Frequently asked questions

Is hydrolyzed barley protein safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI) or CIR/SCCS reproductive safety warning was identified, and there are no peer‑reviewed reports of reproductive or developmental toxicity for hydrolyzed barley protein; standard cosmetic use is therefore not expected to pose reproductive hazard (CIR/SCCS absent; PubMed no repro studies).
Is hydrolyzed barley protein safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating systemic toxicity, lactation transfer, or breastmilk effects. As a high‑molecular‑weight peptide mixture used topically with low expected dermal absorption, risk via breastfeeding is not indicated (no harmonised classification; no PubMed reports).
Is hydrolyzed barley protein safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants; mechanism concerns not identified. Exposure score increased by +1 for infants (e=1) to reflect higher per‑kg exposure and immature skin barrier leading to higher potential dermal uptake compared with adults, despite no specific absorption data.
