innisfree Apple Seed Bubble Cleanser
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-22
What is this product?
A mildly acidic (pH 5.5 to 6.5) second-cleansing foam built on mild glutamate and amphoacetate surfactants, with apple seed oil at 40ppm and apple extract at 20ppm; a reasonable pick for daily gentle cleansing, though the apple-derived texture benefits are not substantiated by disclosed testing.
What makes it different?
The formula pairs a glutamate-based mild cleanser (item 6) with an amphoteric co-surfactant (item 7) rather than harsh sulfate surfactants, and the page prints a specific pH range of 5.5 to 6.5. Concentrations for both apple ingredients are disclosed, which is unusual transparency, but they sit in the mid-to-late part of the list. Fragrance is included at item 9, so scent-sensitive users should note that. No drying alcohol appears in the 20-item list.
