Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-20
What is this product?
A sherbet-type cleansing balm whose top of the list is dominated by ester emollients, backed by safflower, evening primrose and sunflower seed oils plus squalane for a nourishing afterfeel. Reasonable for dry or normal skin wanting a rich balm cleanse; fragrance is present, so very reactive skin should note it.
What makes it different?
Plant oils including safflower seed oil (6), ginseng berry extract (7), evening primrose oil (8) and sunflower seed oil (9) are placed unusually high for a cleansing balm, with squalane at 10 and vitamin E derivatives later in the list. The formula also carries botanical extracts such as ginseng root (16), royal jelly (17) and acerola (23). It contains fragrance (14), which some cleansing balms omit. Concentrations and pH are not disclosed on the page.

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: 에칠헥실팔미테이트, 세틸에칠헥사노에이트
Did the ad claims hold up?
We checked the one line this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. One of them looks likely, though none are proven outright.
