For adults: barley extract is generally safe to use on the skin. It’s a plant ingredient often found in moisturizers and serums and has very low safety concerns in public safety listings.
Do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm and wait 24–48 hours before using it widely. Don’t put it on broken or raw skin. If you have a known allergy to barley, wheat, or other grains, avoid using products that list barley extract or talk with your doctor first. If you notice redness, itching, swelling, or any other irritation, stop using the product.
Public ingredient safety assessments list only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects, so these are not considered major risks. The main practical concern is allergic skin reaction for people with grain allergies—watch for rash, itching, or swelling and seek medical advice if they occur.
