For adults, bayberry (Myrica Cerifera) fruit wax is generally safe to use on the skin. Reviews and regulatory notes show no major health risks, and common concerns like cancer or reproductive effects are considered low.
Use products with this wax as directed. If you have sensitive skin or a history of plant allergies, try a small patch test on your inner arm and wait 24–48 hours before wider use. Stop using the product if you get redness, itching, or a rash.
Though overall concerns are low, watch for allergic skin reactions. The ingredient is listed by Environment Canada as not expected to be toxic, which supports its low-risk profile — but individual allergies can still occur. If you have a known allergy to bayberry or similar plants, avoid use and consult your healthcare provider.
