Fermentation has been used for generations to improve the potency and effectiveness of natural ingredients. By gently fermenting rice water, its beneficial components are transformed into smaller, more bioavailable molecules. This traditional process helps unlock the full potential of rice, creating an extract that is even more active and functional for modern skincare and haircare.

Our Fermented Rice Water Extract combines time-honoured beauty wisdom with contemporary cosmetic science. It delivers all the well-loved benefits of classic rice water, with the added advantages that natural fermentation provides.

Fermented Rice Water Extract is produced by allowing carefully prepared rice water to undergo controlled fermentation. During this process, naturally occurring enzymes and microorganisms break down the nutrients within the rice, helping to increase their activity and absorption.

The result is a powerful, nutrient-rich extract containing enhanced levels of amino acids, vitamins, antioxidants and skin-friendly compounds. Like all our ingredients, it is processed for consistency, stability and safety, making it ideal for professional cosmetic formulations.

Fermented Rice Water Extract is especially valued in skincare for its revitalising and supporting a healthy-looking complexion. Fermentation helps to amplify the natural qualities of rice water, making this version particularly effective in modern beauty products.

It helps to support a brighter, more radiant-looking complexion while promoting a smoother, more refined skin feel. The fermentation process increases the availability of nutrients, allowing them to be more easily utilised by the skin. It is known for its soothing and conditioning effects, making it suitable even for sensitive and delicate skin types.

Thanks to its antioxidant-rich profile, Fermented Rice Water Extract is an excellent choice for formulations designed to refresh tired-looking skin, support the skin barrier and encourage a healthy, balanced appearance.

Fermented Rice Water Extract works beautifully in a wide variety of skincare products. It is commonly used in toners and essences to deliver lightweight hydration and a fresh, glowing finish. In serums and emulsions, it helps to refine texture and improve the overall look and feel of the skin.

It is also highly effective in creams, lotions, masks and targeted treatment products where enhanced conditioning and brightening benefits are desired. Its gentle nature makes it ideal for daily-use formulations and products inspired by Korean and Japanese beauty routines.

In haircare, Fermented Rice Water Extract offers improved conditioning and shine-enhancing properties. The fermentation process helps break down proteins and nutrients into forms that are more easily absorbed by the hair, making it especially beneficial for products focused on repair and revitalisation.

It can help improve the appearance of smoothness and manageability, support softer-feeling strands and contribute to healthier-looking hair overall. This makes it a popular ingredient in shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments and scalp care formulations.

We offer both Traditional Rice Water Extract and Fermented Rice Water Extract, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your product concept. The traditional version celebrates simplicity and heritage, while the fermented extract provides a more active, boosted alternative for results-driven formulations.

Whichever you choose, Rice Water Extract remains a beautifully versatile ingredient with a rich history and a bright future in skincare and haircare.
