Frequently Asked Questions
Is Philosykos (Fig) safe for daily use?+
The product's Grade B safety score suggests it is generally safe for daily use by most consumers. However, because CYCLAMEN ALDEHYDE rates lower on the safety scale (4.0/10), those with fragrance sensitivities, allergies, or reactive skin should start with limited exposure and monitor for irritation. Always follow application guidelines on the packaging.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
CYCLAMEN ALDEHYDE is the ingredient with the lowest safety index in this formula. While it is used at a modest concentration (2.5%), it may trigger reactions in sensitive individuals. The other major components—TETRAMETHYL ACETYLOCTAHYDRONAPHTHALENES and ETHANONE derivatives—carry moderate to good safety ratings. If you have known fragrance allergies, consult the full ingredient list or a dermatologist.
What does a PSS of 6.5/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The Product Safety Score (PSS) of 6.5/10 with Grade B indicates this fragrance meets basic safety standards and is acceptable for consumer use, but it is not in the highest safety tier. Grade B products are considered moderately safe and suitable for the general population, though certain individuals—particularly those with sensitivities—should exercise caution. The score reflects the collective safety profile of all ingredients in the formula.
