Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract is derived from rice and is used in skincare for its antioxidant, brightening, and soothing properties, owing to its content of ferulic acid, vitamins, and amino acids. It is often included to help even skin tone and provide mild moisturizing and barrier-supporting benefits.
