Green Tree Moss Absolute 50% in DPG

Original designation: Mousse arbre verte ABS 50 % DPG

Pseudevernia furfuracea

Tree moss is drier and more woody than oakmoss, with tobacco, leather and resinous forest facets. A stated dilution or soap grade describes presentation and intended handling, so it should inspire formulation choices without being mistaken for a pure extract.

The recorded DPG carrier makes the material easier to dose and handle as a prepared strength.
