Rice Bran Oil
Oryza sativa
Lightweight Radiance for Skin, Hair & Culinary Wellness
Cold-pressed from the outer husk of rice grains, this golden oil is a treasure trove of gamma-oryzanol, vitamin E, and ferulic acid—potent antioxidants that shield skin from UV damage, pollution, and premature aging. Its balanced fatty acids (oleic and linoleic) deeply hydrate without greasiness, making it ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, or mature skin. Lightweight and fast-absorbing, it brightens dull complexions, tightens pores, and strengthens the skin barrier. For hair, it adds shine, tames frizz, and soothes irritated scalps. A culinary star with a high smoke point, it’s also rich in heart-healthy phytosterols. Comedogenic rating 2/5—suitable for most skin types. Shelf-stable for 6–12 months; store in a cool, dark place.
Lyddies Botanics’ Note: Ethically sourced from organic, upcycled rice bran (a byproduct of sustainable rice farming in Thailand). Cold-pressed and unrefined to preserve its nutrient-rich profile. A zero-waste champion for formulations that honor both beauty and Earth. 🌾
Key Uses:
- Skin: Antioxidant serums, SPF blends, gentle makeup removers.
- Hair: Pre-wash treatments, split-end sealants, or scalp massages.
- Culinary: Light frying, dressings, or drizzling for internal wellness.
Tip: Blend with squalane for a silky facial oil or mix into DIY body scrubs with brown sugar for glowing skin.
Safety: Rarely allergenic, but patch-test if sensitive to rice. Avoid prolonged sun exposure after topical use (ferulic acid enhances photosensitivity).
