Tree Moss Resinoid, Soap Grade

Original designation: Mousse arbre RDE savon

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.
