IntegriLIPID Rice Bran Oil
Short Description:
The fatty acid profile of rice bran oil is characterised by about 40% oleic and 40% linoleic acid, the latter being an extremely important component for maintaining the moisture and elasticity of the skin. Rice bran oil is of special importance to the cosmetic industry due to its high content of very valuable unsaponifiables. It is a very rich source of tocopherols, phytosterols and phytic acid. Rice bran oil typically contains up to 1000ppm tocopherols (vitamin E).
Of particular note is the presence of gamma-Oryzanol. Gamma-Oryzanol is a mixture of several phytosterols, mainly campesterol, cycloartenol and methyl cycloartenol, bound with ferulic acid. It exerts various important actions on the skin, e.g. it enhances the peripheral blood flow, it is an effective UV-filter and reduces the effect of sunburn on the skin. Furthermore it contains phytic acid, a very effective chelating compound, which enhances the stability of the oil, acting as metal scavenger. Shelf Life: 1 year
