oakmoss extract

Mid risk

FunctionFragrance

What it is — Oakmoss Extract (INCI: Evernia Prunastri Extract) is derived from a lichen and is a classic fixative used in perfumery for its deep, earthy scent.

What it does — In cosmetics it functions mainly as a fragrance and scent-fixing component rather than as a skincare active.

Typical use — It appears at low levels in scented skincare, body and hair products, and within fragrance blends.

Who it suits / good to know — Oakmoss is a recognised fragrance allergen and is restricted in the EU, so it is among the components more likely to trigger sensitivity in fragrance-reactive people. Fragrance-free options exist if scent is a known trigger for you.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk: an aromatic extract and known fragrance-allergen source. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test before wider use if your skin is reactive, and discontinue if irritation occurs.

Why we grade it Mid: Mid risk - aromatic moss extract and known fragrance allergen source.
