- Product Background
Rice (Oryza Sativa) is a staple in many cultures and its importance has been recognized for many centuries. The inclusion of rice bran in cosmetics has legendary origins dating back to Japanese stories of sake distillery workers having soft hands from the bran in rice hulls. Oryza Sativa is a member of the Poaceae plant family, and it is rich in ferulic acid. An organic compound found in the cell walls of plants, ferulic acid is a known antioxidant that also protects skin cells from light or radiation induced damage. Rice Bran BT can act as both an antioxidant and soothing agent in cosmetic applications. BioTransformation is a unique extraction technology that uses plant derived enzymes to simplify complex botanical actives so they are more easily assimilated by the skin. This sustainable methodology allows for the use of minimal plant material with maximum results.
