Rice Bran Oil – The ultimate sustainable oil – from rice husks!
We’re using amazing Rice Bran Oil
At Moon Haven we are always looking for the next best thing to come along. We have found a spectacular ingredient that keeps on amazing us with what it does!
Rice Bran Oil sounds like it wouldn’t pack much of a punch, after all, rice is the commonest food grain on the earth. What I didn’t realise is all the goodies that are thrown away when we turn brown rice into white. Rice Bran Oil comes from the husks and left overs … and we get one of the most useful skin caring oils on the planet!
With elements like:
· Huge amounts of the vitamin B complexes which is fantastic for helping with skin conditions
· The richest natural source of liquid Vitamin E- a strong antioxidant helping to protect skin from sun damage and air pollutants.
· Phytic Acid – helps to balance the pigmentation of skin
· Ferulic Acid- provides microfoliation which gently helps to renew skin
· Proanthrocyanidins – supports collagen and elastin in skin, improving suppleness
you can see why i am excited!
- When you add in that Rice Bran is a sustainable resource- one that is derived from the waste product of the rice industry we felt compleed to incorporate it into our products.
