Rice Bran Oil also has constituents believed to hinder UV ray’s absorption at the skin’s surface. Rice bran is an excellent moisturizer which is both soothing and smoothing.

As such, Rice Bran Oil is used in many types of skin and hair sunscreen products and is incorporated into shampoos, conditioners ad special hair treatments where it adds sheen while moisturizing and conditioning the hair without weighing it down. It is even used in lipsticks providing lip conditioning and strong mold stability, and in nail polishes to provide smooth spread ability. Usage levels in formulations are 0.5 - 10 %. Rice bran is an excellent moisturizer which is both soothing and smoothing. Rice bran oil is excellent when used as the key ingredient in facial and skin oils as it imparts a beautiful soft feeling, which you can add other oils to enhance the skin benefit effects.
