Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Malt flour from sprouted barley grain supplies vitamins and enzymes for masks and scrubs. It is generally well tolerated but requires careful preservation and may concern gluten-sensitive users.

Skin benefits

  • Provides B vitamins, amino acids, and enzymes that condition skin
  • Acts as a mild exfoliant and soothing ingredient in masks and scrubs
  • Food-grade sourcing supports clean beauty positioning
  • Adds a gentle conditioning effect to rinse-off products

Known concerns

  • Contains gluten which can trigger reactions in highly sensitised individuals
  • Microbiological control needed because flour supports microbial growth
  • Limited dedicated cosmetic safety data versus food data
