May Young Vegan Moist Oil Two Foam Cleanser
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-22
What is this product?
A vegan two-format cleanser built on mild amino-acid and amphoteric surfactants, with a large spread of plant extracts for soothing. Best suited to sensitive skin wanting one gentle wash without added fragrance or drying alcohols.
What makes it different?
The cleansing base relies on coco-betaine, sodium cocoamphoacetate and potassium cocoyl glycinate, which sit third to fifth in the list, rather than harsher sulfate surfactants. Forty-four ingredients total include roughly thirty plant extracts concentrated in the later half, among them centella, green tea and oat. The formula contains no added fragrance and no drying alcohols, and one ferment (Lactobacillus Ferment, 13th) plus a licorice extract add soothing candidates. Vegan certification is stated on the retail listing.
