Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

What is this product?

make p:rem Safe Me. Relief Moisture Cleansing Foam is a 150ml foam launched in 2017 on a pH 5.5 mildly acidic promise, and that promise is the part to question: the pH 5.5 number traces to a 2017 article relaying the launch copy, and make p:rem publishes no measurement behind it. Its 19-item label stacks five coconut-derived surfactants at positions 2 through 10, one an outright soap and another an alkali amino-acid salt, classes normally formulated above neutral.

What makes it different?

Low-pH cleansers usually lather badly; this one answers that by stacking five coconut-derived surfactants, and one of them is an outright soap, which is exactly why its own 약산성 claim deserves a second look, with no measurement from make p:rem behind it. The other thing that sets it apart is that the fragrance here is a selling point rather than a hidden extra: bergamot and sage essential oils marketed as aromatherapy, inside a line whose name promises reassurance.

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.

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

We could not place these in the list above: 베르가모트열매오일, 세이지오일, 소듐코코일이세치오네이트, 포타슘코코에이트
