Anti-Aging – Rice Ceramide

Rice Ceramide is a natural cosmetic active ingredient derived from Oryza sativa (rice) and is rich in glucosylceramide—an essential precursor to the ceramides found in the skin’s stratum corneum. Known for centuries in Japanese beauty rituals, rice has been valued not only as a nutritional staple but also as a traditional skin-beautifying material, historically used in forms such as Oshiroi powder.

Modern skincare harnesses rice-derived ceramide for its scientifically validated benefits in restoring skin barrier function, improving moisture retention, enhancing resilience, and supporting anti-aging mechanisms. Rice Ceramide increases hyaluronic acid production, promotes collagen synthesis, and helps protect the skin against environmental stressors while remaining gentle and biocompatible—ideal for sensitive, dry, or damaged skin.
