About this product
Some oils vanish at once. Rice bran takes a moment to sink in, then leaves behind one of the softest, most velvety finishes of any carrier we offer, the kind that makes an evening massage linger.
Made from the bran of rice, Oryza sativa, and solvent extracted, it is a heavier, nourishing carrier, rich in gamma-oryzanol and phytosterols. Those phytosterols let it stand in for lanolin in your own recipes, and its natural antioxidants, gamma-oryzanol and tocotrienols, or vitamin E, contribute to the oil's stability. It is high in oleic, linoleic and palmitic acids, with traces of stearic and myristic acids.
