Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vinaigre safe for daily use?+
For most consumers without fragrance sensitivities, daily use is generally compatible with its Grade B safety rating. However, because Vinaigre is an Eau de Parfum (higher concentration), consider alternating with fragrance-free days or reducing application frequency if any irritation develops. Those with known fragrance allergies should patch test first.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
Linalool and D-Limonene are the primary constituents and can trigger contact sensitization in susceptible individuals. Linalyl Acetate is also present at notable levels. None are inherently unsafe at these concentrations for the general population, but people with fragrance allergies should be aware of these components.
What does a PSS of 6.8/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.8/10 at Grade B indicates that Vinaigre presents a moderate safety profile—acceptable for consumer use but not in the highest safety tier. This grade reflects the cumulative risk from its fragrance ingredient blend and suggests it is suitable for typical application but not ideal for highly sensitive populations.
