Pure Rice Bran Oil – Nourishing & Antioxidant‑Rich Carrier Oil

Pure Rice Bran Oil – Nourishing, Antioxidant‑Rich Carrier Oil

Harvested from the nutritious outer layer of rice grains (Oryza sativa), our pure rice bran oil is gently refined to preserve its natural goodness. This light, golden oil is rich in gamma‑oryzanol and vitamin E, potent antioxidants that help protect your skin and hair from free‑radical damage while delivering deep moisture. Because it absorbs quickly and has a neutral aroma, rice bran oil is ideal for sensitive skin and a versatile choice for massage, aromatherapy or DIY beauty formulations.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Nutrient‑dense & gentle: Gamma‑oryzanol, tocopherols and a balanced fatty acid profile (oleic and linoleic acids) nourish skin and hair without clogging pores.

  • Skin‑soothing benefits: Helps relieve conditions like eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and dermatitis, while improving elasticity, reducing fine lines and restoring a healthy glow.

  • Anti‑ageing & protective: Vitamin E and antioxidants tighten and firm skin, aid wrinkle reduction and combat free radicals that lead to premature ageing.

  • Hair & scalp care: Softens hair, adds shine and hydrates a dry or itchy scalp.

  • Ideal carrier oil: Perfect for diluting essential oils in massage or aromatherapy blends thanks to its mild, neutral fragrance.

How to Use

  • As a moisturiser: Massage a few drops into clean skin morning and night. For facial use, mix with a drop of your favourite essential oil.

  • Hair treatment: Warm a small amount between your palms and apply to the ends of damp hair or massage into the scalp. Leave on for 20–30 minutes before shampooing.

  • Aromatherapy & massage: Use as a carrier oil for essential oils; mix 4–5 drops of essential oil per tablespoon of rice bran oil for a soothing body massage.

Safety & Storage: For external use only. Perform a patch test before using to check for sensitivity. Store in a cool, dark place and keep out of reach of children and pets. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a medical condition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is your rice bran oil cold‑pressed or refined?
A: Our rice bran oil is gently refined to remove impurities while retaining its key nutrients, such as gamma‑oryzanol and vitamin E. This process ensures a light colour and neutral aroma, making it suitable for sensitive skin and aromatherapy blends.

Q: What is gamma‑oryzanol and why is it beneficial?
A: Gamma‑oryzanol is a powerful antioxidant naturally found in rice bran oil. It helps neutralise free radicals, supports skin elasticity and may reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its antioxidant activity is often cited as more potent than vitamin E, offering additional protection against environmental stressors.

Q: Can rice bran oil be used on the face?
A: Yes. Rice bran oil is lightweight and non‑comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores. It absorbs quickly and provides deep hydration, making it ideal for facial use. Apply a few drops to clean skin or mix with your favourite serum or essential oil blend. Always perform a patch test first to check for sensitivity.

Q: Is rice bran oil safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
A: While rice bran oil is generally considered gentle and safe for topical use, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before using any new products during pregnancy or breastfeeding. A patch test is advisable to ensure there are no adverse reactions.

Q: How does rice bran oil compare to other carrier oils?
A: Rice bran oil is rich in antioxidants and has a balanced fatty acid profile that makes it suitable for most skin types. Unlike heavier oils such as coconut or olive oil, it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. Its neutral scent and light texture also make it a versatile base for essential oil blends.
