Ingredient Insight - Rice Bran Oil

Rice Bran Oil is an excellent oil for skincare.  Extracted from Rice Bran, which comes from brown rice, it is rich in Vitamin E and Gamma Oryzanol, both potent antioxidants.  When applied to the skin it encourages skin renewal and has some UV absorption properties, making it a good oil for helping to prevent premature ageing.  It is light, with good spreadability and is easily absorbed by the skin.  Overall, rice bran oil is mild and softening with excellent moisturising and protective properties.  

Internally, rice bran oil also has many benefits being high in Omega-6. Gamma Oryzanol has also been shown to reduce cholesterol.  It is stable up to very high temperatures, which makes it an excellent oil for frying and cooking in general.

We use it in our Body Butters, Hand Creams, Rejuvenating Facial Serum and Restorative Body Oil.
