Rice-derived powder exfoliator for gentle, uniform skin refinement
INCI Name: oryza sativa (rice) powder
AGENAPEEL 500 is a rice-derived powder designed for mechanical skin-refinement in peeling creams and shower peelings. Its fine, smooth particles deliver reproducible abrasion and a pleasant after-feel while enabling reliable dispersion in oil- and cream-based matrices.
Key benefits
- Uniform, fine particles that provide controlled exfoliation with reduced risk of microtrauma.
- Good sensory profile — smooth abrasion and soft after-feel in oil or cream systems.
- Compatible with oil-phase and emulsified formulations; supports stable suspension of particles.
- Plant-derived and readily biodegradable, supporting formulations aimed at naturality.
AGENAPEEL 500 functions as the mechanical exfoliant in peeling creams, delivering uniform removal of surface corneocytes and a smooth skin feel while blending into oil-rich cream phases for stable texture and sensorial performance.
Powder peelings are used to remove dead skin cells and cleanse pores. Incorporate in an oil matrix to create an exfoliating face or body oil.

Formulation insights
Why rice powder gives a smooth exfoliation profile
Mechanical exfoliation depends first on particle geometry and size distribution: AGENAPEEL 500’s rice-derived particles combine an effective surface contact area with a smooth tactile profile, enabling reliable removal of surface skin cells without harsh scratching. Formulators can tune exfoliation intensity by changing concentration and particle fraction.
AGRANA formulation examples show AGENAPEEL used in oil-based peels and scrubs to achieve a pampering, skin-refining effect. The rice origin limits sharp edges common to some mineral abrasives, lowering abrasion peak forces and improving skin comfort.
Practical notes: ensure good wetting and dispersion (oil emulsion strategies), check rheology for particle suspension, and evaluate final product for intended exfoliation intensity and regulatory labeling.
