An oil derived from a humble, simple, everyday by-product - rice bran - yet one that conceals extraordinary potential to nourish, protect and regenerate facial skin without weighing it down.
Rice bran oil (or Oryza sativa bran oil) is rich in γ-oryzanol, tocotrienols, unsaturated fatty acids and ferulic acid. These components are ideal for strengthening the skin barrier, fighting oxidation and improving elasticity in dry or mature skin. It supports natural overnight regenerative processes and leaves skin with a silky, radiant texture upon waking.
Rooted in ancient Eastern traditions and validated by modern science, this oil embodies the LeLang philosophy: powerful nature combined with research for authentic, long-lasting skin wellness.

Ancient origins and modern science: from rice to your beauty routine
Rice Bran Oil comes from the thin outer layer of the Oryza sativa grain. This part of the plant concentrates the bioactive defenses needed to protect it from moisture and sunlight, making it a valuable ingredient for human skin as well. Today, the oil is cold-pressed from fresh bran, a method that preserves the purity of the molecules and avoids the use of chemical solvents.
In cosmetics, it is a cornerstone of dry-touch textures: it acts as a non-greasy lipid support. Its balanced chemical composition includes:
- Gamma-oryzanol: a phytosterol with significant antioxidant power, greater than that of standard tocopherol.
- Ferulic Acid: a powerful natural photoprotectant.
- Squalene and Vitamin E: for a deeply emollient and hydrating action.
The ingredient’s complete profile and the list of LeLang formulas containing it can be found in the dedicated ingredient profile.
Rice bran oil for soft, protected skin
When the lipid barrier becomes fragile, skin cannot retain moisture. Rice bran oil acts by mimicking the natural lipids in the stratum corneum, stimulating ceramide synthesis. Regular applications help reduce TEWL (transepidermal water loss), providing immediate comfort.
In addition, rice bran oil is one of the botanical sources of choice for ferulic acid. This plant phenol acts as an invisible shield against environmental damage, absorbing UV radiation and neutralizing free radicals. It also helps even out the complexion by limiting melanin overproduction and reducing dark spots, including post-acne marks.
Rested-looking eyes: Thanks to gamma-oryzanol, this oil activates local microcirculation. It promotes fluid drainage, improving the appearance of under-eye bags and reducing bluish dark circles without weighing down the eye area.
5 Complex Night: the perfect alchemy for your rest
All these extraordinary properties find their fullest expression in LeLang Skin Care’s 5 Complex Night from the Pro Age Advance line. At night, skin enters its recovery phase, and this oil acts as a concentrated source of wellness.
