Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract is derived from the outer layer of rice grains and is rich in antioxidants, vitamins (notably vitamin E and gamma-oryzanol), and fatty acids. It is used in skincare for its emollient, soothing, and antioxidant properties, and may help support skin barrier function and brightness.
