Rice bran oil serves as a raw material for the production of soap. It is also well suited for the production of various skin care creams as it is absorbed into the skin relatively quickly. S.a. Oryza sativa germ oil (INCI)

The oxidative stability and the content of UVA- and UVB-absorbing, antioxidant gamma-oryzanol (about 1.5%) makes Rice bran acid particularly suitable for use in sunscreen preparations and day care. The phytosterol content promotes absorption and has a soothing effect on sensitive and dry skin.
