Oryza Sativa (rice) Ceramide is a plant-derived ceramide extracted from rice bran, used to replenish the skin's intercellular lipid matrix and support barrier function and hydration. It is valued as a vegan, plant-based alternative to animal- or synthetically-derived ceramides.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mild transient irritation or stinging | Rare | Generally well tolerated; occasional mild irritation usually relates to other formulation components. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Possible in individuals sensitized to rice-derived proteins or residual extract components. |
| Contact urticaria in rice-allergic individuals | Very rare | Theoretical risk for those with known rice allergy; documented cases are scarce. |
