Oryzanol
Ingredient Info
Oryzanol is a natural compound extracted from rice bran that contains ferulic acid and plant-derived sterols. In skincare, it works as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent to help protect skin from environmental damage and support the skin barrier.
Benefits
- Antioxidant protection against free radicals and oxidative stress
- Anti-inflammatory properties that may help calm irritated skin
- May provide UV protection and photoprotective effects
- Supports skin barrier function
Science: Research indicates oryzanol exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential photoprotective effects in both laboratory and animal models. However, most human clinical studies focus on oral supplementation rather than topical application, and researchers note that further studies are needed to establish optimal doses and formulation strategies for skincare use.
