Long recognised for its health benefits in the Far East, Rice Water has become increasingly popular in skincare and haircare formulations, with google searches for the powerhouse ingredient up +400% over the past 90 days concerning the topic of ‘scalp’.
With the fermentation process known to increase the potency of ingredients for enhanced performance, Rice Water is known for its nutrient-rich properties. Thought to contain a range of vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants, this natural ingredient deeply hydrates strands from root to tip, for improved strength and a luminous shine. Praised for its smoothing and detangling properties, the strengthening properties of Rice Water are also believed to help hair grow longer, due to reduced breakage and improved overall hair health 1.
“In the beauty industry, we are seeing a revolution in ingredient manufacturing from biotechnology, which is often referred to as fermentation. Ingredients made using biotechnology are not new, but in recent years the technology has been utilised much more to produce a raft of exciting new active ingredients for both skin and scalp” – Robin Parker, Research & Development Director, THG Labs
