What is Rice Powder?

Rice Powder is a finely milled botanical powder produced from rice grains and rice bran. For centuries, it has been a treasured ingredient in Japanese and Korean beauty rituals, where it has been used to gently polish the skin and promote a naturally luminous complexion.

Unlike coarse physical exfoliants, Rice Powder provides a soft, delicate exfoliation that helps remove dull surface skin cells without scratching or irritating the skin. It is also naturally rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help nourish and support healthy-looking skin.

Its silky texture makes it an ideal ingredient for face masks, where it gently refines the skin while leaving it feeling incredibly soft and smooth.
