Oryza sativa germ powder, the rice powder, is used in cosmetic formulations. The rice powder acts as a swelling agent (reduces the bulk density of cosmetic products) and as an abrasive (acts abrasively, i.e. it removes impurities from the body surface, supports mechanical tooth cleaning and/or improves the shine).
