Functions
Perfuming
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Traditional Use
Oak moss lichen has been used in traditional European perfumery for centuries as a fragrance fixative and has been incorporated into skincare products for its antimicrobial properties. It became a standard ingredient in fine fragrances before restrictions were introduced due to allergenicity concerns.
