Where does it come from?
Hordeum vulgare, or barley, is a cereal grain that has been cultivated for thousands of years. It is one of the oldest cultivated grains and is widely grown around the world, particularly in temperate regions. The extract used in skincare is typically derived from the seeds or shoots of the barley plant. It can be obtained through various extraction processes, including cold pressing or solvent extraction, which help to preserve the beneficial compounds found in the plant.
Antioxidant Protection: The extract is rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin E and polyphenols, which help protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. This protection can reduce the signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Soothing and Calming: Hordeum vulgare extract has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated or sensitive skin. It is particularly beneficial for calming redness, irritation, and conditions like eczema or rosacea.
Moisturizing: The extract is known for its hydrating properties, helping to retain moisture in the skin and improve overall hydration. This can lead to softer, smoother skin with a healthy glow.
Nourishment: Rich in vitamins and minerals, Hordeum vulgare extract provides essential nutrients that support skin health and vitality. It can help strengthen the skin barrier and improve the skin's resilience to environmental stressors.
Anti-Aging: The combination of antioxidants and nutrients in Hordeum vulgare extract helps to combat the effects of aging by promoting collagen production, improving skin elasticity, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
