Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vahala Perfume Spray safe for daily use?+
A Grade B PSS score suggests this product is generally acceptable for regular use by most consumers. However, daily application should be monitored, particularly on sensitive or reactive skin. If irritation develops, reduce frequency or discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
TETRAMETHYL ACETYLOCTAHYDRONAPHTHALENES is the primary concern due to its high 20% concentration. This polycyclic fragrance compound is safety-graded, but people with fragrance sensitivities, contact dermatitis history, or compromised skin barriers should patch-test before full-face or body application. Avoid eye contact and keep away from children.
What does a PSS of 6.9/10 (Grade B) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) grades products on a 10-point scale. Grade B indicates moderate safety—the product is generally suitable for consumer use but carries some documented cautions or ingredient concerns worth noting. It is not the highest grade (A) but is not restricted. Individual ingredient scores and concentration matter; review the data sheet if you have specific sensitivities.
