Product description

Organic rice bran CO₂ extract is a distinctive speciality oil for cosmetic formulations. The dark green to brownish oil has a characteristic natural odour and contains gamma-oryzanol, a natural complex of ferulic acid esters and phytosterols. Because of its composition, the extract is typically used as a partial component of formulations.

The extract is obtained from the germ and silverskin that arise during rice processing. CO₂ extraction turns these side streams into a concentrated plant extract for a range of formulation concepts.

From a formulation perspective, rice bran extract is characterised by a balanced ratio of oleic and linoleic acid and a comparatively high proportion of palmitic acid. This fatty acid profile is complemented by gamma-oryzanol and other natural accompanying substances. The extract can be incorporated as a partial component into oil blends and the oil phase of emulsions.

The product is suitable for facial and body care, serums, creams and emulsions and hair care formulations.

Manufacturing process

CO₂ extraction (oils)

Natural

Extraction with supercritical CO₂ at moderate temperatures and in the absence of oxygen – particularly gentle on heat-sensitive constituents.

CO₂-extracted oils are obtained using supercritical carbon dioxide. Under pressure, the carbon dioxide reaches a supercritical state and can therefore be used as an extraction solvent for the oil constituents.

This physical process allows comparatively moderate temperatures to be used. As a result, the oils are subjected to less thermal stress during extraction than with some other manufacturing processes. The CO₂ is then removed again; with proper process control, no residues of the extraction solvent remain in the oil.
