Why is rice a must in cosmetics?
Rice is not only a staple food in Asia, it is also a valuable source of nutrients for the skin:
- Linoleic acid and squalene: antioxidants that protect the skin from external attack and promote the production of collagen.
- Vitamin E: to moisturize the skin and give it a natural radiance.
- Gamma-oryzanol: protects against free radicals and slows down skin ageing.
With regular use, the skin becomes firmer, smoother and visibly revitalized.
