used in perfumery. If you have known sensitivities to synthetic musks or fragrance compounds, consult a dermatologist before use.

What does a PSS of 7.0/10 (Grade B) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) 7.0/10 with Grade B indicates moderate to good safety standing—above minimum standards but not in the highest tier. This means the fragrance poses low risk for most users under normal use conditions, though it is not hypoallergenic. Grade B products are safe for general consumers but may warrant extra care for individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance intolerances.
