Rice Bran Oil

Rice bran oil is extracted from the bran (outer coating) of the brown rice grain and is rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins and essential oils.

A few of Rice Bran Oil's qualities are as follows:

- has constituents believed to hinder UV rays absorption at the skin’s surface.

- a mild oil used for dry, flaky, sensitive, mature and delicate skin types. Rice bran oil is effective for keeping skin smooth.

- is one of the best sources of tocotrienols, antioxidants that may be much more powerful and effective than Vitamin E.

- usually has very little odor and is a golden brown/orange color.

- absorbs easily into the skin without leaving a greasy residue.

This oil can be added to the base oils at the start of the soap making process or as a superfatting nutrient just before you add the essential oil and additives.
