Lightweight Deep-Moisturizing Products

The Ordinary Debuts the Rice-Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion

The Ordinary is unveiling a new product called the Rice-Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion. This brand-new product is a lightweight, silky moisturizer that penetrates the skin for optimal, 24-hour-long hydration, proving that deep hydration does not have to equate to a heavy consistency. By combining plant-based lipids sourced from rice and jojoba oil with ectoin and naturally occurring moisturizing components, The Ordinary engineered a formulation designed to reinforce the skin’s protective barrier while maintaining fast absorption.

Using advanced microfluidization processes, the company achieved a consistent, finely dispersed emulsion that delivers a lightweight, milky texture with the conditioning performance typically associated with heavier creams.

Interested consumers can find the new product at participating retail locations and on The Ordinary website.
