Name: SRB Rice Water Rice Bran Cleansing Pad
Brand: SRB

What is this product?

SRB 쌀뜨물 미강 클렌징 패드 is a set of 60 pre-soaked wipe-off cleansing pads from the Korean brand SRB, positioned on a rice water and rice bran story. How those pads are packed and dispensed is not recorded in the collected material and is not described here. The Korean ingredient statement runs 15 entries and opens 정제수, 다이프로필렌글라이콜, 다이에톡시에틸석시네이트, so the soak is water-continuous with glycol and succinate-diester solvents and no oil phase at all. Its only two surfactants, 폴리글리세릴-4카프레이트 and 폴리글리세릴-6카프릴레이트, are nonionic polyglyceryl esters from the mildest class in common use, with no sulfate, betaine or cationic agent present on the printed list. Preservation runs on 1,2-헥산다이올, 하이드록시아세토페논 and 에틸헥실글리세린. The two rice materials are the rare case of disclosed dosing, 쌀추출물 at 1,000ppm and 쌀겨추출물 at 100ppm, and 알란토인 is the one soothing agent. No fragrance entry, no denatured alcohol and no essential oil appears on that list. No pH figure, no English INCI statement and no brand-cited test was secured.

What makes it different?

Three things separate this from its category neighbours. First, the surfactant system is the whole product: two nonionic polyglyceryl esters and nothing harsher, in a soak with no oil phase, which makes it one of the mildest constructions a wipe-off pad can have and explains why gentleness is what its reviewers record. Second, the label discloses concentrations, which almost nothing in this category does. 쌀추출물 at 1,000ppm and 쌀겨추출물 at 100ppm are printed on the statement, and the numbers are small enough that they quietly refute the brand's own antioxidant framing while the brand publishes them anyway. Third, it is a rare case where the marketing story and the formula's actual competence point in different directions: the brand sells rice bran antioxidant capacity against blueberries, and what the formula is genuinely good at is taking makeup off reactive skin without a fragrance, an alcohol or a stripping surfactant anywhere on the list.

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 3 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.
