If there was an official list of the buzziest beauty ingredients of 2024, rice water would undoubtedly be on top. Rice water, a popular skin care secret in Korea, China, Japan and other Asian cultures for many centuries, has been making its way westward and taking over our social feeds with high praises from beauty influencers all over the globe.

The once time-honored beauty secret is now widely known for its glow-boosting superpower for skin, but did you know that rice water can also work wonders on your hair? 

That’s right, the milky-white substance, made by soaking and rinsing rice grains for hours, can be quite beneficial for your strands and scalp. Rice water is rich in amino acids, vitamins B and E and minerals, which can help strengthen strands and reduce breakage and split ends.

The nutrient-rich liquid also helps to nourish and moisturize dry, damaged hair and can improve its overall appearance. Vogue even reports that rice water also “acts as a protein treatment that can minimize frizz and smooth out strands.”*

While certainly worth the effort, not everyone has the time to make their own rice water at home, so we’ve come up with a way for you to easily incorporate rice water into your routine: meet our new Organist Rice Water Hair Care Collection.

Proper hair care starts with cleansing: The Organist Rice Water Damage Care Shampoo helps to nourish each strand and enhance its natural resilience. The Organist Rice Water Damage Care Treatment is ideal for hair in need of some extra TLC: It’s infused with hyaluronic acid and collagen to help hair look smooth and soft. And the Organist Rice Water Moisture Replenish Hair Mist is the perfect everyday refresher. The two-layer mist contains a hydrating essence plus five plant oils, including jojoba and argan oils, for a soft, moisturized feel, while a blend of rice water, biotin, ceramide, protein, and amino acids enhances the appearance of softer, shinier hair.

Of course, we can’t forget about rice water’s many skin care benefits. The Organist Rice Water Body Care Collection will help you achieve luminous skin all over. Start in the shower with the Organist Rice Water Nourishing Body Wash, made with soap derived from olive oil blended with rice water extract and rice protein to gently cleanse and help skin appear soft and moisturized. Follow up with Organist Rice Water Nourishing Body Milk, an easily absorbed, nongreasy milky formula blended with plant-derived moisturizer and plant-derived oil (squalane) to help hydrate and nourish dry skin.

There’s a reason why rice water continues to be a coveted skin care ingredient generation after generation – find out for yourself. The Organist Rice Water Collection is powered by this time-honored beauty tradition and is designed to help reveal the beauty of your hair and skin.
