Description

The rice bran oil is extracted from organic plants using CO2 compression. Great for dry, sensitive and/or tired-looking skin, it helps prevent joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain as well as skin irritations and itchiness .

Characteristics

Contains 3-5 times more free fatty acids than most other oils making it exceptionally nourishing for your skin.

Chemistry

The typical composition of crude rice bran oil is 81.3-84.3% triglycerides, 2-3% diglycerides, 5-6% monoglycerides, 2-3% free fatty acids, 0.3% waxes, 0.8% glycolipids, 1.6% phospholipids, 4% unsaponifiables. In comparison with other vegetable oils, crude rice bran oil tends to contain higher levels of non-triglyceride components, most of which are removed during further refining processes. The free fatty acids, monoglycerides and diglycerides in rice bran oil are associated with enzymatic hydrolysis. The phospholispids predominantly include phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanaolamine, and phosphatidylinositol.
