About
Water pressed from the stems of einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum). A gentle botanical water used for hydration and light conditioning. Low-concern but wheat-derived.
Triticum monococcum stem water is the aqueous fraction expressed from the stems of einkorn, an ancient diploid wheat. It carries trace sugars, amino acids and plant minerals and functions largely as a botanical solvent or mild humectant. Einkorn does contain gluten (though of different structure to bread wheat), and cosmetic stem waters are typically very dilute; still, gluten-sensitive users may prefer to avoid. No regulatory flags; not a fragrance allergen source. Efficacy claims beyond hydration are weakly substantiated.
