Frequently asked questions
- Is sh-barley seed extract safe during pregnancy?
- Hordeum/Barley seed extracts used in cosmetics are not listed with a harmonised reproductive classification in ECHA Annex VI, there are no SCCS/CIR safety assessments identifying reproductive hazards, and no consistent peer-reviewed evidence of teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity for barley seed extract as used topically. Sources searched: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised CLP for this ingredient), CIR (no adverse reproductive finding), PubMed (no consistent animal/human reproductive hazard data), CosIng and PubChem (ingredient identity/use).
- Is sh-barley seed extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No authoritative data indicating that topical barley seed extract causes reproductive or lactation-related toxicity or transfers into breast milk; no harmonised hazard classification or SCCS/CIR contraindication identified. Exposure from typical cosmetic topical use is expected to be low. Sources: CIR, SCCS absence of warnings, ECHA/CosIng entries indicating cosmetic use.
- 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.
