For adults, bayberry (Myrica Cerifera) fruit wax is generally safe to use on the skin. Official reviews find no expected toxic effects and list the main concerns (like cancer or reproductive harm) as low. Some people may rarely get a skin reaction.
If you are an adult using a product with this wax, try a small patch test on the inside of your forearm first. Use it on intact skin only, and follow the product’s instructions. If you have sensitive skin or known plant allergies, test carefully or avoid the product. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and concerned, check with your healthcare provider.
Stop use and see a doctor if you get redness, swelling, itching, or a rash after using the product. The information about low risk and lack of expected toxicity comes from a government review (Environment Canada). Even though overall risk is low, allergic reactions can still happen in some people.
