Oryza Sativa Bran Water

What Oryza Sativa Bran Water is & what it does

Oryza Sativa Bran Water is the water-based fraction obtained from rice (Oryza sativa) bran. In skincare formulas it is used as a botanical, water-phase ingredient that can carry small amounts of naturally occurring components from the bran and contribute to a lightweight, watery feel. A notable point is that rice-derived ingredients are a long-standing part of traditional Asian skincare, where rice water has been used on skin for generations.

What does Oryza Sativa Bran Water do in skincare?

Oryza Sativa Bran Water is a rice-bran-derived, water-phase ingredient. It is used to carry naturally occurring components from rice bran and to contribute a light, watery feel to a formula. It is a botanical, water-based component rather than a strong active.

Is Oryza Sativa Bran Water safe?

Rice-derived water ingredients are commonly used in skincare and are generally considered gentle and well tolerated. As with any botanical ingredient, those with relevant allergies could react, so patch testing is sensible if you are sensitive. We do not make medical claims about it.

Is Oryza Sativa Bran Water vegan?

Oryza Sativa Bran Water is derived from rice, a plant source, so the ingredient itself contains no animal-derived material. Whether a finished product is vegan depends on its other ingredients and the brand's policies. Check the specific product's claims to be sure.
