A botanical extract from *Oryza Sativa* bran
Derived from the botanical *Oryza Sativa* (Rice), the ingredient known as Rice Bran Extract is often referred to by common names like Rice Bran or Rice Water. Formulate Labs supplies Oryza Sativa Bran Extract (INCI: Oryza Sativa Bran Extract), not specific supplier SKUs or trade names, ensuring clear specification for your cosmetic formulations.
Dual mechanism: The extract functions in two key ways for cosmetic benefit. First, the component γ-oryzanol acts as a tyrosinase suppressor, which helps manage melanogenesis and improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation. Second, the extract's inherent ceramide and lipid fractions reinforce the stratum corneum's structure, which helps to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and maintain skin hydration.
Use levels: For Formulate Labs' 5% hydroglycerin stock, typical applications require 1.0% – 5.0%, while specialized treatment products or complexes can utilize up to 10.0% to achieve desired cosmetic effects.
Market context: *Oryza Sativa* Bran Extract operates in a competitive market, with players like Hallstar differentiating through oil-based, synergistic blends for photoaging, and Univar Solutions with solvent-free, water-based extracts focused on mildness and sustainability. BCR utilizes proprietary enzymatic biotransformation for enhanced bioavailability, targeting the premium anti-aging market with an eco-conscious approach. Formulate Labs' offering is a water-soluble extract in a hydroglycerin base.

This study demonstrates the extract's multifunctional anti-aging capabilities, showing it supports skin firmness by inhibiting collagen-degrading enzymes and stimulating new collagen synthesis. Its tyrosinase-inhibiting function also supports its use in formulations designed to promote an even, radiant complexion.
This research confirms that rice bran is a potent tyrosinase inhibitor, providing a clear mechanism for its use in cosmetic products aimed at skin brightening. Its ability to manage melanogenesis supports its application in formulas that address the appearance of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.
This paper establishes a strong safety profile for rice bran extracts in topical cosmetics, concluding they are non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and lack phototoxicity. This makes the extract suitable for a wide array of cosmetic systems, including those formulated for sensitive skin.
