What Else You Need to Know: For centuries, Japanese women have repurposed the milky water leftover from rinsing rice for cooking to use in their beauty rituals. A rich source of vitamins A, B2, B12, and E, this byproduct softens and boosts the look of luminosity. This original cleansing ritual was the inspiration for this wash, combining Okinawa red algae and hyaluronic acid with Japanese rice powder to replenish essential moisture for clean, hydrated skin.
Every Tatcha purchase supports equality in education through their Beautiful Faces, Beautiful Futures program.

So amazing
I used to wonder why everyone in Japan raves about rice-based skincare ingredients and I know why now 😍 it’s so foamy and creamy, honestly so satisfying to use

Soft, Gentle, and Surprisingly Luxe
The Rice Wash Soft Cream Cleanser has quickly become one of those products I genuinely look forward to using. It has the loveliest soft cream texture that feels calming and luxurious on the skin, while still cleansing properly without leaving my face feeling stripped or tight afterwards.
My skin feels clean, smooth, and comfortable every time I use it, and it gives that fresh, healthy feel without over-drying. It’s gentle enough for everyday use but still leaves your skin feeling refreshed and cared for.
Such a beautiful cleanser if you love skincare that feels effective but also really comforting on the skin.
