Rice is used in traditional medicine as a remedy against inflammation, gastrointestinal ailments, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, and skin diseases. In fact, the use of rice for cosmetic and dermatological purposes has been a tradition for centuries. PhytoTrace™ Rice botanical extract is obtained by maceration, a cold process that preserves heat-sensitive phytochemicals and renders extracts matching, as best as possible, the pool of phytochemicals in the plant.
