Frequently asked questions

Is sh-barley seed extract safe for baby skin?

No evidence that barley seed extract is a developmental toxicant for infants; hazard and mechanism evidence lacking. However, per the exposure rules, infant skin has higher absorption potential than adult skin, so exposure score is increased by +1 (from negligible to low measurable absorption) for 0–3 year skin in absence of specific dermal absorption data. Sources: CosIng/PubChem (use and ingredient identity) and general pediatric dermal absorption principles.
