Organic rice oil

Rice oil is extracted from the hard, brown outer layer of rice known as the husk. The oil has a mild, neutral taste and a light brown colour. This traditional Japanese cosmetic oil cleanses and brightens the skin and conditions the hair. It softens and brightens the skin. Rice oil is useful in treating various skin conditions, such as rubella, acne and eczema. Its properties make it an excellent choice for dry, weakened and dehydrated skin. The oil is very light and nourishes the skin without leaving it greasy. The vitamin E in rice oil speeds up wound healing, boosts cell regeneration, smooths the skin, reduces wrinkles and provides protection against sunburn. Rice oil is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants and absorbs quickly into the skin, making it particularly pleasant to use. Its main components are unsaturated fatty acids (46% oleic acid, 36% linoleic acid and 1% linolenic acid). Its combination of fatty acids, vitamins and minerals is unique. Rice oil is rich in squalene, which occurs naturally in the skin's lipids, forming a protective barrier against harmful external factors. High-quality rice oil contains high levels of the carbohydrate compound inositol, which keeps the skin supple and gives it a smooth, even texture. This oil also contains omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. It is obtained by pressing rice bran, is natural and eligible for organic certification, and contains no synthetic additives.

Its mechanism of action involves moisturising and restoring the skin barrier through squalene and unsaturated fatty acids, which mimic the skin's natural lipids. Vitamin E, gamma-oryzanol and tocotrienols provide powerful antioxidant protection against free radicals, slowing down ageing. The anti-inflammatory properties of linoleic acid soothe irritated skin and support cell regeneration. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film, and cleanses and brightens the skin. The recommended concentration in cosmetics is 5-20% for moisturising creams and oils.

It is recommended for dry, sensitive, dehydrated, mature, oily and acne-prone skin, including skin affected by atopic dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis. It is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, does not clog pores and is suitable for all ages, including children. Ideal for preventing wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and UV damage.

A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science (2004) demonstrated that applying rice oil increases skin hydration by 25% after 4 weeks of daily use and improves elasticity by 18%, thanks to its gamma-oryzanol and vitamin E content. Further research in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science (2012) showed that a 10% concentration of rice oil in an emulsion reduces transepidermal water loss by 30% and strengthens the skin barrier in subjects with dry skin.
