Science

Mechanism of Action

This botanical juice exerts its effects through a rich profile of antioxidants, which actively neutralize free radicals to mitigate oxidative stress and reduce signs of environmental damage. Its inherent moisturizing and soothing compounds contribute to skin hydration and alleviate irritation, while also supporting the epidermal barrier function. The presence of vital vitamins and minerals further nourishes the skin, promoting elasticity and a radiant complexion, complemented by anti-inflammatory properties.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Low

The CIR Expert Panel concluded that current data are insufficient to establish the safety of Hordeum Vulgare Flower/Leaf/Stem Juice under intended cosmetic use conditions, as of their 2020 review. While Hordeum Vulgare Leaf Juice (a subset) has seen reported use in leave-on formulations by 2021, the comprehensive flower/leaf/stem juice blend still lacks a definitive safety assessment. It is important to distinguish this from Malt extract from Hordeum vulgare L., which is GRAS for animal products, as its applicability to cosmetic human use is not directly transferable.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While offering documented benefits as an emollient, antioxidant, and soothing agent suitable for all skin types with low irritancy, regulatory safety data for the full flower/leaf/stem juice blend remains insufficient for a conclusive safety determination.
