Oryza sativa (rice) powder is a cosmetic-grade powder milled from rice grains. It absorbs excess surface oil, gives a soft-focus finish, and provides very mild polishing action in cleansers, masks, and finishing products.

Our take
Is Oryza Sativa (Rice) Powder a Good Ingredient?
Rated Fair: it provides oil absorption and very mild buffing for a soft-focus finish, but the effects are superficial and don't compare to better-studied actives. Overuse can lead to dryness or mild abrasion, which is enough to keep it below Good.
