Oryza Sativa Powder and fungal acne
No known trigger
Why it's not a known trigger
Rice grain powder (flour), not rice bran oil: a starchy polysaccharide with only trace bound lipid, so no fatty meal for Malassezia yeast.
The powder form, which settles the ambiguity of the bare 'Oryza Sativa' row — that row covers the oil.
