mommy care Apple Cider Vinegar Cleanser

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-18

What is this product?

A Korean liquid face wash built around apple cider vinegar branding, sold by mommy care in two bottle sizes with a one-touch cap and a pump. The statutory label prints 63 ingredients and discloses four apple-derived levels: apple fruit water at about one percent, vinegar at one hundredth of a percent, and apple and apple-peel extracts in the parts-per-billion range. Cleansing comes from a mild mixed surfactant set of glucosides, an amphoacetate, an alaninate, an isethionate and coco-betaine, over a large humectant load that mostly rinses away. Niacinamide and ascorbic acid are printed but undisclosed in amount. Fragrance and menthol are both present. Reported use centres on makeup removal and pore feel rather than on the tone claim the brand leads with.

What makes it different?

Two things set it apart. The brand discloses four separate apple-derived levels, to parts per million and parts per billion, and those same figures undercut the concentrate story the page is built on. Second, the tone claim that headlines the product is a bare percentage with no method, institution, sample size or date attached anywhere the brand publishes.

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 5 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Worth 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.

We could not place these in the list above: 폴리글리세릴-4카프레이트, 폴리글리세릴-10라우레이트, 폴리글리세릴-10올리에이트, 하이드로제네이티드레시틴

Did the ad claims hold up?

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
