Frequently Asked Questions
Is Palermo safe for daily use?+
Yes, for most people. The PSS Grade A- score reflects a well-formulated fragrance suitable for regular wear. However, if you have sensitive skin or a history of fragrance allergies, perform a 24-hour patch test on your inner wrist before daily application. If irritation develops, discontinue use.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
D-LIMONENE is the primary ingredient to monitor. While common in citrus fragrances, it can cause contact dermatitis or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. AMBROXAN and the other synthetic components score well on safety indices. If you've reacted to citrus fragrances before, consult a dermatologist before using Palermo.
What does a PSS of 7.1/10 (Grade A-) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent safety rating where A- indicates above-average safety and tolerability. A score of 7.1/10 suggests the product has passed rigorous ingredient assessment and is suitable for consumer use, though no fragrance is risk-free for all individuals. Those with sensitivities should still exercise caution.
