Rice & Radiance: Brightening from Within
Ingredient Story · Rice Line
In Korea, the connection between rice and beauty runs centuries deep. Rice water — the starchy liquid left after washing uncooked rice — has been used as a skin brightener by Korean women since the Joseon dynasty.
Modern science has caught up with tradition. Fermented rice extract contains a high concentration of kojic acid, ferulic acid, and vitamins B and E — all proven to inhibit melanin production, fade dark spots, and even skin tone.
The Rice Toner Pads we carry use fermented rice extract and rice seed oil on a triple-layer vegan pad. Each swipe delivers brightening actives, light exfoliation, and a dose of retinol — in under 30 seconds.
