Collection: Haruharu Wonder

Black rice grown in Korea's Goesan region is naturally rich in anthocyanins (powerful antioxidants), ferulic acid, vitamin E and amino acids — significantly more than white or brown rice. When fermented, the molecular weight of these antioxidants is reduced, making them more bioavailable to skin. Haruharu Wonder uses fermented black rice as the core hydrating, antioxidant-rich base across its range, anchoring the brand in Korean clean-beauty heritage while delivering measurable results on hydration, brightening and anti-aging.

The serum combines 4% tranexamic acid (a clinical brightening active widely prescribed by dermatologists for melasma) with centella asiatica (calming) and niacinamide (additional brightening + barrier support). TXA inhibits the inflammatory signalling pathway between blood vessels and melanocytes, reducing both new pigmentation and existing dark spots. The centella component prevents the irritation that strong brightening actives can cause, making this serum suitable for sensitive pigmentation-prone skin. Used twice daily for 6–8 weeks with daily SPF50+, it visibly fades melasma, PIH and uneven tone.

The Black Rice 5 Ceramide Cream contains five different types of ceramides (Ceramides 1, 3, 4, 6 and 7) arranged in a multi-lamellar lipid structure that mimics healthy skin. Most ceramide creams contain only 1–2 types, which limits how completely they can repair a damaged barrier. The 5-ceramide complex provides comprehensive barrier reinforcement, while fermented black rice extract adds antioxidant and brightening benefits. Suitable for dry, dehydrated, atopic-leaning or post-active-irritated skin needing serious repair.

Yes — the Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream uses bakuchiol, a plant-derived alternative to retinol from the Babchi plant, in the delicate eye area where retinol can be too aggressive. Bakuchiol delivers retinol-like benefits (smoother fine lines, firmer skin, reduced crow's feet) without irritation, sun sensitivity or pregnancy concerns. The black rice base adds antioxidant protection and hydration. Apply twice daily, patting gently around the orbital bone with a ring finger. Safe for pregnant and breastfeeding users, and ideal for first-time eye-cream users with sensitive skin.
