Rich in ferulic acid, gamma-oryzanol, tocopherols (vitamin E), tocotrienols, ceramides, squalene, and polyphenols, it delivers powerful antioxidant, brightening, moisturizing, and soothing benefits. This extract is widely used in anti-aging serums, brightening creams, moisturizers, masks, sunscreens, and sensitive skin products. It helps protect against oxidative stress, even skin tone, strengthen the barrier, and promote a radiant, healthy complexion.

Origin
Oryza Sativa Bran Extract is sourced from the bran layer of rice (Oryza sativa), a staple grain cultivated worldwide. The bran is separated during rice milling. It is then extracted using water, glycerin, or gentle solvents (sometimes supercritical CO₂ or enzymatic methods) to concentrate bioactive compounds like ferulic acid, γ-oryzanol, and ceramides. This eco-friendly process preserves the extract's potency, yielding a light amber liquid or powder suitable for natural and clean beauty formulations.
