Oryzanol, extracted from rice bran oil, has antioxidant properties. Popularly used in many cosmetics. Because there are many research results citing benefits to the skin in various aspects.

Water soluble type, gamma-Oryzanol 3%

Oryzanol-Active™ is gamma-Oryzanol. Directly soluble in water . Oryzanol can be extracted from rice bran oil. It has antioxidant effects. Popularly used in many cosmetics. Because there are many research results citing benefits to the skin in various aspects.

Benefits of Oryzanol on the skin in various aspects:

• Protect the skin from damage by UV light (Sun damage protection) [4] [9] [11]
• Antioxidants (Antioxidant) [2] [3] [5]
• Increase skin elasticity (Increase skin elasticity) [9]
• Controls skin oil (Oil/sebum control) [6]
• Moisturize the skin (Moisturizing and hydration) [5] [6] [9]
• Stimulate collagen production [9]
• Make the skin radiant (Lightening & brightening) [9] [11]
• Reduce hair loss (Anti-androgenetic alopecia) [12]
