About
Protein extracted from rice bran — a natural, amino-acid-rich ingredient that smooths and softens skin and hair while helping them hold onto moisture. Hypoallergenic and well-tolerated.
Oryza Sativa Bran Protein is a natural protein complex extracted from rice bran, the nutrient-dense outer layer of the rice grain. It is rich in amino acids — glutamic acid, aspartic acid, alanine, leucine, and others — that give it film-forming, moisture-binding, and skin-conditioning properties. On hair it binds to the cuticle via amino acid interactions and helps reduce breakage; on skin it supports the barrier and provides a light moisturizing effect. Rice bran protein has an excellent safety profile: it's a food-grade natural ingredient with no GHS hazards, no carcinogenic or endocrine concerns, and full biodegradability. The only meaningful caveat is that people with confirmed rice allergy (uncommon) should avoid it.
