The brand's philosophy centres around using simple, effective ingredients derived from 100% domestically grown Japanese rice (\"Nadeshiko\" implies traditional Japanese beauty or femininity, linking to the rice heritage). Their products aim to hydrate, smooth, and minimize the appearance of pores for a clear, refined complexion reminiscent of smooth, plump rice grains. They focus on gentle formulations suitable for daily or regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlossary\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003csmall\u003e(key terms explained)\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Glossary\"\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients):\u003c\/strong\u003e Standardized system for listing cosmetic ingredients on labels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRice Ferment Filtrate (Sake):\u003c\/strong\u003e Liquid byproduct of rice fermentation, rich in amino acids and minerals, known for hydrating and brightening skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRice Bran Oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil extracted from rice husk, rich in fatty acids and Vitamin E, moisturising and antioxidant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSphingoglycolipids (Rice Ceramides):\u003c\/strong\u003e Lipids derived from rice that mimic skin's natural ceramides, helping to strengthen the moisture barrier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWash-Off Mask:\u003c\/strong\u003e A skincare treatment applied to the face and rinsed off after a set time, unlike leave-on masks or sheet masks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePAO (Period After Opening):\u003c\/strong\u003e Symbol on packaging (an open jar with a number like \"6M\" or \"12M\") indicating how many months the product remains safe and effective after first opening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetailer \u0026amp; Contact (Mauritius)\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003csmall\u003e(official contact details)\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Retailer \u0026amp; Contact (Mauritius)\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: The KEANA Nadeshiko Rice Pack 170g is not currently stocked by Adilsons.
