Ariul Stress Relieving Micellar Lip and Eye Remover

What is this product?

A 300 mL biphase eye and lip makeup remover built on a fatty-alcohol ester and a volatile hydrocarbon, wiped off with a cotton pad. The label is short on the usual irritants: across 21 printed ingredients there is no fragrance entry, no labelled allergen, no denatured alcohol, no sulfate and no acid, and the single surfactant is one cationic quat at position eight. Nine plant extracts fill the tail behind panthenol at five. The brand's two specific claims fare differently under checking: the absence of stinging has a structural basis and consumer support, while the advertised 7:3 water-to-oil ratio has no supporting figure on any surface examined. No pH and no test data are published.

What makes it different?

Two things. First, four separate irritation routes are absent at once on a 21 item list applied next to the eye: no fragrance, no labelled allergen, no denatured alcohol, no sulfate. Second, the brand publishes a question-and-answer block that explains its own product's phase-boundary foam and names three ingredient families it left out, and every word of that disclosure lives inside images rather than page text.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: 로즈마리잎추출물, 세틸에틸헥사노에이트

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 4 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
