What it does
Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion is an ultra-lightweight moisturiser designed to deliver 24-hour soothing hydration and translucent-looking, radiant skin. The moisturiser 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 Moisturising Factors: A blend of electrolyte and amino acid molecules to support skin hydration.
Jojoba Oil: A plant oil that nourishes and moisturises the skin.
This face moisturiser 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.

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