닥터바이오 Eco All-In-One Cleanser

What is this product?

A 500g all-in-one wash from Doctor Bio, a Korean derma line, sold for use on face, scalp and body from newborn through pregnancy. Thirty-three items whose mildness rests on a surfactant trio at positions 3, 4 and 5: coco-glucoside, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate and disodium cocoamphodiacetate, with no sulfate and no soap base anywhere. Glycerin is the second entry. Ceramide NP and phytosphingosine close the list at 32 and 33, at token level. The brand's own statutory panel declares no Korean functional-cosmetic filing, and the same panel prints a high-concentration AHA precaution that the ingredient list does not support, citric acid at 8 being the only acid and sitting where a pH adjuster sits. The entry a sensitive-skin reader should check is 불가리스쑥오일 at 21, an Artemisia oil from a recognised contact-allergen family, carried in a product marketed to pregnant women. No pH, no concentration and no brand-cited test appear on any surface held.

What makes it different?

Three things separate it on this shelf. First, scope: it is sold as one wash for face, scalp and body in a 500g bottle, a format and a remit that a face-only cleanser does not carry. Second, the mildness is structural rather than claimed, three low-irritation surfactant chemistries occupying positions 3 through 5 with no sulfate anywhere in 33 items, and glycerin sitting at 2. Third, and least flattering, the statutory panel contradicts itself twice: it declares no functional filing while the copy sells efficacy language, and it prints a high-concentration AHA warning over an ingredient list whose only acid sits at pH-adjuster level.

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.
