Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dawn safe for daily use?+
Daily use depends on individual skin sensitivity. The PSS Grade C rating suggests that while many users may tolerate it, those with reactive skin, fragrance allergies, or conditions like eczema or dermatitis should start with limited application (e.g., pulse points only) and monitor for irritation. A patch test on the inner arm for 24 hours is recommended before daily use.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
All five top ingredients carry acceptable safety grades. However, beta-caryophyllene and the decahydro-methanoazulene compound are natural extracts that occasionally trigger sensitivity in fragrance-reactive individuals. If you have known sensitivities to spice-derived or woody fragrance notes, exercise caution.
What does a PSS of 5.7/10 (Grade C) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) Grade C indicates moderate safety. The product is not contraindicated for general use, but it falls below the higher safety tiers (A and B). This grade typically reflects a balance of beneficial ingredients and minor irritation risks, suggesting that individual testing and skin-type consideration are appropriate before committed use.
