Featured Ingredients
Japanese Rice Bran (Komenuka): Considered the world’s most perfect food, rice is a powerhouse of nutrients for health and beauty, rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and nourishing moisturizers. The Rice Polish collection takes complete rice to maintain all its benefits, and uses a special milling process to grind it extremely finely so it gently exfoliates, softening and smoothing skin.
Licorice Root Extract: Licorice root is one of the oldest remedies in history, called “the king of natural medicines.” Rich in glabridin, a potent antioxidant and skin-soothing compound, this herbal remedy helps visibly even skin tone and calm delicate skin.
Papaya Enzymes: A fruit extract rich in papain, papaya enzymes gently remove dead skin cells from the topmost layer of skin. This natural surface skin turnover helps reveal a brighter, smoother complexion.
Formulated without: Mineral oil, synthetic fragrances, sulfate detergents, parabens, urea, DEA, TEA, or phthalates.

About Our Packaging
Inspired by kaizen, the philosophy of continuous improvement and learning, we are on a journey toward sustainability. The Rice Polish is packaged in a mono material jar of 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic for easy recycling. It features a new, easy-to-pour spout made with greater accessibility in mind. This push-to-open spout also better prevents water from getting into the jar, making for a more shower-friendly experience.
