5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (school-age children, kids, preteens), barley leaf extract used on the skin is generally safe and unlikely to cause harm.
If you plan to use a product with this ingredient on a child age 5+, do a small patch test first (inner forearm or behind the ear) and wait 24 hours to check for any redness, itching, or swelling. Use on unbroken skin only, start with a small amount, avoid the eyes and mouth, and keep products out of reach when not in use. If your child has a known allergy to barley, grasses, or similar plants, talk with your pediatrician before using.
The provided ingredient safety data show only low-level concerns, but parents should still watch for allergic or irritating skin reactions. Stop use and rinse the area if you see persistent redness, rash, blistering, swelling, or if the child is unusually uncomfortable. Seek medical help if a severe reaction occurs. Also avoid use on cuts, scrapes, or other broken skin.
