Rice Bran Water
What it is
Oryza Sativa Bran Water is a water-based extract obtained from rice bran, popular in Korean beauty formulas as a gentle base fluid used in toners and essences in place of plain water. It contributes light hydration and a subtle skin-conditioning effect rather than acting as a targeted active.
How it works
The infusion carries small amounts of water-soluble rice bran components such as amino acids and minor sugars that support surface hydration, while also serving as the aqueous solvent carrier for the rest of the formula.
