Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSJapanese Rice Powder (Oryza Sativa)Proven
Ultra-fine, naturally-derived rice particles that provide gentle physical exfoliation. Rice has been used in Japanese beauty rituals for centuries — the milky water from rinsing rice is rich in vitamins A, B2, B12, and E, plus moisturizing proteins that soften skin and boost luminosity.
- Function: Gentle physical exfoliant that buffs away dead skin cells without microtears
- Benefit: Softens skin texture and enhances natural radiance
- Safety: Finer than walnut scrubs; dermatologist-approved for daily use
Sodium Hyaluronate Undisclosed %Proven
The salt form of hyaluronic acid — a powerful humectant that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Helps counteract the drying effects of cleansing by pulling moisture into the skin.
- Clinical: +39% average boost in skin hydration measured in a 4-week study
- Mechanism: Smaller molecular weight allows deeper penetration than standard HA
- Source: Widely studied humectant recognized as a gold-standard moisturizing agent
Hadasei-3 (Fermented Rice/Green Tea/Algae)Promising
Tatcha's proprietary fermented superfluid combining three Japanese superfoods: Akita rice, Uji green tea (Camellia Sinensis), and Okinawa red algae (Cladosiphon Okamuranus). The fermentation process breaks down complex biomolecules, isolating beneficial compounds for enhanced skin absorption.
- Green Tea: Rich in catechin antioxidants (especially EGCG) that neutralize free radicals
- Rice Ferment: Delivers amino acids and peptides that support moisture retention
- Algae: Okinawan red algae provides minerals and polysaccharides for skin conditioning
Okinawa Algae Blend (Chondrus Crispus & Betaphycus Gelatinum)Promising
A dual-algae blend of Irish moss (Chondrus Crispus) and red seaweed (Betaphycus Gelatinum) extracts. These marine ingredients create a moisture-locking film on the skin and deliver essential minerals for nourishment.
- Chondrus Crispus: Film-forming red seaweed that smooths and moisturizes skin
- Betaphycus Gelatinum: Emollient seaweed extract that enhances skin softness
- Synergy: Together they help replenish ceramides and support the skin barrier
Amino Acid Surfactants (Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate)Proven
A gentle, coconut-derived amino acid cleanser that forms the pH-neutral base. Unlike harsh sulfates (SLS/SLES), amino acid surfactants cleanse effectively without disrupting the skin's natural moisture barrier.
- pH: Maintains a neutral pH around 6.0, matching the skin's natural acid mantle
- Gentleness: 96% of subjects felt skin was balanced after use in clinical testing
- Lather: Creates a creamy, milky foam rather than a harsh stripping lather

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEUse as a standalone morning cleanser or as a second cleanse in your PM double-cleansing routine. Best paired with an oil-based first cleanser for heavy makeup removal.
How to use
HOW TO USEWet Your Face & Hands
Start with damp skin and wet hands. This helps the cleanser lather into its creamy foam texture.
Dispense an Almond-Sized Amount
Squeeze a small pearl (about almond-sized) into your palms. A little goes a long way with this concentrated cream formula.
Lather & Massage
Rub palms together to create a creamy, milky foam. Gently massage onto face in circular motions for 30–60 seconds, avoiding the eye area. The fine rice particles will lightly polish the skin.
Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse with lukewarm water until all product is removed. Pat dry with a clean towel and follow with your toner, serum, and moisturizer.
Who is it for?
WHOPerfect for you if:
- You have dry, normal, or combination skin that feels tight after cleansing
- You want a gentle daily cleanser that maintains skin hydration
- You're looking for a pregnancy-safe and fungal acne-safe option
- You enjoy a luxurious, spa-like cleansing ritual
- You want gentle exfoliation without harsh scrubs
- Your skin looks dull and needs a luminosity boost
Consider alternatives if:
- You need a heavy-duty makeup remover (use an oil cleanser first)
- You have very oily skin and prefer a more mattifying cleanser

- You're on a strict budget (there are effective dupes below)
- You prefer a completely foam-free, no-lather cleanser
- You want active acne-fighting ingredients in your cleanser
Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESThis cleanser was practically made for dry skin. The amino acid base and hyaluronic acid leave skin hydrated — never tight or stripped. The creamy lather feels nourishing and soothing.
Perfectly balanced for normal skin. Removes daily buildup effectively while maintaining natural moisture levels. Rice powder adds a gentle glow-boosting polish.
Works well on the drier areas of combination skin. Oily zones get a thorough but gentle cleanse. May not control excess sebum as much as gel cleansers.
May feel too hydrating or not cleansing enough for very oily skin. Tatcha's The Deep Cleanse is a better match for oil control. Still safe and non-comedogenic if you prefer it.
Gentle amino acid surfactants and pH-neutral formula are ideal for sensitive skin. However, the fragrance and fine rice particles may irritate very reactive skin — patch test recommended.
Non-comedogenic and fungal acne safe. Good for daily maintenance cleansing but won't treat active breakouts — pair with treatment products like BHA or benzoyl peroxide.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. The Rice Wash is pregnancy and breastfeeding safe. It does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, chemical sunscreens, or any other ingredients commonly advised to avoid during pregnancy. Tatcha formulates without these concerning actives across their line. The amino acid-based surfactants and rice powder are gentle and well-tolerated. Multiple pregnancy skincare databases rate it as low risk. As always, consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.
Yes. The Rice Wash is fungal acne safe. The formula is free from fatty acids, oils, esters, and polysorbates that can feed malassezia yeast — the fungus responsible for fungal acne. Multiple ingredient analysis platforms (SkinSort, Folliculitis Scout) confirm zero fungal acne triggers in the formula. It is oil-free and will not trigger or worsen fungal acne conditions.
Yes, The Rice Wash is compatible with most active skincare ingredients including retinol, vitamin C, AHAs (glycolic, lactic acid), and BHAs (salicylic acid). Its pH-neutral formula provides a clean, balanced canvas for your treatment products. The gentle rice powder exfoliation is mild enough that it won't over-exfoliate when combined with chemical exfoliants, though you may want to reduce usage to a few times per week if you're using strong actives daily.
The Rice Wash is best suited for dry, normal, and combination skin types. It excels at cleansing without stripping natural oils, making it ideal for anyone who finds most cleansers too drying. It's also great for mature skin seeking gentle exfoliation and luminosity. Those with very oily skin may find it too hydrating — Tatcha's The Deep Cleanse is a better option for oil control. Sensitive skin types can use it, though a patch test is recommended due to the included fragrance.
You'll notice softer, smoother skin immediately after the first wash. Within 1–2 weeks of regular use, the gentle rice powder exfoliation visibly improves skin texture and reduces dullness. By week 4, clinical studies show a 39% boost in skin hydration, with 92% of users reporting softer and healthier-looking skin. Maximum luminosity and barrier benefits develop with consistent use over 4–8 weeks.
The Rice Wash is a water-based cream cleanser, making it the second step in a double-cleansing routine (after an oil cleanser) or the first step if you're doing a single cleanse. Use it morning and night. In the AM, it works well as a standalone cleanser to refresh skin. In the PM, pair it with an oil-based first cleanser (like Tatcha's Camellia Cleansing Oil) to remove makeup and sunscreen before using The Rice Wash for a thorough second cleanse.
No. The Rice Wash is dermatologist tested and confirmed non-comedogenic with a very low comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5. It is oil-free and free from heavy emollients that typically clog pores. The formula is safe for acne-prone skin and is even fungal acne safe. However, as with any skincare product, individual reactions can vary — if you're particularly breakout-prone, introduce it gradually and monitor your skin's response.
The Rice Wash has a PAO (Period After Opening) of 12 months. Once opened, use within one year for optimal freshness and effectiveness. Store in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly closed. With twice-daily use (almond-sized amount each time), a 120ml full-size tube typically lasts 2–3 months. The 240ml gratitude size offers better value and can last 4–6 months.
Verdict: Tatcha The Rice Wash is a luxurious, beautifully formulated cream cleanser that delivers on its promise of soft, luminous, hydrated skin. The pH-neutral amino acid base with Japanese rice powder provides a genuinely gentle yet effective cleansing experience that respects your skin barrier. It's pregnancy safe, fungal acne safe, non-comedogenic, and compatible with virtually all active ingredients. The main drawback is the premium price tag for a wash-off product — but the tube lasts longer than expected, and the experience feels like a daily mini-spa ritual. If you have dry to combination skin and want a cleanser that leaves your face feeling clean without any tightness, this is one of the best options on the market. For budget-conscious shoppers, the Naturium Fermented Rice Enzyme Cleanser offers a remarkably similar experience at half the price.

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.

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.

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.
