Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Barrier Essence — Intensive Hydration & Barrier Repair Treatment

A concentrated, nutrient-dense essence formulated with 95% fermented black rice extract to deliver intensive hydration, strengthen the compromised moisture barrier, and provide powerful anti-aging benefits while soothing sensitivity and protecting skin against environmental stressors. Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Barrier Essence goes beyond basic hydration to actively repair, fortify, and restore skin's natural protective barrier, making it an essential treatment for anyone experiencing dryness, sensitivity, irritation, or premature aging caused by barrier damage or dehydration.

This luxurious essence features Haruharu Wonder's signature ultra-clean, vegan formulation with fermented black rice as the hero ingredient, enhanced through a specialized fermentation process that breaks down nutrients into smaller, more bioavailable molecules for superior penetration and efficacy. The rich, silky texture delivers a surge of nourishing hydration that immediately plumps and smooths while the powerful blend of fermented extracts, ceramides, and antioxidants works beneath the surface to rebuild the lipid barrier, lock in moisture, and protect against future damage. Unlike lightweight hydrating essences, this barrier-focused formula provides substantial nourishment and repair while maintaining a comfortable, non-greasy finish that absorbs beautifully.

Perfect for compromised or weakened skin barriers, chronic dryness and dehydration, sensitive or reactive skin, post-treatment recovery, mature skin needing intensive nourishment, or anyone seeking to prevent moisture loss and strengthen skin's natural resilience.
