ARENCIA

Chosen by a dermatologist

ARENCIA is a Korean skincare brand known for its Rice Mochi Cleansers: a dense, stretchy cleanser with a texture inspired by mochi rice cakes, which turns into a soft, creamy foam with water. The brand says its products are vegan and builds them on rice and plant extracts. Here you can buy ARENCIA in Switzerland, including the Fresh Rosehip and the Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser.

I picked ARENCIA for gentle, soap-free cleansers that feel special to use but don’t leave the skin tight.

Questions about ARENCIA

How do I use a mochi cleanser?

Take a small amount with dry fingers, lather it with a little lukewarm water in your palms, massage it onto damp skin and rinse well. Close the lid tightly so the texture stays soft. For waterproof sunscreen or long-wear make-up, use a cleansing oil first.

Is ARENCIA vegan and cruelty-free?

ARENCIA says its products are vegan and cruelty-free, and the two cleansers here list no animal ingredients. ARENCIA is not on PETA’s cruelty-free list. Both cleansers contain almond, which matters if you have a nut allergy.
