Safety Profile
The Expert Panel for Cosmetic Ingredient Safety (CIR) concluded that the available data for Hordeum Vulgare Stem Water, along with other barley-derived ingredients, were insufficient to determine its safety as used in cosmetic products. They have requested additional data, such as 28-day dermal toxicity results or acceptable evidence of safe use as a food, to make a comprehensive safety determination. No specific SCCS opinion or FDA status for this ingredient was found.
