APRILSKIN
APRILSKIN CARROTENE IPMP™ HYDROMELT CLEANSING BALM
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-04
What is this product?
The carrot is scenery rather than a dose, though. APRILSKIN publishes no amount for any ingredient, no pH and no test of its own, and five botanical oils scent it, with 리모넨 and 리날룰 declared.
What makes it different?
It is built on esters and a synthetic wax rather than plant oil, which is why it rinses without the slippery film an oil balm leaves behind, and it comes with a spatula. The carrot story runs from 당근수 to 당근추출물 to 당근씨오일 with 베타-카로틴 printed separately, and not one of them carries a figure. The name sells IPMP while the label prints o-사이멘-5-올, and nothing on the page tells you those are the same thing.

- Using the built-in spatula, dispense an appropriate amount onto dry hands and face, cleanse as if massaging gently, then rinse off with lukewarm water.

- For eye makeup with high staying power, we recommend leaving it on the eye area for 1-2 minutes to give the makeup enough time to melt, then massaging.
