Tree Moss Extract

Other names: Evernia Furfuracea Extract, Treemoss Absolute

Tree moss extract, whose other names are Evernia Furfuracea Extract or Treemoss Absolute, is often used in the cosmetic industry for its exceptional properties. It comes from a lichen well known for its aromatic character and grows on and around trees in the northern parts of America, Europe and Asia. Due to its distinctive scent, it is mainly used in the production of perfumes, but can also be found in other body care products such as soaps, shower gels and creams.

Evernia Furfuracea Extract, more commonly known as Tree Moss Extract, not only gives products a fresh, earthy, and woodsy scent, but is also prized for its antiseptic properties. This also makes it popular in lotions and other skin care products that can help fight acne or other skin imperfections. In addition, it can also appear in oral hygiene products as part of natural alternatives to traditional toothpaste. However, although the extract is naturally derived, it is important to note that some individuals may be allergic to this particular extract, and therefore it is always advisable to perform an allergy test before using any new cosmetic product.
