Oryza Sativa Bran Oil

Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil is primarily an emollient lipid used in leave-on products typically around 1–20%, and it is generally well-tolerated with low irritation potential in patch testing compared with many plant extracts/essential oils. While true irritation is uncommon, it can still trigger problems in a minority of highly reactive or eczema-prone patients due to individual allergy/sensitization to rice-derived components or oxidation byproducts in aged oils. Given its overall favorable safety profile but non-zero risk in compromised skin, it fits a very gentle (0.2) score rather than inert. Safety Notes: In commercial skincare, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil is often used as a minor emollient/skin-feel modifier in leave-on creams, lotions, and serums at ~0.1–1%, and commonly as a primary emollient phase component around 2–20%. At the high end, it is sold to consumers as 100% neat rice bran oil facial/body oils and is also used at ~30–80% in anhydrous balms and oil blends; rinse-off cleansers typically stay lower (often <5–10%) due to surfactant system constraints and desired after-feel.
