Fountain of youth in a serum
FOR centuries, rice has been used in the skincare routine of many Asian women, to beautify their face, body, and hair.
In South-East Asia, women have been using finely grinded rice powder that is turned into a cooling facial paste to smoothen the texture of the skin, absorb excessive sebum and as anti-inflammatory action on skin.
Rice water, particularly fermented rice water, also boasts numerous benefits for the skin. Left to ferment, rice water becomes an authentic anti-ageing elixir. It’s rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. All these skin-nourishing properties help to boost cell regeneration, keeping the skin bright and supple.
The efficacy of using rice as a skincare ingredient for the past hundreds of years has now been verified by science. Numerous researches have shown the effectiveness of using rice in skincare for anti-inflammatory, calming, anti-ageing and brightening purposes.
Gaia Biotech Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian company, has been working on an anti-ageing skincare – the Essens Oryzalac 2.0 Skin Activating Serum – for three years, perfecting its formulation in a biotechnology laboratory in the US.
According to the brand this is the first ever Probiotic BioTechnology serum in Malaysia that is super fast acting due to its high bio-availability and is less costly, compared to similar products in the market.
Oryzalac 2.0 – derived from 100% organic Oryza Sativa (organic whole rice plant) – is a Probiotic Technology in skin care that effectively penetrates the skin cell to nourish the deepest layer of the skin. As a result, this liquid that is rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals promotes the renewal of skin cells to bring out the most radiant glowing skin texture.
The non-sticky and firming serum nourishes the skin by making the nutrients bioavailable at the outer-layer and cellular level, for a healthy skin.
As a result, you will see tightening of pores, improvement of skin tone with a healthy glow, repair of skin texture, reduction of scarring, acne and inflammation, and a decrease in wrinkles. – Sandra Low
