Organic Rice Bran Oil

Properties

As a cosmetic ingredient, organic rice bran oil is renowned for these properties:

• Prevents and combats skin ageing thanks to its complex of antioxidant and anti-free radical molecules.

• Fights against damage caused by free radicals (tobacco, pollution, etc.).

• Calming and soothing due to the presence of phytosterols.

• Beneficial in treatments to reduce the appearance of eye bags or dark circles.

• Enables the formulation of products with a dry touch: leaves the skin soft without feeling greasy.

• Thickens and stabilises emulsions.

Indications

• Mature skin

• Asphyxiated, dull complexion, polluted by ambient air

• Eye area products

• Skin prone to discomfort

In practice

• This oil tends to solidify, forming flakes at room temperature. This phenomenon has no effect on its quality and these clumps become liquid again at a higher temperature. We recommend warming it before use by running it under lukewarm water to liquefy it.

• Organic Rice Bran carrier oil can be used:

  • Mixed with other carrier oils and possibly essential oils to formulate care or massage oils.

  • In combination with butters and possibly waxes for the formulation of body balms.

  • As an oil phase in the composition of creams and lotions for hands, body and face.
