Ingredients Explained
Hordeum Vulgare Extract is an extract of barley, the same grain used in beer and bread.
In skincare, it is a skin conditioning and hydrating agent. This ingredient contains polyphenols, vitamin E, and trace minerals like zinc, copper, and selenium that help neutralize free radicals behind oxidative skin stress.
Lab studies on human skin cells show it can support the skin barrier, boost cell survival, and speed repair after UV exposure.
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel has reviewed 16 barley-derived ingredients and concluded they're safe as used with the highest reported use concentration being 1.5% (in leave-on body/hand products).
Patch testing has also found it not to be a skin irritant or sensitizer at cosmetic levels.
However, barley is a recognized food allergen so people with a known barley/grain allergy should approach it cautiously.
Note: This ingredient is not gluten-free for those avoiding gluten for skin-contact reasons.
