Rice Water Exfoliating Body Wash puts three exfoliating acids into a gentle daily cleanse for skin that feels rough, bumpy or dull. Organic rice water, aloe vera and licorice extract lead the printed list; glycolic, salicylic and lactic acid, gluconolactone and niacinamide follow, in a sulphate-free, pH-balanced wash labelled for all skin types.
FOR SKIN THAT FEELS LIKE SANDPAPER ON THE UPPER ARMS
Body skin builds up dead cells faster than the face and gets scrubbed less. A wash with exfoliating acids does the job evenly and without grit: glycolic and lactic acid loosen the surface, salicylic acid clears the pores, gluconolactone does it gently. Rice water, aloe and niacinamide keep the cleanse soft.
Glycolic, lactic and salicylic acid and gluconolactone loosen dead surface cells chemically, so the whole body is polished evenly rather than wherever the scrub happened to land.
The pack describes a wash that helps unclog pores. Salicylic acid, the BHA, is oil-soluble, which is why it is the acid reached for on bumpy upper arms and backs.
The pack describes mild cleansers with rice water, aloe vera and niacinamide to cleanse without stripping moisture. The base is sulphate free and pH balanced, as the icons print.
Licorice extract and vitamin E are described as supporting brighter, smoother, healthier-looking skin. Daily exfoliation is the honest route: a smooth surface reflects light more evenly.
The pack states suitable for daily use and for all skin types. Because the acids are rinsed off after a minute, the wash is milder than a leave-on acid; still, patch test first and ease in if your skin is sensitive.
Lab tested, paraben free, GMP certified, pH balanced, cruelty free and sulphate free are printed on the pack. This page repeats those and nothing more.
ONE RICE WATER HERO · THREE ACIDS · THREE SOOTHERS
Organic rice water extract, aloe vera extract and licorice extract head the printed list; glycolic, salicylic and lactic acid, gluconolactone, niacinamide and vitamin E follow in the full composition. Open each card for what the ingredient is known for, without pretending that an ingredient's reputation and a measured result on this bottle are the same thing.
Rice water is the water rice has been soaked or cooked in, used across Asia for generations as a softening rinse for skin and hair. It is printed first on the pack and is known for a smooth, soft feel. This card describes the ingredient, not a measured result on this bottle.
Alpha hydroxy acids are water-soluble exfoliants that loosen the bonds holding dead cells to the surface. Glycolic is the smallest and most active; lactic is gentler and more hydrating. Both are in the printed composition.
Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, so it works into pores rather than only across the surface. It is the acid associated with bumpy, congested body skin. The claim is about the ingredient, not a result on this bottle.
Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid, a larger molecule than the AHAs that exfoliates more slowly and gently and also holds water. It is the acid for skin that finds glycolic too sharp.
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 known for supporting a comfortable skin barrier and an even-looking tone. In a wash it balances the acids. This card describes the ingredient only.
Aloe leaf extract is the classic soothing hydrator, known for a cooling feel. It is printed second on the pack and softens an exfoliating cleanse.
Licorice root extract is known for a calming character and a long place in brightening formulas. It is printed third on the pack. The claim is about the ingredient, not a result on the finished product.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SMOOTH CLAIM AND A SMOOTH ROUTINE
Skin feels rough and looks dull when dead cells pile up on the surface instead of shedding. A grainy scrub takes some off unevenly and irritates the rest; a loofah does the same with more effort.
An acid wash exfoliates evenly, a little every day. Glycolic and lactic acid loosen the bonds between dead cells, salicylic acid works into the pores, and gluconolactone, a PHA, does the same job more gently. Because it is a wash, the acids are on the skin for a minute and rinsed off, which is why it can be used daily. The honest payoff is skin that feels smoother and looks more even with regular use.
THE DAILY SHOWER POLISH
The pack directs a small amount on a wet loofah or palm, massaged into a rich lather and rinsed well, daily. Exfoliating acids make skin more sun-sensitive, so wear sunscreen on exposed skin, and patch test before first use.
Step into the shower and wet the body so the wash spreads with less product.
Apply a small amount to a wet loofah or your palm, massage gently over the body into a rich lather, with extra attention to upper arms, back and thighs.
Rinse thoroughly, pat dry and moisturise on damp skin. Wear sunscreen on exposed skin by day; exfoliated skin is more sun-sensitive.

THE QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK BEFORE THEIR FIRST BOTTLE
The pack says suitable for daily use. The acids are rinsed off after a minute, which makes a wash far milder than a leave-on exfoliant. If your skin is sensitive, start every other day.
No. It exfoliates chemically with glycolic, lactic and salicylic acid and gluconolactone, so there is no grit and nothing to go down the drain.
It is sold and directed as a body wash. Face skin is thinner; use a face product made for it.
Yes, on skin that will see the sun. Exfoliating acids make skin more sun-sensitive, so an SPF body lotion or butter by day is the right partner.
The pack carries a sulphate free icon. The cleansers printed are sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, cocamidopropyl betaine and decyl glucoside.
Organic rice water extract, aloe vera extract, licorice extract, purified water, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, cocamidopropyl betaine, glycerin, butylene glycol, decyl glucoside, coco monoethanolamide, niacinamide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, gluconolactone, triethanolamine, lactic acid, vitamin E, sodium benzoate and EDTA, as printed on the pack.
