What Is Oryzanol?
Oryzanol is a mixture of ferulic acid esters and phytosterols found in rice bran oil. It provides significant antioxidant protection and may help absorb UV radiation, supporting sun protection efforts.
Research shows oryzanol can help protect skin from photoageing and environmental damage while providing moisturising and skin-conditioning benefits.
