Can older babies use Evernia Furfuracea?
ℹ️General Overview
For a baby 6-12 months old (infant), this ingredient, often called oakmoss or tree moss, is mainly a fragrance and can cause allergic skin reactions. Babies' skin is delicate, so the chance of redness or a rash is higher than for older kids or adults.
✅What to Do
Choose fragrance-free products for your 6- to 12-month-old when possible. Avoid products that list Evernia Furfuracea, oakmoss, or tree moss, especially on the face or near the diaper area. If a product with this ingredient must be used, prefer quick rinse-off products rather than leave-on creams, and do not apply to broken or irritated skin. If your baby has eczema or a family history of allergies, avoid this ingredient entirely.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, blisters, or persistent rash after using a product that may contain this ingredient. The allergy warning comes from a scientific safety opinion noting that oakmoss extracts can contain atranol and chloroatranol, which are known to cause allergic reactions; this ingredient is also restricted in some product safety programs.
