Rice Bran Oil is the oil extracted from the hard outer brown layer of rice called bran. The oil retains the vast majority of the active compounds and benefits of brown rice. The extraordinary properties of rice bran oil make it a top choice for body care products. Rich in essential fatty acids, trace elements, vitamin E, and mineral salts, rice bran oil helps moisturize the skin and promotes skin microcirculation. Rice bran oil has healing, restructuring, soothing, cicatrizing, repairing (reduces skin inflammation) and decongesting properties. Its anti-aging action and anti-oxidant properties prevent and combat the harmful effects of free radicals that are responsible for skin aging. They protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation, pollution and environmental damage.
Rice Bran Oil is an excellent oil for inclusion in Cold Process Soap recipes. Many soap makers love using rice bran oil to create a creamy, moisturizing quality to their soaps without having to use olive oil.
