Is Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil a Good Ingredient?

Rated Good as a stable, antioxidant-rich emollient that softens skin and supports barrier feel with a light finish, and it's usually non-irritating. Its moderate comedogenicity means very acne-prone users might not tolerate it as well, which is what keeps it from ranking higher.

Skin Benefits

Locks in moisture with a soft, non-greasy finish, leaving skin supple. Provides natural antioxidants that help support skin's resilience to daily stressors.

Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics

Found in moisturizers, facial oils, cleansing oils, lip balms, and sunscreens for emollience and slip.

Safety

Generally low irritation risk and well tolerated. Those prone to clogged pores may experience breakouts due to its moderate comedogenic rating (around 2); patch test if acne-prone or sensitive.
