Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSOryza Sativa (Rice) Extract 10% (100,000ppm)Proven
The star ingredient, sourced from Gyodong Island in South Korea. Rice extract is rich in antioxidants (vitamin E), amino acids, and minerals. It brightens skin by mildly inhibiting tyrosinase activity, improves skin texture, and supports barrier function through its linoleic acid and vitamin B6 content.
- Brightening: Studies show rice water helps inhibit melanin production by blocking tyrosinase enzyme activity.
- Barrier Support: Rice proteins act as emollients, trapping moisture in the skin and reducing transepidermal water loss.
- Wound Healing: A 2002 study found rice baths improved skin barrier function and accelerated wound healing.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) ~2-4%Proven
A well-researched multi-functional active that brightens skin tone, reduces dark spots, minimizes pores, smooths fine lines, and strengthens the skin barrier by boosting ceramide production. Listed 6th in the INCI list, indicating a meaningful concentration.
- Brightening: At 2-5%, niacinamide significantly reduces hyperpigmentation and evens skin tone.
- Barrier Boost: Increases ceramide synthesis, resulting in a stronger, healthier moisture barrier.
- Anti-Inflammation: Helps reduce redness and is effective in managing acne, rosacea, and atopic dermatitis.
Centella Asiatica Extract <1%Proven
Also known as Cica or Gotu Kola, this traditional medicinal herb has been used for hundreds of years to treat wounds, burns, and inflammation. It calms irritated and stressed skin, promotes collagen synthesis, and supports skin healing.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Madecassoside and asiaticoside compounds soothe redness and irritation effectively.
- Wound Healing: Clinical studies confirm centella promotes collagen type I synthesis and improves skin repair.
Nelumbium Speciosum (Lotus) Flower Extract <1%Promising
Sacred lotus flower extract delivers long-lasting moisture to the skin and is rich in flavonoids and polyphenols. Provides antioxidant protection and helps maintain skin hydration throughout the day.
- Hydration: Lotus extract helps lock in moisture for sustained hydration and a plumped appearance.
- Antioxidant: Polyphenol content helps neutralize free radicals and protect against environmental stress.
Ceramide NP <0.5%Proven
A skin-identical lipid that is naturally found in the stratum corneum. Ceramide NP restores and maintains the skin barrier, prevents moisture loss, and protects against environmental irritants. Even low concentrations are highly effective.
- Barrier Repair: Ceramides make up ~50% of the skin barrier; replenishing them restores compromised skin.
- Moisture Lock: Prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL) for long-lasting hydration.
Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract <1%Promising
Fig fruit extract nourishes the skin barrier and promotes overall skin health. Rich in vitamins and polyphenols, it helps condition and protect the skin from oxidative damage.
- Nourishing: Vitamins and minerals from fig fruit support skin cell health and regeneration.

- UV Protection: Research found it protects against UVA radiation and inhibits UVB-induced wrinkle formation.
- Anti-Inflammatory: A 2020 study confirmed the phenolics in this root have significant anti-inflammatory effects.
Glycerin ~1-3%Proven
A classic humectant and skin-identical ingredient that attracts water from the environment and deeper skin layers to the surface. Keeps the skin lipid barrier in a healthy liquid crystal state, protects against irritation, and helps restore barrier function.
- Humectant: One of the most well-studied moisturizers; effective at concentrations as low as 3%.
- Comedogenic Rating: 0 — completely non-comedogenic and well-tolerated by all skin types.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. This toner is considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, chemical sunscreen filters, or any other ingredients flagged as unsafe during pregnancy. The formula is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic tested. However, always consult your doctor or dermatologist before introducing new skincare products during pregnancy.
No, this toner is not fungal acne safe. It contains Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, an ester that can potentially feed malassezia yeast. It also contains Triethylhexanoin, another ingredient flagged by fungal acne databases. If you suffer from fungal acne (pityrosporum folliculitis), consider the ANUA Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner, which is marketed as fungal acne safe.
Yes. The Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Essential Toner does not contain any active acids, exfoliants, or ingredients that conflict with retinol, vitamin C, AHA, or BHA. It works well as a hydrating and calming base before applying these actives. In fact, the niacinamide, ceramide NP, and centella asiatica can help buffer potential irritation from stronger actives.
This toner is best suited for dry, normal, and sensitive skin types. Its milky, nourishing texture provides deep hydration and barrier support. It also works well for combination skin. Those with very oily skin may find the texture slightly rich — if so, use one thin layer. It is suitable for all skin types according to the brand and is hypoallergenic tested.
Most users report immediate hydration and softness from the first use. Brightening and improved skin texture become noticeable within 1-2 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Significant improvements in skin tone evenness, barrier strength, and overall radiance are typically observed after 4-8 weeks. Results vary depending on individual skin conditions and complementary routine products.
Apply this toner immediately after cleansing, as the second step in your routine. Since it is a 2-in-1 toner and essence, you can skip a separate essence step. Follow with serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen (in the morning). Use it both morning and night for best results. It can be layered 2-3 times for extra hydration (the 7-skin method).
This toner has a low comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5, meaning it is very unlikely to clog pores. The formula is lightweight and free from heavy oils or known pore-clogging ingredients. Glycerin, the main humectant, has a comedogenic rating of 0. It is generally safe for acne-prone skin, though those with fungal acne should be cautious due to Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. Once opened, use the product within 12 months for optimal freshness and efficacy. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the cap tightly closed. The 200ml bottle typically lasts 2-3 months with twice-daily use, well within the PAO window.
Verdict: The Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Essential Toner is an excellent K-beauty toner-essence hybrid that delivers real results for brightening, hydration, and barrier support. Its 100,000ppm Gyodong rice extract combined with niacinamide, ceramide NP, and centella asiatica creates a well-rounded formula that outperforms many competitors at its price point. The generous 200ml size, fragrance-free formulation, and pregnancy-safe profile make it a versatile everyday staple. The only notable drawback is that it is not fungal acne safe. If you struggle with dull, dehydrated, or stressed skin and want a gentle yet effective brightening toner, this is one of the best Korean rice toners available.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.

EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
