What it is — Hordeum Vulgare (Barley) Extract (INCI: Hordeum Vulgare (Barley) Extract), also known as Barley Extract, is a plant-derived extract.

What it does — It is commonly used for soothing and antioxidant benefit.

Typical use — It appears in toners, essences, serums, masks and scalp products as a supporting botanical, often for a conditioning or antioxidant feel. Brands often include it for its plant story as much as its measurable contribution to the formula.

Who it suits / good to know — Generally well tolerated. As with any botanical, the specific composition can vary by harvest and processing, and plant extracts occasionally trigger sensitivity in reactive users. If you have known plant or pollen sensitivities, scan the botanicals on the label.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: gentle botanical. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — gentle botanical.
