Ingredients Explained
Oryza Sativa Powder is created by grinding dried seeds of rice, Oryza Sativa.
It is used to add volume and increase the thickness of a product. This ingredient may also have mildly exfoliating properties.
Rice contains numerous antioxidants which may help with anti-aging, such as vitamin E.
Learn more about Oryza Sativa PowderSucrose is a natural sugar found in fruits, vegetables, and nuts. It is the main constituent of white sugar.
In skincare, sucrose is a humectant and can be a mild exfoliant.
Sucrose is hydrophilic, meaning it attracts water. This makes it an effective humectant and helps hydrate the skin.
Studies show sugars may worsen acne-prone skin due to it disrupting the skin's natural biome. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have any concerns.
In some products such as body scrubs, sucrose is used as an gentle exfoliant.
The term 'sucrose' comes from the french word for sugar, 'sucre'.

Oatmeal kernel flour has abrasive, or exfoliating, properties.

Vaccinium Macrocarpon Seed Powder comes from cranberry seeds.
As an abrasive, it helps remove the top layer of skin cells. We recommend wearing SPF especially after exfoliating.
Salix Alba Bark Powder is an exfoliant. It can worsen rosacea.
Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Powder is created from the leaves of the ginkgo biloba tree. This tree is native to China.
Ginkgo Biloba has antioxidant and soothing properties.
Carica Papaya Fruit Extract comes from the flesh of the papaya. It's a skin conditioning agent that carries a mix of bioactives like papain, beta-carotene, and vitamin C.
These bioactive compounds give it two main talking points:
1. Papain is a proteolytic enzyme that provides mild exfoliation, helping skin look smoother and more even.
2. The carotenoids and vitamin C provide some antioxidant activity.
It's pretty compatible with most ingredients, but just sure to space out enzyme products with strong acids/retinoids to avoid over-doing it.
Maximum reported concentration is around 0.1% and most leave-on products use just 0.05%. If you see higher figures like 5-10%, this is usually the pre-diluted material from raw extract suppliers.
This ingredient has an assuring safety record and there's a lack of clinical case reports of dermatitis from using it.
The only caveat is allergy: patch test if you have a papaya or latex-fruit allergy.

Chondrus Crispus Powder is just Irish moss, a red seaweed harvested, dried, and ground into a fine powder. Because it's the whole plant rather than a liquid extract, it has an official INCI job as an "abrasive".
This ingredient also happens to be loaded with carrageenan, a sugar-based polysaccharide, that allows it to double as a thickener and light hydrator.
Real world concentration is low; industry surveys report a maximum of 0.1% across 63 leave-on products.
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel reviewed it in 2021 and concluded it's safe at current use levels and every human sensitization study on it came back negative.
Allergy risk is very low with no documented pattern of reactions but anyone with a known seaweed or iodine sensitivity may want to patch test since dried Chondrus crispus does carry a small amount of natural iodine.
