SKINFOOD Black Sugar Perfect Scrub Foam
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-22
What is this product?
A sugar-based scrub foam for physical exfoliation plus gentle cleansing, best for those who want a mild scrub but should patch test due to fragrance and citrus-derived allergens.
What makes it different?
Sucrose at position 1 doubles as the physical scrub and points to the sugar theme, with 흑설탕추출물 at position 5. The cleansing base relies on amino-acid surfactants rather than harsh ones. Plant extracts including green tea, centella and papaya sit in the later half of the list, so their concentrations are likely modest. Fragrance plus limonene and citral at the very end are worth noting for reactive skin.
