Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Evernia Furfuracea?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants (0-6 months) this ingredient is not recommended. It is a fragrance from oak/tree moss that can cause allergic skin reactions, and babies have extra-sensitive skin.
✅What to Do
Prefer fragrance-free skin products for newborns and babies. If a product lists Evernia Furfuracea, oakmoss, treemoss, or similar fragrance names, do not use it on a baby under 6 months. If you cannot avoid it, test a very small area on the baby’s leg and wait 48 hours; stop use immediately if there is any redness, rash, swelling or breathing problems and seek care.
⚠️Warnings
The main concern is allergic reaction from natural components (for example atranol and chloroatranol) identified by the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products. Some product safety programs restrict this ingredient unless safety is documented. Watch for any rash, redness, blisters, swelling, or trouble breathing after exposure and avoid using fragranced products on infants' faces, folds, or large areas of skin.
