EFILOW Heartleaf Biome Facial Soap

What is this product?

A genuine saponified bar cleanser from 에필로우 whose evidence situation is as distinctive as its formula. The twenty three item Korean statement opens with 소듐팜커넬레이트, 소듐팔메이트, 정제수, 포타슘팜커넬레이트 and 글리세린, then free palm kernel and palm acids, which makes this a real soap rather than a syndet bar wearing the word, and using both sodium and potassium salts is a way of tuning hardness and lather together. Three plant oils follow, 올리브오일 at eight and 아보카도오일 and 호호바씨오일 at twenty one and twenty two, so it is superfatted rather than bare. The two ingredients the product name points at sit in the back half: 약모밀추출물 at eleven for the heartleaf and 락토바실러스발효용해물 with 효모/쌀발효여과추출물 at sixteen and seventeen for the biome, and no level is printed for any of the twenty three entries. 로즈마리잎오일 at nineteen means the bar carries an aromatic plant oil even though no compounded fragrance is listed. The cautions are the ones a true soap always carries plus two specific to this record: no pH figure is published anywhere, which matters most on the format where alkalinity is the defining property, and the brand's own storefront does not sell this bar, so every fact here rests on one third party retail page.

What makes it different?

Two things separate this from its category. The formula difference is the ferment pair carried into a solid bar: fermentation derived ingredients are routine in toners and serums and uncommon in saponified bars, and this one carries two of them alongside heartleaf extract, which is the pairing the product name is built on. The evidence difference is the one a reader should weigh before the formula: the brand's own storefront does not list this bar in either of the two category pages read, so this record has no brand published statement to check the retail listing against, and both the ingredient statement and the single marketing sentence come from the same third party page.
