About

Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion is an ultra-lightweight moisturizer to deliver 24-hour soothing hydration and translucent-looking, radiant skin. The moisturizer delivers all the hydration of a rich cream in our lightest format.1

Optimizing skin hydration requires a mixture of oil and water-loving ingredients:

  • Rice Lipids a lipid extract made from whole rice retains skin hydration, and the supporting ingredient
  • Jojoba Oil provides high emollience to reduce water loss from the skin.
  • Ectoin and Natural Moisturizing Factors in the formulation have a high affinity for water molecules to boost skin’s water content and deliver deeply hydrated skin.

This face moisturizer provides intense soothing hydration from one use, reduces visible redness, and repairs the skin barrier, making the formula ideal to combat dry and sensitive skin. The micro-fluidized texture offers an ultra-lightweight emulsion that absorbs instantly without a greasy after-feel.

Application & Layering Tips
Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion can be incorporated into any skincare regimen for dewy and radiant skin.

  • For a 62% Boost in Moisture1: Apply after Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner. 100% of users saw boosted luminosity and glossiness with use together.2 
  • For Very Dry Skin: Layer Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion with another moisturizer.
  • This moisturizer is also compatible under SPF or foundation for smooth, blendable makeup application.

*Due to the natural variation in raw materials of Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion, there will be some slight variations in viscosity between batches, which can make the product feel more or less runny. These variations fall within our strict quality specifications, and we can guarantee the product will still deliver the same quality results.
