ABSTRACT
The skin healing benefits of rice have been known for centuries. Rice
is the cuticle existing between the rice and the husk of the paddy and
consists of embryo and endosperm of the seeds of Oryza sativa, family
Graminae. Rice water is a food processing waste that can potentially

vitrobiological antioxidant activity and elastase inhibitory effect. The
formulation containing 96% rice water was biocompatible with the human skin and presented
suitable cosmetic properties. Rice water should be thus considered as an anti-aging ingredient
to be used as raw material for skincare applications. They are useful for the hair shine,
smooth, Lustre, hairStrength, also use as chemical free hair cleanser and maintain the pH of
the scalp. Another important reason to use rice water for hair is the fact that it helps hair
growth, and you can see the increase in a short span itself. As the rice water helps protect the
hair from damage, the hair remains healthy. The protein boost that the rice water gives to the
hair helps it grow fast.

KEYWORDS: Rice water, anti-aging, hair growth, antioxidant activity.

INTRODUCTION
Rice water is the suspension of starch obtained by draining boiled rice or by boiling rice until
it completely dissolves into the water. It may be used as a weak gruel for invalids.[1] It is

Prachi et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

especially effective in the treatment of diarrhoea such as that arising in cholera or

gastroenteritis.[2][3]

Rice bran (RB) phytochemicals (flavonoids, phenolic, tannins, sterols, tocols, γ-oryzanols,
and amino acids) are known for several pharmacological properties such as antioxidant,[4]
anti-colitis,[5] anticancer, antitumor, ant mutagenic,[6] antidiabetic,[7] ocular impairment,[8]
anti-aging,[9] and anti-inflammatory.[10]

Rice water is a milky liquid which is left after washing rice. It has been used traditionally in
the treatment of skin and hair. Rice water has vitamin B, C, E, and minerals, which help in
tightening skin and shrinkage of open pores on face. It also promotes skin cell growth,
stimulates blood flow, and slows down the aging process.

The Chinese village of Huangluo, home to native Red Yao women, is in the Guinness Book
of Records as the ‘world’s longest hair village’. The women here boast long, lustrous and
healthy hair that is consistently maintained. The villagers believe that it is a symbol of luck,
longevity and prosperity. So is the secret to their fabulously maintained hair an ancient but
extremely simple Chinese remedy is rice water. This magic potion, used as a natural shampoo
and rinse for centuries now, clearly works wonders. In fact, women usually don’t start
graying until they’re almost eighty years old, But China doesn’t hold monopoly over rice
water. Around 1,200 years ago, women in Japan especially those at the Imperial Court used
rice water to rinse their hair as well as wash their face. This solution was highly acclaimed
and termed ‘Yu-Su-Ru’. Geishas especially used it, to keep their skin smooth, even-toned and
supple. Even Korea (which has now seen a revival in traditional beauty techniques) and other
South East Asian countries like Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia have a history of using
rice water as a key beauty supplement.

Rice water has a multitude of components with nutritional value for the skin and hair. Around
16 percent of these are proteins, the building blocks essential to cell health. Triglycerides and
lipids each make up 10 percent of the rice water composition, while starch (an extract still
used in Japanese cosmetics), is present at 9 percent.

Rice water can be used twice a day everyday as a skin toner, once a day in a Skin mask or as
a facial rinse. It can also be used as a shampoo as often as you shampoo your hair, or as a
final rinse. Carbohydrates, inositol, phytic acid and inorganic substances are other

Prachi et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

components in rice water. This is what you get when you boil an average handful of white
rice in two cups of hot water, and strain out the residue liquid.[11]

History of rice water for hair

Rice has 75-80% starch content in its grain form. When it gets soaked in the water, the starch
gets absorbed into the water. Rice water, as it is called, contains many minerals and vitamins.
These include amino acids, vitamin B, vitamin E, antioxidants and many different minerals.

It is not just a beauty trick shared by the traditional word-of-mouth; it has researchers looking
into it. In 2010, a study was carried out and published in the Journal of Cosmetic Chemists
about using rice water for hair, and its many benefits. In the Heian Period of Japanese history
- 794 to 1185 CE, the court ladies had beautiful long hair that was floor-length. They were
said to use rice water for hair daily. In China, the Huangpu village’s Red Yao tribe women
use rice water for hair. The village is called ‘Land of Rapunzel’s’ because of the long hair
that the tribe’s women have. It is also certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as
the ‘world’s longest hair village’. The women have an average of six feet long hair. Another
reason for the Yao women’s use of rice water for hair is the fact that their hair doesn’t lose
the colour till the ripe age of 80 or more. With such glowing recommendations, don’t you
think rice water for hair is super beneficial.

The 2010 study mentioned that using rice water for hair decreases surface friction and
increases the hair elasticity. A Japanese research facility is looking at creating an imaging
technique that will visualise the strengthening effect of inositol that can be found in rice
water on hair.[12]

Benefits of rice water for hair[13]

1. Rice water for hair Strength
If you’re looking for strong hair, then make sure to use rice water for hair. The amino acids in
rice strengthen the hair roots. It also has inositol, which is a carbohydrate that helps to
strengthen the hair. The rice water makes it easy to detangle hair which leads to less hair
breakage.

2. Rice water for hair Shine, smooth and lustre

Using rice water for hair is an easy way to ensure the hair look shiny and full of lustre. As the
rice water adds a layer of protection especially against the pollution in the air, heat-inducing

www.wjpps.com Vol 9, Issue 4, 2020. 685

Prachi et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

electronic hair appliances, chemicals in hair care products, etc. These make the hair loose its
shine, and the rice water ensures that the hair remains smooth and shiny. Rice water is a
natural conditioner that gives the hair a good bounce.

3. Rice water for Hair growth

Another important reason to use rice water for hair is the fact that it helps hair growth, and
you can see the increase in a short span itself. As the rice water helps protect the hair from
damage, the hair remains healthy. The protein boost that the rice water gives to the hair helps
it grow fast.

4. Rice water for to eliminate dandruff and flakes

Fermented rice water especially that made from red rice inhibits the growth of Malassezia, a
fungus that cause dandruff. So using rice water for hair will take care of the dandruff
problem. It also gives a moisturising boost to the scalp and the hair, ensuring that the dry skin
which in turn causes flakes on skin is taken care of. Using rice water for hair weekly will
keep the dandruff and the flakes at bay.

5. It is a chemical free hair cleanser

using it as a shampoo to wash out your hair may not be as convenient as a store bought
shampoo, but it comes without chemicals and preservatives, and you don’t even need to
follow it up with a conditioner.

6. It balances scalp’s pH levels

Rice water keeps your hair’s natural oils intact and its pH levels are similar to that of the
scalp! For added benefits, a few drops of your preferred essential oils can be added to rice
water, and this mix can replace your regular shampoo.

7. To protect for frizzy hair

In 2010, a study was published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, where
researchers clearly stated that using rice water as a hair treatment offered several benefits
including improved elasticity, texture and lesser friction and frizz. This is largely due to the
presence of inositol, a carbohydrate.

Benefits of rice water for skin[13]

1. It soothes skin conditions in sensitive skins, including acne and pimples
In 2002, a study from the Department of Toxicology at the Vrije Universityit Brussel in
Belgium determined that patients with skin conditions like inflammation, rashes and
dermatitis benefitted greatly from taking a bath in rice water twice a day. So people with
sensitive skins, rejoice. It is the most natural astringent, its high starch content, and is good
for people suffering from chronic acne and pimples as well.

2. It keeps your skin safe from the sun

Rice water is a natural sunscreen, protecting from the harmful effects of UV rays. In addition,
rice water can be used to treat sunburns. Just apply it on sun-damaged skin, and it will help
your skin recover faster. It also helps tighten open pores.

3. It is an anti-ageing solution
Skin texture is greatly improved, and elasticity is restored by using rice water, especially in
the case of dry and dehydrated skin. Rice water is rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E,
flavanoids and phenolic compounds. In addition, it contains ferulic acid and allantoin, all of
which are necessary for skin function.

4. It improves the complexion

One of the key functions of rice water is brighter skin and an even skin tone. If you dip a
cotton ball in fermented rice water and massage it into your face, it really works wonders.
You’ll find sunspots, pigmentation, hyperpigmentation and freckles lightening.

5. It protects against skin cancer

Not only does it promote cell growth and regeneration, keeping your skin supple and smooth,
it also has antioxidants, which keep various skin cancers at bay and also act as an anti-ageing
agent.

6. It benefits the skin on your body, not just your face

It is use as a bath soak, just add two cups of rice water into regular water that’s in your bath
rub, and finish up with a few drops of lavender essential oil. Soak for about half an hour to
reap the skin benefits of rice water all over the body.

Benefits of rise water for humen body and health[14]

1. It is good for stomach-related ailments
Including rice water in diet is beneficial in more ways than one. It can cure a number of ills
such as stomach infections, gastric problems and nausea. It improves gut health drastically,
which in turn reflects on the outside, giving smooth and radiant skin.

2. Rice water is good for babies

Rice water is also used extensively across Asian cultures for babies are weaning off nursing,
to settle their stomachs.

3. It keeps the body healthy

Drinking up rice water is a natural cure for eczema, fever and other bacterial infections. It is
full of energy, with a lowcal but highcarb way of providing body with the boost it needs to
get through the day effectively.

4. It is part of a traditional diet

In south India, Kanji, a fermented gruel made from rice water is part of the daily staple diet,
especially among farmers and agriculturists. In the hot tropical summers, it prevents
dehydration, replenishing lost nutrients and reducing chances of ailments. To prepare Kanji,
cook a cup of rice in four cups water. Once the rice is semi cooked, strain out the water, add
some salt if required, and drink up. It will be benificial for skin. Kanji can also be made from
brown and red rice variants, depending on your taste and preferences.

Used in store-bought cosmetics

Japanese and South Korean cosmetic giants have been using rice water and pitera in their
cosmetics, and marketing them as combining the best of science and nature. Several high-end
brands now feature this key ingredient, technologically modified to fit into a bottle of serum
or face wash. While we recommend you try the undiluted, freshly made version every day,
there is no denying that store-bought versions come with benefits too. Firstly, the shelf life is
longer, and you don’t need to keep making a fresh batch every couple of days which can be a
pain if you’re hard pressed for time. Secondly, it comes with a multitude of other ingredients,
which offer a holistic, all-round benefit in one product. Thirdly, if you go to a reputed
cosmetic company, you’re assured of the quality of rice water used, and won’t really need to
worry about what brand of rice to pick up from the supermarket! Just remember to do your
homework before you pick up any product, make sure it is suited to your skin type and also
provides the benefits that you would like for your skin.

Environmental implications
When you use rice water, you are using a by-product of boiling rice and this is a single
ingredient trick, which means you’re not really digging into anything else. What’s more, you
don’t have to deal with the implications of using disposable plastic waste that just reaches
landfills, and you can spare the earth of that many more toxins and toxic waste. If you
actually cook for a cartload of people, don’t even throw away the water used to rinse the rice
you can even just store it in a bucket and use it to bathe your body. Also, rice water costs
virtually nothing Instead of opting for expensive store bought serums and toners, just use this
really affordable.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Rice obtained from local area of Arjuni Sadak, Gondia, Maharashtra. In Present research
article deals with the formulation of herbal face pack of rice for glowing skin by using
natural ingredient i.e., gram flour, honey, curd, mashed banana, castor oil, coco butter, etc.
and for the formulation of rice water the rice and distilled water are used.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Rice water is not a miracle cure, but a slow, healing process. While you’ll see visible benefits
using it for a few days or even weeks, to reap its real benefits means making a lifestyle
change.It’ll need to be a part of your daily routine just as much as eating breakfast or
brushing your teeth. Also, try to get certified organic white rice, since non-organic versions

www.wjpps.com Vol 9, Issue 4, 2020. 689

Prachi et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

may have extensive traces of dirt, pollutants, bacteria and pesticides that you are privy to,
resulting in skin problems like eczema and so on. Since the product is homemade, it doesn’t
contain preservatives. So you’ll need to keep an eye out for when it’s going bad and whip up
a fresh batch every couple of days.

Pitera – the magic ingredient - is fermented rice water

To make the solution more potent, allow regular rice water to sit for a day or two in a bottle
with a lid. This becomes fermented rice water it may smell funny, but will definitely give you
added benefits. Fermented rice water is the elixir of youth. It contains pitera, a natural
byproduct that boosts cell regeneration. It is rich in minerals, vitamins and amino acids, all of
which are essential to anti-ageing. This ingredient has been rediscovered by scientists
recently, and is all the rage in keeping skin youthful. To give you an example, sake, a
Japanese fermented rice liquor is based on pretty much the same principles as rice water. It
was found that workers at a sake factory had exceptionally youthful hands compared to the
rest of their skin! Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the pitera found in
fermented rice water and its offshoots, was responsible for this miraculous occurrence.

Rice water for the formulation of hair products[16]

By using either the soaked, boiled or fermented rice water for hair, you can repair and
strengthen damaged hair shaft while providing shine, elasticity and smoothness to the hair.
There are a couple of ways to use rice water for hair as a rinse. Here are some of the different
ways.
1. As a last rinse
After shampoo and conditioning hair, use the rice water for hair as the last rinse. Take one
cup of fermented rice water, one cup of regular water and add five drops of lavender or
rosemary oilto this. Pour it over your hair and massage it into the scalp and each strand of
hair till the tips. Keep on for five minutes before rinsing it off.

2. As a pre-conditioner
After shampooing the hair, use the rice water for hair. Pour it over hair and massage it into
your scalp and hair. It can use fermented rice water with a few drops of essential oil that have
beneficial properties for hair. Keep this in your hair for five to seven minutes before the
washing off, and then follow it up with a deep conditioner. It could also apply the conditioner
before rinsing the rice water for hair off.

Prachi et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

3. As a hair mask
There are two ways you can use rice water for hair mask. One is using plain rice water;
another is by making a paste to apply as a hair mask. The first way is where you need to first
cleanse your hair with a mild shampoo. Then, apply the rice water all over your hair and
scalp, and massage it in thoroughly. Cover your hair with a shower cap and keep it on for 15
minutes. Then wash it off using plain water.

In the second method, you need to use fermented rice water and add mustard powder to make
a paste. Add some olive oil to the paste and mix well. Apply this paste to your scalp. Keep it
for 15 to 20 minutes before washing it off.

4. As a shampoo
You can make a home-made shampoo using rice water. Take one cup of rice water and add
one teaspoon of shikakai powder to it. Add one-fourth cup of aloe vera juice to this. Add one
to two tablespoons of castile soap or baby shampoo to the mix. Mix it all well, and store it in
a secure bottle. This lasts for a week in the refrigerator. To use it, use it like the way you
would use a regular shampoo.

5. As a co-conditioner
Another way to use rice water for hair is to add it to the hair conditioner. Take a tablespoon
of conditioner and a tablespoon of rice water and use this as a conditioner

Formulation of face pack for skin[17]

1. Mix 2 tbsp rice water with a tbsp of ground gramflour and a teaspoon of honey. Mix well
and apply all over face and neck. Rinse with lukewarm water after 20 minutes and pat
dry. This pack helps get rid of suntans and facial impurities caused by pollutants.

2. For a probiotic face mask, take half a cup of curd and mix 2 tsp rice water into it. Let it sit
for ten minutes. Then apply all over face and neck, and leave on for 10 minutes. Wipe
with a wet washcloth and pat dry. This pack has anti-ageing and skin firming benefits.

3. Mix half a cup of rice water with half a mashed banana in a blender. Add a few drops of
castor oil and apply all over face, including a very thin, careful layer under the eyes. Dip
some cotton wool in a teaspoon of rice water and slowly remove the pack. Once every
inch of the paste has come off, splash water on your face and pat dry. For tired and dull
looking skin, this pack is ideal.

4. This antioxidant scrub will have your skin glowing in no time. Add 2 teaspoons of cocoa
powder to a tbsp of rice water and mix well. Scrub this into the skin in slow upward
strokes. Then rise well and pat dry with a towel.

Formulation of rice water for hair growth[18]

There are many ways one can make rice water. There are different methods soaking, boiling
and fermenting.

1. Making rice water for hair by soaking

For this, you need to take half a cup of uncooked rice. You can use any type of rice for this.
Wash the rice in flowing water to remove any impurities it might have. Then keep this
washed rice in a big bowl and add two to three cups of clean water to the bowl. Cover the
bowl and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Knead the rice after the time; the water will become
cloudy. This is a sign that the minerals and vitamins in the rice have seeped into the water.
Take another bowl and pour the water into it, straining out the rice.

2. Making rice water for hair by boiling

Take a bowl of rice for this in a utensil, and add the amount of water the rice will require for
it to cook. Then add a cup or more extra water to this. After the rice is cooked, strain out any
excess water into a separate bowl.

3. Making rice water for hair by fermentation

Take the rice as you would as mentioned in the soaking method. Once you have strained out
the rice, store the water that remains in a closed glass jar in the open. Once there is a sour
smell coming from the bottle, transfer this to the refrigerator. This is very potent rice water.

CONCLUSION
In this present study I will discussed about the benefits of rice for skin and hair. We produced
rice water by different methods. The rice water obtained after boiling the rice presented in
vitro biological antioxidant activity comparable to that of ascorbic acid and remarkable
elastase inhibition activity. Its incorporation into a Hair cosmetics formulations like hair
mask, hair shampoo and conditioner has led to the development of a semisolid dosage form
suitable for hair application and with adequate cosmetic properties. For the use of rice flour to
prepare or formulate the face packs to brightening of skin and polishing of skin. It would be
very important to identify the component or the class of compounds responsible for the
antioxidant activity. Another importance of rice water would be how such antioxidant
activitycould be used to supplement skin antioxidant capacity. Rice water should be thus
considered as an anti-aging ingredient to be used in skincare products.
