FunctionRepair Protein

What it is — Hydrolyzed Barley Protein (INCI: Hydrolyzed Barley Protein) is a barley-derived protein broken into smaller fragments for hair and skin conditioning.

What it does — It coats and conditions the hair, commonly used to help smooth the surface, improve manageability and give a stronger-feeling, better-conditioned finish.

Typical use — Found in conditioners, hair masks, leave-ins and some skin treatments.

Who it suits / good to know — Suits those wanting protein-based hair conditioning; combine with moisture-focused ingredients for balance. Those with grain or gluten sensitivities may prefer to avoid barley derivatives.

Safety — Graded low risk as a well-tolerated conditioning protein. This is general information, not medical advice. Patch-test if you have grain-protein sensitivities.
