Stories from Nature
Fermented rice water is a natural ingredient with excellent strengthening, soothing, and brightening properties.
It is obtained by fermenting the water in which rice has been soaked—a process that increases the availability of nutrients and bioactive compounds.
In Japanese and Chinese traditions, it has been used for centuries to keep hair long, strong, and shiny.
It stems from a simple, ancient practice: infusing rice grains—a grain that symbolizes nourishment and purity—and allowing the naturally occurring microorganisms to trigger a gentle fermentation. In this way, the power of the plant—rich in starches, minerals, and vitamins—is “pre-digested” and made more readily available to the skin and hair, transforming an essential element of nature into an effective cosmetic treatment that deeply respects the skin’s natural balance.
Benefits for Hair
In cases of hormonal imbalances, hair tends to become thinner, more fragile, and dehydrated.
Fermented rice water can help strengthen the hair shaft and reduce hair loss due to fragility, hydrate and rebalance the Scalp—which is often drier or more vulnerable—and restore softness and shine to dull or lifeless hair.
Thanks to inositol, a sugar naturally present in rice, it penetrates the hair shaft, strengthening it from the inside and improving its resistance and elasticity, thereby reducing breakage and hair loss.
Fermentation enriches the water with natural peptides and probiotics that help rebalance the scalp’s microbiome. The formula has a gently soothing effect: it calms irritation, dryness, and sensitivity, while also helping to reduce dry dandruff and itching associated with scalp imbalances.
Rich in amino acids and plant proteins, it has a restructuring effect on the hair fiber: the hair’s surface becomes more compact, soft, and smooth, with less frizz and improved manageability, even in treated, colored, or damaged hair.
Thanks to its phenolic compounds and vitamin E, fermented rice water also offers antioxidant protection: it combats free radicals that attack the scalp and hair follicles, helping to preserve the vitality of the hair bulb and slow the signs of hair aging.
Finally, it imparts a natural shine and a pleasant, fuller-bodied look: hair appears shinier, softer, and more voluminous, without feeling weighed down.
