The ricegrass, Oryzopisis miliciea – a common white rice, is grown in southern India. The grasses are planted in the early spring and harvested every three weeks throughout the summer. Freshly harvested plants are extracted in water and purified.
Based on research on this rice plant, Oryzopsis Miliacea Extract is rich in protective and antioxidant bioactive compounds. Like wheatgrass, rice in its early grass life form also has one of the highest rates of metabolism and is subject to high doses of UV. Oryzopsis Miliacea cultivated under high UV, nutrient-rich conditions, produces higher than normal levels of anti-oxidants.
Oryzopsis Miliacea Extract protects dermal cell membranes and DNA from free radicals and oxidative stress. Applied topically, it nourishes with essential elements, exposing a youthful, healthy, and fresher appearance.
