Product Details

Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion is an ultra-lightweight moisturizer designed to deliver 24-hour soothing hydration and translucent-looking, radiant skin. The moisturizer offers 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 that helps to retain skin hydration by protecting the skin against water loss.
  • 2% Ectoin: An amino acid derivative to hydrate, soothe and smooth uneven texture.
  • Natural Moisturizing Factors: A blend of electrolyte and amino acid molecules to support skin hydration.
  • Jojoba Oil: A plant oil that nourishes and moisturizes the 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.

How to Use
  • Use as directed for the specific formula and patch test before first use.
  • Introduce new active products gradually if your routine is already ingredient-heavy.
Product & Safety Guidance
  • Patch testing prior to use is advised before adding a new formula to your routine.
  • Use only as directed on unbroken skin and reduce frequency if your skin feels stressed.
  • Pair daytime routines with daily SPF where appropriate, especially when using exfoliating or brightening actives.
  • If irritation occurs, rinse off, cease use, and consult a physician.
