Oryza Sativa Bran Cera
Oryza Sativa Bran Cera, also known as rice bran wax, is a natural wax derived from rice bran oil. In cosmetics, it functions as an emollient, providing a smooth and soft feel to the skin. It also acts as a thickener and film-forming agent, helping to stabilize formulations and reduce transepidermal water loss.
