Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence

A barrier-strengthening essence powered by fermented black rice and ceramides

This milky essence is designed to be shaken before use. It features upcycled black rice lees extract—a byproduct of traditional Korean rice wine production—alongside galactomyces and bifida ferment filtrate to refine and smooth skin texture. The creamy formula absorbs seamlessly, leaving skin hydrated and soft without any sticky or heavy residue.

Formulated with the skin barrier's golden ratio of 3:1:1

This essence is designed around the ideal ratio of ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids that healthy skin barriers naturally maintain.

• 5-Ceramide Complex (NP, NS, AP, EOS, EOP): Core building blocks that fortify and deeply hydrate the skin barrier
• 2-Cholesterol Complex (Phytosterols, Cholesterol): Supports barrier recovery and moisture balance to prevent dryness
• 5-Fatty Acid Complex (Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Arachidic Acid, Myristic Acid, Oleic Acid): Reinforces skin structure for a smoother, more even texture

Gentle enough for sensitive skin, with soothing fermented actives

Panthenol (a moisture-binding ingredient derived from Vitamin B5) draws in hydration and helps it last, while Korean fermented black rice and bamboo shoot shell extract support skin elasticity and calm irritation. Tested suitable for sensitive skin and formulated without artificial fragrance, silicone, mineral oil, or sulfates, this vegan essence is gentle enough for even reactive skin types. Recommended for all skin types concerned with dryness and barrier damage.

Shake well before use — this milky essence goes right after toner

An essence is the step you use immediately after toning to prep your skin. This formula is designed with ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids in a 3:1:1 ratio to intensively support the skin barrier. Always shake before use to blend the oil and water layers together. Follow with a serum or cream to help lock in the absorbed ingredients and prevent moisture loss.

Suitable for both morning and evening routines

Free from harsh actives and formulated around fermented ingredients and barrier-strengthening complexes, this essence fits comfortably into both your AM and PM routines. In the morning, use it to lay down a hydrating base. At night, let it help restore your skin barrier after a long day.

Dispense into palms and press gently into skin

After shaking, dispense an appropriate amount into your palms and smooth evenly over face and neck. Gently pat to help absorption — you'll get a hydrating finish without any sticky residue. The milky texture absorbs into a soft, lightweight finish.

Routine pairings by skin concern

• Dry, tight skin: Follow this essence with a centella peptide cream or hyaluronic acid cream to lock in moisture
• Rough, dull complexion: Galactomyces and bifida ferment help improve skin texture and tone
• Sensitive, irritated skin: Panthenol and fermented bamboo shoot extract offer soothing support

Storage and usage tips

This is a two-phase formula where oil and water naturally separate, so shake well before each use. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. If redness or discomfort occurs during use, discontinue and consult a dermatologist.
