TLDR Rice water may help reduce skin aging.
The study explored the potential of rice water as an anti-aging ingredient in skincare products. Researchers developed a topical gel containing 96% rice water and evaluated its properties. The rice water demonstrated in vitro antioxidant activity and elastase inhibitory effects. The gel was tested on 12 volunteers over 28 days, showing biocompatibility with human skin and suitable cosmetic properties. The findings suggested that rice water could be a valuable raw material for skincare applications due to its anti-aging properties.
