About this material

What is Rice Bran Oil – Refined?

Rice Bran Oil – Refined is supplied under the INCI / technical name Oryza Sativa Bran Oil and carries CAS number 68553-81-1.

It belongs to the Botanical oil group and is derived from rice bran. The material reaches you as a liquid oil. It is an established cosmetic raw material with mature supply and well-understood formulation behaviour.

Key Properties & Benefits

  • Emolliency
  • Natural antioxidants
  • Carries an authentic Ayurvedic provenance story that resonates strongly with Indian and export consumers.

Uses & Applications

Rice Bran Oil – Refined is used in creams, lotions, facial oils, balms, sun care, makeup and hair serums.

Typical applications from the catalogue record: Facial oils, massage oils, hair care.

As a formulation essential it is specified by function rather than by claim, and the level is set by the performance the formula needs rather than by a marketing target. In traditional Indian formats it appears in taila, ubtan, lepa and hair-oil preparations, and translates well into modern serum, mask and cleanser formats.

Handling note: Add to the oil phase and protect from prolonged heat and air exposure.

How to Use — Recommended Use Level

Typical use level 1–20% (up to 100% as a neat oil)
Recommended pH any
Addition phase Oil phase
Solubility Oil-soluble. Add to the oil phase; will not disperse in water without a solubiliser or emulsifier.

General rule: always begin at the lower end of the range, confirm the level against the supplier technical data sheet, and validate stability, pH, colour, odour and preservative efficacy on the finished formulation before scaling up.

Regulatory Note

Sold as a cosmetic raw material for professional formulation. A published INCI name does not by itself authorise use: the buyer is responsible for confirming permitted status, maximum concentration, restrictions by product type, labelling and claim rules in every market the finished product is sold in. In India, cosmetics fall under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940 and the Cosmetics Rules 2020 administered by CDSCO, with BIS standards (including IS 4707 Part 2) listing restricted substances. The EU applies Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and its Annexes; the United States applies the FD&C Act as amended by MoCRA; Korea, Japan and China operate their own positive lists and functional-cosmetic frameworks. Every finished product needs its own safety assessment.

How to work with it

1 Check the phase before you weigh

The specification's Add at row is the one to read first. Water-phase materials added to a hot oil phase are the most common reason a batch separates.

2 Hold the pH inside the stated range

Measure the finished product, not the premix. Outside the range the activity drops away and, for some materials, the degradation route is what causes complaints.

3 Start at the bottom of the use level

Then work up through stability and compatibility testing. Higher is not better, and the destination market's limit may sit below your formulation ceiling.
