Ingredients Explained

Oryza Sativa Bran Oil

Emollient, Skin Conditioning

This oil comes from the outer layer (bran) of rice grains. It is packed with skin-friendly fatty acids to soften and condition the skin while supporting your moisture barrier.

What makes it stand out from other plant oils is its naturally high concentration of gamma-oryzanol, a potent antioxidant. This antioxidant has shown some UV-absorptive properties in research.

Other antioxidants found in this oil include tocopherols, tocotrienols, and ferulic acid.

According to manufacturers, this oil has a lightweight texture that absorbs nicely.

The CIR (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) has concluded this ingredient to be safe as used in cosmetics and it has not shown to be a skin sensitizer in testing (unless you have a known rice allergy).

Due to the fatty acids (primarily Oleic Acid ~40%, Linoleic Acid ~30%, and some Palmitic Acid), this ingredient may not be fungal acne safe.

Sodium Olivate

Cleansing, Emulsifying, Surfactant

Sodium olivate is created by saponifying olive oil. It is a sodium salt of olive oil and has cleansing properties.

Saponification is the chemical process of turning fats/oils into soap by reacting them with an alkali, typically sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.

Potassium Soyate

Cleansing, Emulsifying

Oryza Sativa Bran

Abrasive

Oryza Sativa Bran is the nutrient-rich outer layer of the rice grain that is included in formulations as a gentle physical exfoliant.

The tiny bran particles mechanically buff away dead surface skin and/or as a natural filler that adjusts a product's texture + density.

Because this ingredient is physical, there is no regulated concentration limit. It has also been deemed safe, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel.

Just be careful about over-exfoliating or scrubbing too hard as this can cause irritation.
