BENEFITS - (Body)

Combat free radicals!  Clear pollutants from cells!  Promote better circulation!   Rice bran is rich in antioxidants: Tocopherol, Oryzanol and Tocotrienol. 

Tocopherol is a fat soluble substance, essential for human health.  Oryzanol, a powerful antioxidant, is only found in Rice Bran oil.  It's more effective fighting free radicals than vitamin E.  Gamma oryzanol is up to ten times higher, than vitamin e, in rice bran.  Tocotrienol is the most powerful vitamin E antioxidant, in nature! 

Fight obesity!  According to Dr. Oz, gamma oryzanol convinces cells to burn up sugar in blood that would normally be deposited on the hips and belly.  It reduces absorption of cholesterol from foods you eat.  Omega 6 fatty acids decrease the appetite and helps you feel full.  Use cold pressed versions, for better health, with fewer impurities.

BENEFITS - (Skin)

Rice bran oil spreads on and absorbs into skin, easily, with no greasy residue.  In 1987, it was discovered that factory workers handling rice hulls had beautifully soft and supple hands. In the past, Japanese women were called “Rice Bran Beauties”.  In the USA, this oil has gained strong popularity with artisans, including homemade soap makers. 

It contains high quantities of squalene, effective for very dry, aged, skin. The vitamin B complex stimulates circulation and cell growth, revealing radiant skin.  It offers slight protection from sun UV rays.  It's an effective substitute for lanolin.

MAKING HOMEMADE SOAP:  (Tips & Soap Recipe)

Rice bran is used in bar and liquid homemade soap recipes.  It offers very similar qualities as olive oil.  It offers creamy, moisturizing, smooth, silky, lather and at a much lower price than olive oil.  Rice bran oil can cost as much as three times less than olive oil.  If you're making large batches of soap, you can see why it's so popular! 

It makes a very gentle, low cleansing bar, great for babies or elderly skin.  It can give soap a waxy, somewhat, shiny finish.  Blend it with coconut oil to add hardness to your bars.
