The formulation challenge
Effective actives are hard to source consistently
Cosmetic actives that shift in potency between batches make consistent efficacy and formulation stability hard to guarantee.
Animal-derived or poorly characterized actives introduce origin and contamination concerns that clean-beauty formulators increasingly need to avoid.
Formulators need defined, documented actives to support product claims and regulatory dossiers.

Human-like activity from barley seed extract
DERMOkine® actives are plant-based replicas of human growth factors and biopeptides, produced in the endosperm tissue of the barley plant (Hordeum vulgare).
Endotoxin-free, high-quality replicas
Produced without animal cells or bacterial fermentation, DERMOkine® actives are endotoxin-free, high-quality replicas of naturally occurring signalling peptides.
Consistent, documented actives
Signalling peptides such as growth factors and biopeptides help maintain the skin’s natural youthfulness and vitality; DERMOkine® delivers them as defined, documented ingredients.
