Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract
Botanical extract derived from the outer bran layer of Oryza sativa. In cosmetics it is mainly used as a skin-conditioning, soothing, and antioxidant-support ingredient, with rice-derived components historically associated with low sensitization potential. It is usually included at low levels in leave-on and rinse-off products.

Risks & Warnings
Generally low risk, but botanical extracts can cause irritation or allergy in sensitized individuals. Rice-derived ingredients may carry trace contaminant concerns if poorly sourced, including pesticide or heavy-metal impurities; well-controlled cosmetic-grade material mitigates this. Rare photoreactivity concerns have been discussed historically for rice-derived ingredients, but are not a common issue in modern cosmetic use.
