COSME NUEVO Red Rose Gentle Cleanser

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-27

What is this product?

COSME NUEVO Red Rose Gentle Cleanser is a 120 ml waterless face wash sold on the brand's Korean store. Its 38 entry Korean ingredient list, read from the brand's detail image, leads with glycerin and pairs myristic, palmitic, lauric and stearic acids with potassium hydroxide and triethanolamine, a soap base, plus twelve herbal extracts matching the brand's botanical wheel, cerium oxide and a lavender scented fragrance. No rose ingredient is listed. Antibacterial, irritation and fine dust figures are printed without readable methods. Suited to oily or combination skin; dry, reactive or fragrance sensitive skin should be cautious.

What makes it different?

A waterless soap-base cleanser that swaps water for a glycerin and twelve herb extract base, carries cerium oxide and a lavender scent, and names a red rose that its ingredient list does not contain.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 10 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

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