About Product

Tatcha The Rice Polish Gentle 60g

The Tatcha The Rice Polish Gentle is a mild, pH-balanced powder cleanser developed specifically for dry skin, combining rice-derived ingredients and enzyme-powered cleansing with moisture-focused care.

Inspired by the traditional Japanese practice of cleansing skin with rice bran, the water-activated powder gently removes dead surface skin cells and impurities while helping preserve a comfortable, moisturised feel. One-third of the powder is made with food-grade rice flour, complemented by Rice Bran Extract and Tatcha’s signature HADASEI-3™.

The Gentle formula also contains Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, a liquorice-derived conditioning ingredient that helps care for dry skin and prevent the uncomfortable feeling of tightness associated with dryness.

Designed for everyday use, it leaves the complexion feeling soft, smooth and polished with a healthy-looking glow.

Gentle Rice-Based Cleansing for Dry Skin

Tatcha The Rice Polish Gentle adapts the traditional Japanese practice of rice bran cleansing into a modern powder cleanser created with dry skin in mind.

Its fine powder is mixed with water before application, transforming into a soft, creamy foam.

Rather than using the powder directly as a dry scrub, this water-activated format allows the formula to gently cleanse and help remove old surface keratin while supporting the skin’s moisturised feel.

The result is skin that feels clean, smooth and refined without the uncomfortable tightness that dry skin can experience after cleansing.

Rice Flour & Rice Bran Extract

Rice-derived ingredients form the foundation of The Rice Polish Gentle.

Rice Flour

Approximately one-third of the powder is made with food-grade Rice Flour, included as a conditioning ingredient.

Once mixed with water, the fine powder becomes part of the creamy cleansing foam that helps gently polish the complexion.

Rice Bran Extract

Rice Bran Extract is included for its moisturising properties.

It complements the formula’s cleansing action by helping maintain a comfortable skin feel, making the Gentle version particularly relevant for dry complexions.

Enzyme-Powered Daily Polishing

The formula combines its rice-based ingredients with enzyme-powered cleansing to help remove dead surface skin cells.

This gentle polishing action helps refine the appearance of rough, dull-looking surface texture and reveals a smoother, more luminous-looking complexion.

Despite its exfoliating function, The Rice Polish Gentle is formulated for daily use.

The product is activated with water and used as a creamy foam, with only around 15 seconds of gentle facial massage required.

Liquorice-Derived Conditioning Care

A key feature distinguishing the Gentle formula is Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, a liquorice-derived conditioning ingredient.

Tatcha incorporates this ingredient to complement the cleanser’s moisture-focused formula and help prevent the feeling of skin tightness caused by dryness.

This makes The Rice Polish Gentle particularly suited to those who want the smoothing benefits of a powder cleanser but are concerned about their skin feeling dry or uncomfortable afterwards.

Powered by HADASEI-3™

The Rice Polish Gentle also contains Tatcha’s signature HADASEI-3™, a trio of moisturising ingredients:

Rice Ferment

Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate provides moisturising care.

Green Tea

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract is included as another moisturising component.

Okinawa Mozuku Seaweed

Okinawa Mozuku Seaweed Extract completes the complex and contributes to the formula’s hydration-focused approach.

Together, these ingredients complement the rice-based cleansing system and help maintain soft, moisturised-feeling skin.

Classic vs Gentle: Which Rice Polish Should You Choose?

Both formulas share Tatcha’s rice-inspired powder cleansing concept, but they are tailored to different skin needs.

Choose Gentle if dryness and post-cleansing tightness are your primary concerns. Choose Classic if you have normal or combination skin, or want the Silk Protein and Akoya Pearl-derived ingredients featured in that formula.

Texture

A fine powder that transforms with water into a creamy foam.

The formula is not intended to be massaged onto the face as a dry granular scrub. Activating it with water creates the gentle texture designed for daily cleansing and polishing.

How to Use

Wet your hands and dispense approximately ½ teaspoon of powder into your palm.

Add water and work the powder into a creamy foam.

Apply to the face while avoiding the immediate eye area.

Gently massage the entire face for approximately 15 seconds.

Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

The formula is suitable for daily use.

Formula Highlights

Rice Flour

A conditioning ingredient that makes up approximately one-third of the powder.

HADASEI-3™

Tatcha’s moisturising complex of Rice Ferment, Green Tea Extract and Okinawa Mozuku Seaweed Extract.
