How it works
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract is named on the ingredient panel on this cleanser. Rice Extract is the anchor of the Korean rice-skincare category. It carries starches, amino acids and ferulic acid, and it is used for the look of dullness and for a soft, blurred finish. On this panel it sits alongside Mineral Oil and Saponaria Officinalis Leaf Extract. Mineral Oil is a purified petroleum-derived oil. Cosmetic grade is one of the most inert ingredients available, which is why it appears in patches, balms and formulas for easily irritated skin.

Key actives
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract
Rice Extract is the anchor of the Korean rice-skincare category. It carries starches, amino acids and ferulic acid, and it is used for the look of dullness and for a soft, blurred finish.
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil
Rice Bran Oil is pressed from the bran left over from milling rice. It carries vitamin E and a group of rice-specific antioxidants, and it is a light emollient.
Mineral Oil
Mineral Oil is a purified petroleum-derived oil. Cosmetic grade is one of the most inert ingredients available, which is why it appears in patches, balms and formulas for easily irritated skin.
Saponaria Officinalis Leaf Extract
Soapwort leaf extract. It is naturally rich in saponins, so it foams a little and works as a very mild plant cleanser.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?
This is the authentic Korean-market version of the formula, not a US-shelf substitute. THE FACE SHOP sells a separate reformulation on some US shelves, and this listing is not that version. The Korean-market batch coding and packaging travel with it, which is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.
Where does this formula come from?
It comes from the Korean-market catalog rather than a US-shelf reformulation, and the packaging carries the same Korean-market batch coding a shopper would find on the box in Korea. That sourcing is checked on this row before the page is written, not assumed from the product name. It is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.
Can I use this alongside other actives in my routine?
Yes. Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract is the lead active here, and it is formulated to sit alongside the rest of a routine rather than replace it. Introduce any new step on its own for the first week or two before adding it next to another strong active, so it is easy to tell which product is responsible for any change. Once it is settled into the routine, it layers the way any other cleansing cream in a Korean routine does.
What does Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract do in this formula?
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract is a rice-derived extract, the ingredient behind the brand's long-running Rice Water line. Rice extract has a long history in Korean beauty tradition, used specifically for an even-looking, brightened finish over time. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.
