Hordeum vulgare extract is extracted from barley and contains polyphenolic compounds such as flavonoids and organic acids. It also contains proteins and a special polysaccharide compound called ß-glucan (or beta-glucan), which has immunomodulatory properties and is a very beneficial compound for skin healing.
This extract has soothing and emollient properties when included in skincare products.
Barley is a commonly grown grain crop that has been used for centuries to make bread, malt, and beer. The majority of the barley seed consists of starches, which give it its high nutritional value. The starch is largely removed for the purposes of the extract.
