Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Essence Of New York Body Oil Roll-On safe for daily use?+
Yes, for most adults. The product is Grade A- overall, with a stable water-and-alcohol base. However, daily use on sensitive or reactive skin may increase the risk of irritation from ETHYL VANILLIN. Start with 2–3 times weekly and observe your skin's response before increasing frequency.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
ETHYL VANILLIN is the primary concern due to its Grade C safety score. While safe at 1.0% concentration for most people, it can trigger sensitivity in those with fragrance allergies or compromised skin barriers. BENZYL SALICYLATE (Grade A-, 1.0%) is also present as a fragrance agent and may warrant caution if you have salicylate sensitivities.
What does a PSS of 7.5/10 (Grade A-) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) reflects the overall safety profile based on ingredient concentrations and individual safety ratings. A Grade A- indicates the product is safe for consumer use with minor precautions—in this case, patch testing for sensitive skin. It is not a perfect score but represents reliable safety.
