About
Two-row barley seed flour — a soft cereal powder used as a gentle absorbent, mild exfoliant, and source of beta-glucans. Generally well tolerated.
Hordeum distichon seed flour is milled from two-row barley grain. In cosmetics it acts as an absorbent, bulking agent, and gentle exfoliant, and provides beta-glucans and starch with mild soothing and film-forming properties. The raw material is food-grade and listed in EU CosIng without restriction. There are no assigned GHS hazards. Main caveats are contact with cereal-/gluten-sensitive individuals and preservation requirements in aqueous systems.
