rice (oryza sativa l.) is one of the most important staple crops, feeding almost half of the world population. it is cultivated worldwide with a concentration in asia. rice domestication has greatly influenced the history and civilization of humans.

oryza sativa l. and oryza glaberrima, the domestic rice varieties, are diploid species (2n = 24), with 22 wild relative species, and together, comprise four species complexes: the cultivated rice complex and six primary gene pool relatives; the officinalis complex of nine species with five diploid and four tetraploid: the meyeriana complex with two diploid species; the ridleyi complex with two tetraploid species; and two other species of uncertain classification. oryza sativa is a major and important crop of asia, especially southern, eastern, and south-east asia, and also important in southern europe, like france, and the americas, while oryza glaberrima is distributed as a semi-upland (non-irrigated largely, but, irrigated partially, as well) land type found in high rainfall areas.

rice bran oil is rich in protein and vitamin-rich rice bran oil is obtained from the fat and protein extracted from the dehulling of the natural brown rice. this oil is very light and only slightly greasy. as an ingredient in cosmetic products, it gives them a pleasant, moisturizing character. due to the content of uva and uvb-absorbing materials, antioxidant-acting natural oryzanol rice bran oil is ideal for use in sunscreens and day creams. in addition, it provides the best care for sensitive, irritated and damaged skin. it absorbs easily and soothes the skin.
