beplain Mung Bean Cleansing Oil
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-04
What is this product?
beplain's Mung Bean Cleansing Oil is a light 200ml first cleanse for oily, blackhead-prone skin that wants nothing scented on it: the base is built on esters rather than heavy plant oils, and not one fragrance ingredient is declared. It does something rare and prints amounts for the four mung bean extracts it is named after, but read those with care, because beplain's own two pages give different ppm figures and different orderings for the same product.
What makes it different?
Two things are unusual here. It publishes ingredient amounts at all, which most cleansing oils skip entirely, and it does so on a fragrance-free full ingredient list, which is also rare in this category. The usage line is unusually concrete too, telling you to keep working the oil until it turns milky rather than just saying rinse. The catch is that the amounts contradict each other between beplain's own two pages, so do not lean on either figure.

Did the ad claims hold up?
We checked 2 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. One of them holds up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.
