Donggubat 가꿈비누 [바질]

What is this product?

A solid saponified cleansing bar from Donggubat's Gakkum soap line, scented and named for basil. Fifteen ingredients: plant oils reacted with sodium hydroxide, plus two disclosed concentrations that are unusual for this price class, basil leaf powder at 5,000 ppm and basil oil at 3,150 ppm. Two essential oils are present and limonene and linalool are declared under a legend naming them as components of those oils, alongside the brand's own advice that allergen-sensitive readers check the list. The regulated information layer is thinner than for a typical skincare product: the surface carries plain 전성분, 사용법 and 주의사항 blocks and no statutory six-field notice table, so capacity, country of manufacture, responsible seller and functional filing status are not established from the brand surface. Capacity of 85g comes only from the ranking payload.

What makes it different?

Two things stand out on the surfaces read. First, disclosed concentrations: the brand prints ppm figures for both basil entries, which almost nothing else in this collection does, and it makes the product's naming claim checkable rather than decorative. Second, the record's own shape: this is a solid soap whose brand page carries no statutory notice table, so several fields that are routine for skincare are genuinely unestablished here rather than merely unmentioned, and this record marks that scope everywhere it matters.

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: 유칼립투스잎오일, 바질오일, 코코넛야자오일

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.

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.
