Concern level

High concern

A fixed plant oil expressed from the germ of Oryza sativa (rice). It functions primarily as an emollient and skin-conditioning ingredient, helping reduce transepidermal water loss and improve skin feel. Rice germ oil is naturally rich in triglycerides and unsaponifiables such as tocopherols and gamma-oryzanol, which contribute antioxidant support. CIR lists this ingredient as safe as used in cosmetics. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/ingredient/oryza-sativa-rice-germ-oil?utm_source=openai))
