Artikel mengenai rice bran powder:
Rice bran is a powerhouse. The layer between the inner white rice grain and the outer hull, rice bran accounts for a whopping 60% of the nutrients found in each rice kernel. A super food, rice bran packs in over 100 anti-oxidants and nutrients which help achieve smooth, radiant and youthful looking skin. Used for many centuries, rice bran powder is said to prevent wrinkles, heal blemishes, absorb dirt and oil from pores, and balance the natural oils in the skin. No wonder Nuka Bijin, meaning rice bran beauty, is one of the highest compliments a Japanese woman can be paid.
Found in our Brand New Day Microderma Scrub and Masque, rice bran powder contains over 100 anti-oxidants. Antioxidants deactivate and neutralize free radicals that can cause premature aging. Always a good thing. One of the most potent of these antioxidants is a newly discovered complex of vitamin-E (found only in rice bran, barley and palm oil). This complex is 40-60 times more potent than regular vitamin E. Topically applied vitamin E helps to reduce inflammation, hydrate, rejuvenate, soften, and soothe the skin while battling the effects of aging, minimizing free radicals and reducing the incidence of scarring. As an added bonus, rice bran powder also contains lipoic acid, known as the “universal antioxidant” which helps to protect the skin’s cellular structure by deactivating the damage caused by free radicals as well as boosting the activity of all other antioxidants. Amazing.
And then there is the full amino acid profile found in rice bran powder. Amino acids, the building blocks of life, are essential for healthy, vibrant, and supple skin. And did we mention rice bran powder is also a rich source of fiber? Fiber helps to pull surface dirt from the pores into the structure of the powder, leaving skin gently cleansed. And last but not least, rice bran powder contains the moisturizing essential fatty acids, Omega 3 and Omega 6. These essential fatty acids help to promote cell renewal and regeneration while nourishing and conditioning the skin.
