Frequently asked questions
FAQYes, this cream is safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, benzoyl peroxide, or chemical sunscreen filters that are typically avoided during pregnancy. The vegan, fragrance-free formula is gentle and focuses on nourishing ingredients like rice extract, ceramides, and plant-based humectants.
No, this cream is NOT fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that may feed malassezia yeast, including Cetyl Palmitate, Sorbitan Olivate, Sorbitan Palmitate, Pentaerythrityl Distearate, and Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate. If you have fungal acne or are prone to it, consider alternatives like COSRX Snail Mucin or specific fungal acne-safe moisturizers.
Yes, this cream pairs well with active ingredients. Apply water-based actives (like vitamin C serum or AHA/BHA toners) before the cream. For retinol, apply retinol first, wait a few minutes, then apply this cream to buffer and moisturize. The ceramides in this cream actually help support skin while using potentially drying actives.
This cream is excellent for dry, normal, combination, and sensitive skin types. It's particularly beneficial for those with compromised skin barriers or dull, dehydrated skin. While it can work for oily skin, those with very oily skin may find it slightly rich—best used at night or in smaller amounts. Not recommended for fungal acne-prone skin.
You'll notice immediate hydration and softness upon first use. Texture improvements typically appear within 1-2 weeks. Skin barrier strengthening benefits develop over 3-4 weeks of consistent use. Brightening effects from the rice extract become visible around 6-8 weeks. For best results, use consistently morning and night.
Apply this cream as the final step of your skincare routine (before sunscreen in the morning). The typical order is: Cleanser → Toner → Essence → Serum → This Cream → Sunscreen (AM only). For extra dry skin, you can layer a facial oil underneath or on top. At night, it's your final step unless you use a sleeping pack.
This cream has a comedogenic rating of 2/5, which is considered low. The main potentially comedogenic ingredients are Cetearyl Alcohol and Cetyl Alcohol (both rated 2). Most users report no clogged pores, and several reviews from acne-prone users confirm it didn't cause breakouts. However, everyone's skin is different, so patch testing is recommended.
The cream has a PAO (Period After Opening) of 12 months. Once opened, use within 12 months for best efficacy and safety. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The 70ml tube typically lasts 2-3 months with twice-daily use on face and neck.
Verdict: Goodal Vegan Rice Milk Moisturizing Cream is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a nourishing, vegan moisturizer with proven skin barrier benefits. The combination of Jeju rice milk and ceramides delivers effective 24-hour hydration while the clean, fragrance-free formula suits even sensitive skin. It's pregnancy-safe and eco-consciously packaged. The main limitations are that it's not fungal acne-safe and may feel too rich for very oily skin types. At its price point, it offers solid value for the quality of ingredients—especially for dry, normal, and combination skin seeking barrier repair and gentle hydration.

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.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
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.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
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.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

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.
