Description

Rice Bran Oil (Oryza sativa) is a fine, non-greasy oil, excellent for the care of the delicate area around the eyes, for dull, mature skin, for applications intended to soothe sensitive and couperose skin, and for lightweight formulas destined for combination or oily skin.

Extracted from rice bran, the nutrient-rich brown outer layer of the cereal, through a pressing process followed by a light refining for dewaxing and deodorization. Unlike other oils, the refining process is optimized to preserve a large portion of the lipophilic complex called Gamma-Oryzanol (composed of ferulic acid esters with phytosterols), a potent antioxidant complex specific to rice, these being exactly the molecules that give it its outstanding cosmetic value.

Usage & Synergies

Face care

Rice Bran Oil is recommended for any skin type, especially for mature, dull, couperose skin or skin with dark circles, where gamma-oryzanol adds a distinctive value compared to other oils. It is a stable and sensorially neutral base, ideal for premium cosmetic formulations.

Practical recommendations

  • Daily face oil: Apply a few drops to clean skin in the morning or evening. Rapid absorption, suitable even under makeup.
  • Ingredient in eye serums or creams: Incorporate at 10-30% into formulas for the periocular area. 
  • Ingredient in antioxidant serums: Use as a base or co-ingredient in oily serums with an antioxidant profile.

Synergies in face care

As a lightweight day antioxidant serum, the synergy with Safflower Oil and Vitamin E provides a light texture and complementary action. For the eye area, the association with Organic Evening Primrose Oil and Centella Oil maintains a fine texture for the sensitive periocular skin. As an ingredient in creams for couperose skin, combining it with Bisabolol and Calendula Oil offers a soothing and emollient formula.

Body care

At the body level, it is a good choice for body oils, after-sun formulas, hand creams, and various other body care applications.

Practical recommendations

  • Light body oil: Apply to damp skin after showering for fine and rapid hydration.
  • Ingredient in body butter: For preparing body butter with a premium texture, alongside other vegetable oils and butters.

Synergies in body care

As a lightweight and antioxidant body oil, the synergy with Milk Thistle Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil, and Aloe Vera Oil offers a light texture with a complex antioxidant profile.

Hair care

On hair, Rice Bran oil is an ingredient for shine and protection for fine or normal hair, though it is not a primary choice oil for hair care.

Practical recommendations

  • Leave-in serum: Apply a few drops to the ends for discrete shine without weighing it down.
  • Ingredient in hair creams: Incorporate into leave-in formulas for extra nutrition and shine.

Synergies in hair care

As a shine serum for fine hair, the synergy with Organic Broccoli Seed Oil and Phyto-Silicone provides shine and protection.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is gamma-oryzanol?
It is a natural blend of ferulic acid esters with phytosterols, specific to rice bran. It has documented antioxidant properties, stronger than those of vitamin E alone. It contributes to protection against photoaging.

Is the Ellemental product refined or unrefined?
It is lightly refined (dewaxed, deodorized), a physical process that removes waxes and the specific odor, without destroying the lipophilic active compounds.

Is it suitable for oily skin?
Its light texture recommends it for combination or slightly oily skin, unlike denser oils with a similar antioxidant profile.

I use it as such after cleansing and applying aloe vera. I recently improved my composition by adding a few drops of coenzyme Q10. This oil has basically replaced any cream I used before. I will no longer rely on creams, I've changed my skincare ritual, using only Ellemental products.
