Bring Green Tea Tree Cica Soothing Toner

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-06

What is this product?

Bring Green's Tea Tree Cica Soothing Toner is for oily, congested skin that gets on well with tea tree, and it delivers far more of it than most: tea tree extract is printed first of its 17 ingredients, ahead of water, with two more tea tree entries at 7th and 8th and centella 5th. That is also the reason to skip it if your skin is reactive, because the 8th entry is tea tree leaf oil, one of the more commonly reported contact sensitisers among cosmetic essential oils, and no concentration is published for it or for the salicylate at 15th. The brand runs no published test behind its acne-prone suitability claim, giving no participant count, institution or date, and does not publish a pH.

What makes it different?

Printing a botanical ahead of water is an unusual ordering decision, and it is what this product is. Bring Green even warns buyers that the high tea tree content can throw a visible white sediment, a self-adverse note that the ingredient order independently backs up. Its AHA claim is the weak part: the only alpha hydroxy acid on the label is citric acid at 13th, sitting right after sodium citrate at 12th, which is a pH buffer pair rather than an exfoliant, and the ingredient actually working on dead skin and sebum is a BHA at 15th.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 2 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Key ingredient

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: 티트리잎오일, 베타인살리실레이트

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 4 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.
