Oryza Sativa Rice Bran Extract, also commonly referred to as rice bran extract, hydrolyzed rice bran or simply rice bran extract, is a high-value plant extract extracted from the nutrient-rich outer layer of rice. The extract is rich in ingredients and multiple bioactivities, making it a natural skin care ingredient and functional supplement.
The benefits of rice bran extract lie in its bioactive compounds, gamma-oryzanol, tocopherols and tocotrienols (variants of vitamin E), ferulic acid and phytosterols. For example, gamma-oryzanol has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin-strengthening properties, making it a top ingredient in anti-aging skin care lines. Ferulic acid helps brighten the skin and protect against UV rays, while tocotrienols help maintain cellular health and antioxidant defenses. These natural active ingredients also make rice bran extract very attractive for oral supplementation for cardiovascular health, hormone balance and oxidative stress management.
Our rice bran extracts are hydrolyzed through a controlled enzymatic process to ensure maximum yield of active ingredients, better water solubility, and increased skin and intestinal bioavailability, making them ideal for cosmetic lotions, functional beverages, and capsule supplements. In addition, our extracts are free of GMO ingredients and solvents and can be customized to meet the needs of the target application.
One of our key differentiators is our OEM/ODM capabilities. With years of formulation experience, we not only provide high-quality raw materials, but are also committed to helping our customers create finished products from concept to shelf. Whether you need rice bran-based antioxidant capsules or beauty drinks, we can provide customized solutions including regulatory support, packaging design, and small batch pilots.
Our extracts are standardized to measure the content of key active ingredients, including gamma-oryzanol (≥1.2%) and ferulic acid (≥0.6%). They are validated batch by batch using HPLC and GC-MS testing. Custom active ratios are available upon request.
Our proprietary enzymatic hydrolysis process increases water solubility by up to 65% compared to traditional extracts, making our products highly suitable for clear beverages, lotions, and sprays.
We have been producing plant extracts since 2008, supported by a professional technical team with rich experience in plant chemistry and formulation engineering to ensure faster product development cycles.
Our proprietary process design and internal quality assurance system ensure batch-to-batch variation of active ingredients, color, and pH is less than 3%.
We help brands develop turnkey solutions like antioxidant-rich rice bran oral beauty supplements. Save 20-30% of development time with our formulation templates, regulatory expertise, and custom packaging.
