Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vanilla Cake safe for daily use?+
Vanilla Cake can be used daily by most adults; however, frequency and application amount should be adjusted based on individual skin sensitivity. Start with light application on pulse points (wrists, behind ears) rather than broad spraying. If irritation develops, reduce frequency or dilute with an unscented carrier oil.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
Benzyl Alcohol and Ethyl Vanillin together make up the majority of this fragrance. While both are permitted in cosmetics, benzyl alcohol can cause contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals, and high alcohol concentrations may dry skin or irritate eyes. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
What does a PSS of 6.6/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.6/10 Grade B indicates moderate safety—the product is acceptable for consumer use but carries some considerations. It is not in the highest safety tier, suggesting users with sensitive skin should exercise caution and perform a patch test first.
