SKINFOOD Pantothenic Water Parsley Toner

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-14

What is this product?

A Korean hydrating toner from SKINFOOD's Pantothenic Water Parsley line, sold in 300ml with a 115ml size also offered. The 37 item list leads with water and glycerin and discloses panthenol at 500 ppm, water parsley extract at 150 ppm and pantothenic acid at 5,000 ppb, with salicylic acid at rank 8 whose level is not stated. A xylitol humectant set and a calming block of allantoin, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, centella and matricaria sit through the middle. The statutory block records no functional cosmetic notification and names the intended skin types as 민감성 복합성 지성. The brand publishes a four week acne suitability panel on 21 subjects at 한국피부과학연구원 reporting sebum falling from 127.33 to 95.48, a 25 percent drop, run in early 2021. A 피부자극테스트 완료 badge carries no supporting study. Four essential oils are present and no 향료 is declared.

What makes it different?

The daily hydration half of a six product line whose sebum and texture half is a separate pad, with the brand assigning the roles explicitly. Two things a reader should carry: the salicylic acid at rank 8 is unquantified on a product marketed for sensitive skin, and the pantothenic acid the line is named for sits at 5,000 ppb while the working panthenol is a tenth of what the sibling pad carries.

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.
