Ingredient overview

What is Black Rice?

Black rice is a pigmented rice variety rich in anthocyanin-related compounds and is used in Korean skincare for antioxidant, hydration and radiance-focused positioning.

Cosmetics may use black-rice extract, bran extract or fermented materials, which are not chemically identical. It is generally a supporting botanical rather than a standardized high-strength active.

How to use it

Use according to the finished product directions. Ferment-derived ingredients commonly appear in essences, serums and moisturizers and usually fit morning or evening routines as supporting conditioning ingredients.

Pairing guidance

Routine compatibility

Generally compatible with humectants, barrier lipids, niacinamide and most common actives. Ferment ingredients are usually supporting components rather than ingredients that require special separation rules.

Formula context matters

Good to know

Ferment filtrates and lysates are not the same as live probiotics. Their composition varies by organism, strain and manufacturing process, so claims should be specific to the finished product.
