Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Rice bran has been used in Asian skincare for centuries, particularly in Japan and Korea, for its skin-brightening and antioxidant properties. The hydrolyzed form was developed to enhance absorption and efficacy in modern formulations.
