Smooth skin with rice water
After working out in the rice fields washing rice all day, the women discovered that their hands became much softer and smoother.
 
Nowadays, it is not as well-kept a secret, but rice is used as an obvious ingredient today in many beauty products for both hair and skin. Rice's many nutrients can improve the condition of hair and skin. It is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help repair cells, which in turn prevents, for example, premature aging.
 
The natural properties of rice can also relieve skin irritation and clean pores as it not only removes surface impurities but also blackheads and the excess oil that makes your skin feel oily and greasy. Rice is also recommended for whitening the skin, removing dark spots and achieving a more even skin tone.
 
Many people think that rice water is what is left over after you cook rice the usual way. You can use that water, but it does not contain the same health benefits as when cooking real rice water. Then you use a significantly larger amount of water compared to what you use when cooking rice normally.
 
Do this:
Boil 5 tablespoons of organic rice in 2 dl of water. Then turn off the heat and let it stand for 30 minutes. Strain the liquid and pour the rice water into a spray bottle. You can also apply it with a cotton ball. Use it in your daily beauty routine. Can be applied several times a day.
 
If you don't want to boil your own rice water, we've made it easy for you by adding natural rice starch to many of our beauty products. You'll find starch from rice in our face creams, face masks, hair serums and shampoos, among other things. In the shampoo, the rice starch gives nice volume by binding itself as a fine layer around the hair shaft and expanding when the hair dries, and it also contributes to softness, shine and luster.

When Johan and Anna-Lena, who founded c/o GERD, received an email from a customer, they felt that, well, now we have to do something about this. We had a fragrance-free product in our range at the time – many who had babies bought it and used it as an all-round product. The email we received was from a woman who had severe eczema on her hands and she had tried everything.
