Description

Waxes And Waxy Substances, Rice Bran is a natural, plant-derived lipid material extracted from the outer bran layer of rice (Oryza sativa). This versatile substance is valued for its unique blend of fatty acids, sterols, and hydrocarbons, offering excellent emollient, thickening, and protective properties. It serves as a crucial functional ingredient for manufacturers in the cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical industries seeking natural, sustainable raw materials.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a natural emollient, thickener, and stabilizer in lipsticks, creams, lotions, and hair care products, providing texture and skin barrier protection.
• Food Industry: Used as a glazing agent, coating, or release agent for confectionery, fruits, and chewing gum, and as a component in food-grade polishing waxes.
