How we scored it
Hydrolysate of barley grain protein; amino acid and peptide fragments trace fully to barley protein. All atoms natural. 1.0 by category rule.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
Made by hydrolysing protein extracted from barley grain into smaller peptides and amino acids using acid, enzymes, or another hydrolysis method. No synthetic alternative route is used commercially.
In plain English
A hair- and skin-conditioning ingredient made by breaking barley grain protein into smaller peptides and amino acids. It helps hair feel smoother and skin feel moisturized.
CosIng definition: Hydrolyzed Barley Protein is the hydrolysate of barley protein derived by acid, enzyme or other method of hydrolysis
