Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-21
What is this product?
A sherbet-type cleansing balm built on ester emollients and PEG emulsifiers, with carbonated water at 1,040 ppm and low-positioned salicylic acid, gluconolactone and glycolic acid for a pore-focused rinse-off step. Contains fragrance, so scent-sensitive users should take note.
What makes it different?
Carbonated water is printed at a specific 1,040 ppm concentration and sits eighth in the 19-item list, an unusual specificity for a cleansing balm. Salicylic acid, gluconolactone and glycolic acid appear together in the later half of the list, giving a mild acid-assisted pore cleansing angle. The base is ester and PEG emulsifier driven rather than wax heavy beyond one synthetic wax entry, and fragrance appears near the end.
