Plantnara Jeju Sparkling Water Deep Pore Cleansing Oil

What is this product?

A 250ml cleansing oil built on ethylhexyl palmitate and plant oils, with carbonated water, gluconolactone, betaine salicylate and glycolic acid placed in the mid-to-late part of the list for a pore-focused wash-off formula.

What makes it different?

The oil stage is led by ethylhexyl palmitate with soybean and canola oil, then a wide spread of seed oils including grape seed, meadowfoam, sweet almond, avocado and sunflower. Carbonated water sits ninth and the exfoliating actives gluconolactone, betaine salicylate and glycolic acid cluster from twelfth to eighteenth, so the actives are present but likely at modest levels. Concentrations are undisclosed and the list closes with fragrance at item 20.
