The skin is a complex organ with vital protective functions and a diverse range of layers, including the stratum corneum, epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues. Its primary role involves maintaining homeostasis and protecting internal systems from environmental stressors. Skin pH and microbiome play crucial roles in its health, influencing conditions like dermatitis and acne. Natural substances such as rice water (Oryza sativa) and mica (muscovite) have been traditionally used for skin care, but their scientific evaluation remains limited. Rice Water (Oryza sativa): Rice water, a by-product of rice cultivation, has been used historically across Asia for its skin benefits. It contains starch, proteins, vitamins, and bioactive compounds such as γ-oryzanol and flavonoids. Methods for preparing rice water include boiling, soaking, and fermentation. Scientific studies have demonstrated rice water’s potential in antioxidant activity, UV protection, anti-inflammatory effects, and skin barrier enhancement. It shows promise in treating acne, aging, and pigmentation issues due to its rich nutritional profile and ability to soothe and protect the skin. Muscovite (Mica): Mica, a mineral used since ancient times, is integral to cosmetic formulations. It exists in natural and synthetic forms, with synthetic mica offering advantages in purity and consistency. Mica’s primary use in cosmetics includes providing a shimmering effect and enhancing the texture and appearance of products. Its properties include non-irritation, anti-inflammatory effects, and UV protection when combined with other minerals like titanium dioxide. Mica’s optical effects, including interference colours and chameleon shifts, are valuable in creating diverse cosmetic finishes.
