Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vanille Absolu safe for daily use?+
For most consumers, yes—the Grade B safety rating and established ingredient profiles support regular use. However, daily application on sensitive skin may warrant caution. If you experience irritation, reduce frequency or discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
All five primary ingredients carry acceptable safety grades (ISS 6.0–7.0/10). No restricted or banned substances are present. If you have documented allergies to vanillin derivatives or anisole compounds, a patch test is advisable before full use.
What does a PSS of 6.1/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The Product Safety Score (PSS) reflects overall safety based on ingredient profiles, concentrations, and historical use data. A Grade B indicates the product meets safety standards but falls into a moderate range rather than the highest tier. This is a common rating for complex fragrance formulations and does not indicate an unsafe product.
