About Rice Bran Oil

Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil

Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil is a lightweight, non-comedogenic emollient extracted from the outer husk of rice grains. Its fatty acid profile—approximately 38% oleic acid, 34% linoleic acid, and 21% palmitic acid—helps repair and reinforce the skin’s lipid barrier while reducing transepidermal water loss. Rich in antioxidants such as γ-oryzanol, ferulic acid, tocopherols, and tocotrienols, it neutralizes free radicals, protects against UV-induced damage, and supports collagen integrity. Additionally, compounds like squalene and coenzyme Q10 enhance moisture retention and deliver soothing, anti-inflammatory benefits, making it ideal for dry, sensitive, or aging skin formulations.
