Rice Bran Oil is the liquid oil pressed from the germ and inner husk of rice. It is comprised primarily of oleic and linoleic fatty acids.

I found everything from -10°C to 28°C (14–82°F), so I would check with your supplier.

Oil

Rice bran oil is a beautiful and inexpensive emollient for use in skin and hair care products. It has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Rice bran oil can also be a good alternative to olive oil, especially if the price of olive oil is higher than usual.

I’ve only ever worked with refined, and I like it.

Lovely emollient oil with great skin feel.

I can’t think of anything in particular.

Olive oil is an easy and readily available alternative.

Include it in the oil phase of your formulations. It can be hot or cold processed as needed.

Stored somewhere cool, dark, and dry, rice bran oil should last up to two years.

Depending on your source and the batch your rice bran oil may not be “winterized”, and can become cloudy in cold temperatures. If this happens, simply place it in a warm water bath.

100mL (3.3fl oz) unless you’re soaping with it, in which case I’d recommend 1L (33.8fl oz)

 Buy it from an online DIY ingredient supplier or Amazon.
