GINGER6 Hydrating Ginger Water Foam Cleanser

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-30

What is this product?

GINGER6 Hydrating Ginger Water Foam Cleanser is a 150 ml rinse-off foaming face wash from a Korean brand. Its 53-entry list, read from the brand's own product-page image in Korean and Latin script, opens with ginger water at a printed 31.7 percent, then 1,2-hexanediol and a run of fatty acids with potassium hydroxide, which points to a soap-type base. Salicylic acid is entry 23, five hyaluronic acid family entries sit near the end, and three essential-oil entries are printed with no fragrance entry. No pH value or salicylic acid level is printed in the list. The brand prints cleansing test figures on 20 participants, in-vitro raw material figures and a vegan logo.

What makes it different?

A foaming wash that leads with ginger water at a printed 31.7 percent and pairs it with salicylic acid on a soap-type base, while the brand's melanin and collagen headlines are raw material lab figures and its pore residue headline prints 99 against a printed 99.58.

What is in it?

Key ingredientWorth a closer look

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

Our research flagged these as worth a closer look, but we could not find them by name in the list above: Myristic Acid 1 more could not be matched to an English name.
