Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil Description

(rice) bran oil is the oil extracted from the husks (bran) of grains of rice. It is used as a barrier-repairing emollient, and like most plant extracts, has antioxidant properties.

Research demonstrates there is much more to rice bran oil than its moisturizing abilities. It is a rich source of barrier repairing fatty acids, among them oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid. Even more exciting, studies indicate that rice bran oil can help target factors that lead to dark spots and uneven skin tone, making it a worthy addition in products designed to correct these issues.

(rice) bran oil has been ruled safe as used in cosmetics by the independent Cosmetic Ingredient Review and does not sensitize skin – in fact, it helps soothe it. In its raw form, rice bran oil has a dark gold color. Because it is a byproduct of rice production, it is also considered an eco-friendly skin care ingredient.
