Rice bran oil contains a compound called gamma-oryzanol, a component that can impede the progress of melanin pigmentation by restoring the erythema activity of the tyrosinase enzyme as it intercepts the UV rays at the skin’s surface, hindering UV ray transmission. As such, rice bran oil is used in many types of skin and hair sunscreen products and is incorporated into shampoos, conditioners ad special hair treatments where it adds sheen while moisturizing and conditioning the hair without weighing it down. It is even used in lipsticks providing lip conditioning and strong mold stability, and in nail polishes to provide smooth spreadability.

I don't know which to rave about more: the unbeatable price or the high quality product itself! This is my first time using Rice Bran Oil and have found NDA's snippet of information regarding each product extremely helpful in guiding my way through which oils to use in my bath and beauty products. Being an extremely conscious individual (perhaps even obsessive) of the harmful effects the sun has on the skin, I try to find ingredients to put in my skin care that will help fight and prevent UVA and UVB damage. Rice Bran Oil is an indispensable weapon in the daily battle against the sun.

This is my new favorite all purpose oil. It blends well with my EO's. I use it on my face (sparingly) and it soaks right in and makes my skin super soft. I also use it on my hair and it imparts a beautiful shine. The price is so right, I can't think of a reason not to love it!

Love the Rice Bran Oil offered here at New Directions because it is cold-pressed not solvent extracted. The quality and price are unmatched. If you haven't tried Rice Bran oil it is well worth giving it a whirl - you won't be disappointed.

Rice bran is a wonderful oil...i subsitute some of the olive from my soap recipe and replace with rice bran oil. I find it helps to cut the sliminess of high olive oil soap. I also use rice bran in a body moisturizer and it seems to absorb well. I am very pleased with this oil.
