Our Journey to You

Women in Japan care for their skin with a beauty ritual that is as elegant as it is simple. Delicately polishing skin to a jewel-like luster is at the heart of their daily practice. For centuries, Japanese women have used the milky water from the first wash of rice to prepare a perfectly smooth complexion. The Rice Polish Collection brings this timeless secret to the modern skincare lover.

About Our Packaging

Inspired by kaizen, the philosophy of continuous improvement and learning, we are on a journey toward sustainability. The Rice Polish is packaged in a mono material jar of 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic for easy recycling. It features a new, easy-to-pour spout made with greater accessibility in mind. This push-to-open spout also better prevents water from getting into the jar, making for a more shower-friendly experience.

Quick Review: Tatcha Exfoliating Powder

"I like the Tatcha exfoliating powder because it has a really nice rice like scent, and when you add water it foams up beautifully, I love how well it lathers. It also applies smoothly on my face, and the micro exfoliant feels gentle and not harsh on the skin. However, one downside is that it can leave my face feeling quite dry, as it’s a bit on the stripping side."

Flash facial results

"I enjoy this polishing cleanser a lot. I actually foam it up and apply it on my face almost as if it was a face mask. I really like to take my time to enjoy this product. Especially after a long day at work when my face feels grimey and congested. It always leaves me radiant and refined. Almost like a flash facial in a jar."
