HYDRATING & REBALANCING
Barley TONIQ® is also a rich source of proteins, peptides, polypeptides, and carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are known to help lock in moisture, whereas polypeptides are very well known for their anti-ageing properties, as are amino acids (the building blocks of both peptides and proteins).
Partnered with a local brewery, we upcycle barley spent grain leftovers that would otherwise go to waste and combine it with a microbiome-friendly and upcycled grade of propanediol, eliminating the need for any traditional preservative.
