Rice Powder: T.LeClerc's beauty ally for a flawless complexion

Rice powder is a natural ingredient that has been used for centuries in Asia to care for and mattify the skin, giving it a more even appearance. This fine powder is obtained by grinding rice grains. It was prized by the geishas, who used it to achieve a perfect complexion. Its use spread throughout the world, gaining popularity in the West as early as the 17th century.

During the 1920s, rice powder became a fashion staple, used by movie stars to achieve an even complexion in black-and-white films.
