This is a Moisturizer. We Swear.

Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion is an ultra-lightweight, intensely nourishing moisturizer that hydrates for 24 hours. It’s made by microfluidizing oil- and water-loving ingredients into one silky formulation for ultimate hydrated skin.

Environmental stressors and multiple other factors can contribute to dryness, making moisturizing an essential step in every regimen to help nourish, soothe and hydrate all skin types. But how does moisturizing actually work?

The top layer of your skin contains the skin barrier, a matrix of water-loving and fat-like molecules that attract moisture and seal it in, which is why effectively hydrated skin requires balancing both water-loving and oil-like ingredients. While some traditional moisturizers can focus on creating thick or waxy films (an occlusive layer) on the surface of skin, Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion blends lightweight lipid film formers with water-loving ingredients to intensely moisturize and hydrate.

When Oil and Water Combine

Oil and water don’t usually mix. When they do, an emulsifier is needed to bind them. Emulsifiers are helpful ingredients, but some can have a waxy or heavy texture that impacts the weight of a final formula. Our new Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion is different. Made using a microfluidizer—a high-pressure homogenizing machine—we combined oil and water-based ingredients seamlessly, creating a stable emulsion with smaller, more uniform particle sizes and fewer emulsifiers that could alter formula weight. The result? A light and non-greasy texture that’s easily absorbed, for an ultra-hydrating and ultra-lightweight moisturizer.

Meet Four Powerhouse Ingredients

Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion is packed with powerful ingredients to provide immediate soothing hydration whilst reducing redness over time:

  • Rice Lipids:You’ve heard of rice water and ferments, but what about rice lipids? Made from whole rice grains, rice lipids are rich in plant-derived lipids (phytosterols) and bioactives to nourish the skin, form a light occlusive layer and give our formulation its silky texture.
  • Ectoin:An amino acid derivative produced via biofermentation, ectoin is a naturally occurring molecule found in a wide range of microbes that live in extreme conditions (like salt lakes) where they are exposed to moisture stress. Ectoin helps protect the skin barrier against water loss, helping to maintain hydration, all while visibly soothing redness and smoothing uneven skin texture.
  • Natural Moisturizing Factors:Naturally occurring in the skin, natural moisturizing factors are a blend of amino acids and electrolytes that act as humectants to help skin retain moisture and maintain a healthy moisture barrier.
  • Jojoba Oil:Naturally rich in Vitamin E and with a similar composition to human sebum, jojoba oil is skin-friendly, intensely nourishing and deeply moisturizing.

This combination of ingredients makes it the perfect moisturizer for dry, dehydrated, and redness-prone skin, including sensitive skin.

How Does Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion Compare?

Your Radiant Skin Regimen

While beauty trends – from Glass Skin to Skinimalism –come and go, dermatologists consistently emphasize that long-term visible skin health comes from supporting the skin barrier correctly. Excessive use, incorrect layering or using the wrong products for your skin type can actually lead to occlusion, irritation and even damage to the skin barrier.

Proper hydration and gentle exfoliation remain the key to achieving skin that looks smooth, even and radiant.
