Sun Potion Tocos is rice bran solubles from non-GMO rice grown in the USA — a creamy, naturally Vitamin E–rich powder treasured as a beauty and skin food, and sold direct from sunpotion.com.
If you've ever stirred a soft, creamy spoonful into your morning latte and wondered what makes it a “skin food,” chances are it was Tocos. Made from rice bran solubles and naturally rich in Vitamin E, Tocos is a mild, versatile superfood traditionally enjoyed for skin, beauty, and everyday radiance. Here's what it is, where it comes from, how to use it, and what separates a quality rice bran solubles from the rest.
What is Tocos?
“Tocos” is short for tocotrienols and tocopherols — the two families of compounds that make up Vitamin E. The powder itself is made from rice bran solubles: the soluble, nutrient-dense portion of rice bran, gently concentrated into a soft, cream-colored superfood.
Rice bran is the nourishing outer layer of the rice grain, long prized in traditional food cultures. Rice bran solubles take the most delicate, water-soluble fraction of that bran and concentrate it — giving Tocos its signature creamy texture and naturally sweet, mild flavor. Sun Potion Tocos is a pure rice bran solubles powder from non-GMO rice grown in the USA: naturally rich in Vitamin E, with nothing added.
Rice bran solubles & Vitamin E
What makes Tocos special is its natural Vitamin E content. Tocos (rice bran solubles) is a natural source of Vitamin E in the form of tocotrienols and tocopherols — antioxidants that occur naturally in the rice bran. Because the Vitamin E in Tocos comes from a whole-food source rather than a synthetic isolate, many people love folding it into a daily routine as a gentle, food-based way to enjoy this nutrient.
A quick note on the name: Tocos is simply a nod to those tocotrienols and tocopherols — the compounds that give rice bran solubles their nourishing reputation.
Why Tocos is called the “Ultimate Skin Food”
Tocos has long been Sun Potion's “Ultimate Skin Food,” and the nickname captures how it's traditionally enjoyed. As a natural source of Vitamin E, Tocos is traditionally associated with supporting healthy skin and connective tissue, and it's valued for encouraging balance and overall well-being.
It also sits naturally within a beauty-from-within ritual. Where tonic herbs like Pearl and He Shou Wu are traditionally valued for radiance and beauty, Tocos brings a creamy, everyday, nutrient-rich foundation — a simple daily pleasure rather than a complicated regimen.
How to use Tocos
Tocos is one of the easiest superfoods to fold into daily life:
- Amount: about 1 tablespoon, once daily or as desired.
- How: stir into smoothies, lattes, tea, warm milk, coffee, or oatmeal. Its creamy texture and mild, naturally sweet flavor make almost anything more luscious.
- Recipes: blend into raw desserts, nice cream, or energy balls for a soft, velvety finish.
- When: enjoy any time of day — many love it as a creamy morning or afternoon ritual.
A gentle note: as with any new food, start with a comfortable amount and check with your healthcare practitioner if you are pregnant, nursing, or managing a specific condition.
Sourcing & quality — what to look for
Not all rice bran solubles are created equal. When choosing a Tocos, look for:
- Pure rice bran solubles. Look for 100% rice bran solubles with no fillers, sweeteners, or additives.
- Named origin. Rice is grown worldwide and conditions vary. A brand that names where its rice comes from is telling you something a generic label cannot. Ours is non-GMO rice grown in the USA.
- Natural Vitamin E content. The value of Tocos lies in its naturally occurring tocotrienols and tocopherols.
- Texture and taste. Quality Tocos is soft, creamy, and mildly sweet — not gritty or bitter.
- Thoughtful processing. Gentle handling helps preserve the delicate, naturally occurring nutrients.
- Purity screening. Rice bran carries what its soil carries. Sun Potion Tocos undergoes third-party testing, including heavy-metal testing, through independent US laboratories.
