HARUHARU WONDER Black Rice Facial Oil 30ml

Facial oils have a reputation for feeling heavy, which puts a lot of people off, but this one is lightweight. The HARUHARU WONDER Black Rice Facial Oil is a lightweight dry oil built on black rice bran oil at 45% of the formula, and it sinks in quickly to leave skin feeling soft and comfortable with a dewy-looking finish.

The rest of the list is short and plant-derived: sunflower seed oil, camellia seed oil, sweet almond oil, and jojoba and macadamia esters, plus vitamin E. Black rice is the brand's signature ingredient and it appears fermented across the range. The texture is light for an oil, and the subtle lavender and sweet almond scent fades quickly rather than lingering.

It suits all skin types, including people who normally dislike the feel of heavier oils. It is versatile too, working on its own, mixed into a cream, or added to foundation. Note that it contains lavender oil and sweet almond oil, so it is not suitable if you avoid fragrance or have a nut allergy.

Features:

• Built on black rice bran oil at 45% of the formula.

• A short list of around eleven mostly plant-derived ingredients.

• A lightweight dry-oil texture that absorbs quickly.

• Sunflower, camellia and sweet almond oils alongside vitamin E.

• A subtle lavender and sweet almond scent that fades quickly.

• Can be used alone, mixed into a cream, or added to foundation.

Concerns:

Suitable For:

• A little goes a long way, so the 30ml bottle lasts.
