Rice bran oil is the oil extracted from the husk of the rice grain. The process involves pressing the hull or bran of the rice grain, which squeezes out the oil. The main benefit of this carrier oil to our skin is its wonderful deep-moisturising capability. It acts as the foundation that naturally evolves your skin into a radiant one. It works by settling deep into the skin pores and hydrating it. Used topically, the oil has the potential to even out skin tone thereby brightening the complexion. It is minimising the appearance of dark circles in our eyes, blemishes and pigmentation of the skin. It can also help to minimise the appearance of wrinkles.

These skin benefits are largely attributed to a rich array of fatty acids in the rice bran oil such as Vitamin B and E, and Omega-9. It is also a rich source of antioxidants, such as beta-carotene and lycopene, which can shield skin from environmental and internal stressors.

Rice Bran oil naturally contains squalene. It is similar to the sebum found in human skin. Squalene is a significant component in this carrier oil since its antioxidant properties enables the oil to protect the body against the appearance of ageing, thus, can cover up age spots and give that radiant glow.
