Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-22
What is this product?
A 300ml pump-type instant-foam cleanser built on a classic myristic and lauric acid foam base with an amino-acid surfactant, marketed around Sapindus Trifoliatus Fruit Extract that is present only at 0.45ppm. Reasonable as a daily rinse-off foam, but pore-deep cleansing claims rest on trace-level botanical content and undisclosed tests.
What makes it different?
The formula pairs fatty-acid foam with potassium cocoyl glycinate, an amino-acid surfactant, which can feel milder than a pure soap base. Humectants such as glycerin and sorbitol sit near the top of the list, and salicylic acid appears at position 11. The headline Sapindus Trifoliatus Fruit Extract sits last on the 24-item list at a printed 0.45ppm, so it is a marketing point more than a functional dose. Fragrance and two fragrance allergens are in the list, which matters for sensitive users.
