Tao Rice Water Essence
Rice Water Essence
Hydrating | Balancing | Inspired by Tradition
A Drink of Water for Your Skin
Inspired by rice water rituals passed down through generations, this weightless essence quenches deeply — like a refreshing drink of water for your skin. Formulated to restore hydration and luminosity, it strengthens the skin barrier while leaving your complexion soft, supple, and naturally radiant.
Perfect For
- Dull, dehydrated, or sensitive skin
- Strengthening the skin barrier against stress and pollution
- Deep hydration for soft, plump, mochi-like skin
Chinese Medicine Skincare Benefits
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, dullness and dehydration are often signs of a Yin deficiency — when the skin lacks vital moisture and nourishment. This essence replenishes Yin energy with fermented rice water to nourish and hydrate, snow mushroom to retain moisture, and prickly pear to calm and brighten. The result is beautifully balanced, glowing skin that feels soft and refreshed.
Why It Works
- Fermented Rice Water – rich in amino acids, antioxidants, and vitamins B, C, and E; strengthens the skin barrier and enhances radiance.
- Snow Mushroom – a natural humectant that draws and locks in moisture for lasting hydration.
- Prickly Pear – soothes irritation and supports healthy, supple skin.
By nourishing the Qi of the skin, this formula boosts elasticity, brightness, and moisture retention for a balanced, luminous complexion.
How to Use
When to Use: After cleansing.
Recommended Amount: 3–4 drops.
Application: Gently pat onto a freshly cleansed face and neck using clean hands, pressing the essence into the skin.
Routine: Follow with moisturiser and SPF.
