ℹ️General Overview
For children aged 5 years and older (school-age kids and preteens), bayberry (Myrica Cerifera) fruit wax is generally safe when used on the skin. It is a plant wax used to moisturize and protect skin. Safety reviews classify it as low concern for serious harms and not expected to be toxic.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product that lists this ingredient: choose products formulated for children when possible, do a small patch test on the inside of the child’s forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching, use the product as directed and avoid applying to broken or sore skin, stop use if the child shows irritation, and talk with your pediatrician before use if your child has severe eczema or known plant/berry allergies.
⚠️Warnings
Although overall concern is low, a safety review (Environment Canada) found it is not expected to be organ-toxic and not suspected to be an environmental toxin. Still, watch for allergic skin reactions (redness, itching, swelling) because plant-derived ingredients can cause sensitivity in some children. If your child develops persistent rash, swelling, trouble breathing, or other worrying symptoms after contact, stop use and seek medical care. Do not use larger than recommended amounts and keep products out of reach of young children.
