Amino acids from rice, added to condition skin and hair.
What it does
It’s the mix of amino acids you get by fully breaking down rice protein. In skin care it’s a conditioning helper, not a headline active.
The evidence, graded
expert consensusUS safety reviewers (2014) assessed 21 amino acid mixtures, which products use to condition skin and hair. They judged all 21 safe as used, yeast amino acids and rice amino acids among them. Leftover protein fragments could cause allergy in sensitive people, so they said makers should make sure none remain. In 2014 no product reported using yeast amino acids.Burnett 2014 · International Journal of Toxicology ↗
