Our Take

A lightweight rice water and yuzu refresh mist from the Rice Water range that delivers genuine shine and a quick hydration boost to dry curls between wash days. Fast-absorbing and non-sticky. Important note: this mist contains Dimethicone PEG-8 Meadowfoamate and PEG-12 Dimethicone — it is not CGM-approved, and strict CGM followers should use a silicone-free alternative instead. For everyone else, the shine it delivers in seconds is excellent, and it handles flyaways and frizz effectively on second and third-day hair without reintroducing moisture so aggressively that it causes reversion.
