Dating back centuries in both North and South Asia as a staple ingredient in the culinary and beauty arts, black rice was a forbidden good for the common people as it contains higher nutrition and is harder to grow. As a result, in the past it was reserved for royalty. Regardless of the inaccessibility, many of the women in show business have long used rice water (white or brown) to cleanse, tone and mask their hair and skin due to its highly beneficial bioactive compounds such as zinc, iron, iodine, selenium, and most importantly anthocyanin, one of the major antioxidant compounds that protects against the reactive oxygen species that causes cellular damage in the skin.
Black rice extract also contains high levels of various amino acids. Amino acids are our body’s building blocks. When applied onto the skin directly, they support the skin barrier’s immune system, allowing the barrier to hold the hydration within and become resilient to the environmental aggressors. When the skin barrier is constantly protected and balanced, it allows the cells to repair more quickly and prevent themselves from photoaging.

Additionally, containing isoflavonoid called puerarin which supports the thickening of the skin and increases collagen type 1 for fuller and plumper skin appearance.
Estrogen is an essential component for skin function. It helps to improve the skin thickness, plumpness, elasticity and hydration. As we age, our body’s ability to produce estrogen becomes deficient and the decrease in the estrogen negatively effects skin plumpness, elasticity and hydration. Pueraria Mirifica contains high phytoestrogen, plant derived molecules which possesses estrogen like activity. These molecules are proven to combat skin aging and other effects of hypoestrogenism such as thinning of the skin, loss of elasticity and hydration. Pueraria Mirifica contains a high amount of Puerarin, which works by increasing the estrogen activity in the cells and binding the receptors to stimulate more estrogen production naturally. Pueraria Mirifica is one the main ingredients in the Skin Revolution Mask.
