6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies aged 6–12 months, barley leaf extract is usually safe on the skin. It’s used to soothe and protect skin and has a very low safety concern in public ingredient listings.
Use products made for babies and apply a small amount to a tiny patch of clean skin (inner forearm or thigh) and wait 24 hours to watch for any reaction. Don’t use on cuts or broken skin, keep it away from the eyes and mouth, and use only small amounts. If your baby has a known allergy to barley, wheat, or other grains, avoid products with this ingredient and check with your child’s pediatrician.
Although public ingredient safety listings show low concern for serious effects, parents should watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, or any breathing difficulty after use — stop use immediately and seek medical care for breathing problems. If your baby has a known grain or cereal allergy, do not use products with barley leaf extract. These precautions come from safety listings and standard pediatric guidance on plant extracts and topical allergies.
