Oryzanol (gamma-Oryzanol) Oryzanol Can be extracted from Rice bran oil has the power. Neutralize free radicals Used in many cosmetics. As there are many research studies referring to a wide variety of skin benefits.

Oryzanol benefits for various skin areas:

• Prevents skin from damaging UV light (Sun damage protection). [4] [9] [11]
• Antioxidant (Antioxidant) [2] [3] [5]
• Increase skin elasticity [9]
• Oil control (Oil / sebum control) [6]
• Moisturizing the skin (Moisturizing and hydration) [5] [6] [9]
• Stimulate collagen production (Stimulate collagen production). [9]
• Makes skin radiant (Lightening & brightening). [9] [11]
• Reduce hair loss. (Anti-androgenetic alopecia) [12]
