Greenwood Essential Pure Rice Bran Oil (Oryza sativa) | Cold Pressed | Natural | Undiluted | For Diluting Essential Oils | For Skin & Massage | Men & Women | 100ml

i have to say that i love their oil. they smell very good and it work great on skin and hair. i totally believe they are genuine. the only downside is their plastic dropper, i thought it would be better than glass dropper since you dont have to open it every and there is no chance to spill oil everywhere but they doesnt really well. with the plastic dropper it take 30 sec for the first drop to fall than there is 1 drop every 5 sec. it take a long time to get the quantity you want. but thats on me next purchase will be a glass dropper.

Rice bran oil has numerous skin benefits such as being soothing and hydrating, though I was more interested in the hair benefits. It can help repair damaged hair, and encourage healthy hair growth. My hair is damaged and broken from trichotillomania so this oil has been helpful, in use with a conjunction of other products, to get my hair healthier and smoother again. I massage it into my scalp the night before I wash my hair (as obviously it'll make your hair look greasy) and it's helped my hair feel softer and hopefully helping hair growth too. Some of it got onto my face by accident and it was very tickly and horrible so I think I'll avoid that again!

Botanical Name: Oryza sativa. Common name: Rice or Rice Bran Oil. Rice Bran Oil has been used for more than 2,000 years throughout Asia. Today, it continues to be used for soap and skin cream manufacturing, especially in Japan. Historically, Japanese Geishas would add the water that remained after washing rice to their baths after discovering its ability to cleanse, soften, moisturize, soothe, nourish, and smooth the skin, which slowed the look of aging and brightened the complexion.Rice Bran Carrier Oil is derived from the Bran of the Rice grains by both Expeller Pressing and Solvent Extraction. Cold pressed is best. Solvent extraction uses Hexane which is nasty, avoid it if possible.Chemical Analysis: The main chemical constituents of Rice Bran Carrier Oil are: Oleic Accid (Omega 9) 35 - 50 % , Linoleic Acid ( Omega 6) 29 – 45 % , Alpha Linolenic Acid (Omega 3 ) 3 % , Palmitic Acid 12 – 18 % , Stearic Acid 0.5 - 4 % , Arachidic Acid 1.2 % , Eicosenoic Acid 1 % Myristic acid 0.6%.
