Frequently Asked Questions
Is Spice & Black Vanilla safe for daily use?+
Spice & Black Vanilla is suitable for regular use for most adults, but individual tolerance varies. The Grade B PSS rating suggests it is generally safe as an eau de parfum, though the high concentration of polycyclic synthetic compounds means sensitive skin types may experience irritation. Discontinue if redness, itching, or respiratory discomfort occurs.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The primary ingredient of concern is Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes at 30% concentration, a synthetic polycyclic compound. While safety-rated, its dominance in the formula means patch testing is recommended before first use. If you have known fragrance sensitivities or reactive skin, consult a dermatologist before application.
What does a PSS of 6.8/10 (Grade B) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) Grade B indicates moderate safety for a fragrance product. A 6.8/10 reflects that while the product meets regulatory standards, it contains some ingredients or concentrations that warrant user awareness and caution—particularly for vulnerable populations like pregnant individuals, children, or those with sensitive skin.
