About

Barley grass juice — the green-leaf juice of barley, rich in chlorophyll and polyphenols, used for antioxidant and soothing cosmetic effects.

Hordeum vulgare leaf juice is pressed from the young green leaves of barley and is the same material widely consumed as "barley grass juice". It is rich in chlorophyll, flavonoids, and vitamins, supporting antioxidant and mild soothing function. The raw material is food-grade with a good safety record. EU CosIng lists it without restriction and no GHS hazard class is assigned. Caveats include gluten/cereal allergen potential for barley and green-pigment staining in formulations.
