ShionLe Laminaria Clarifying Pad

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-30

What is this product?

A 170 ml jar of 70 two sided cotton pads from the Korean brand ShionLe, sold on the brand's own storefront as a 1+1 offer. The statutory list of 27 entries is printed as plain text and starts with water and a kelp leaf and stem juice printed at 31 percent, then butylene glycol, hexanediol, glycerin and xylitol, with five hyaluronate named entries and a polyhydroxy acid class entry, gluconolactone, at 18. Juniper berry oil and fragrance are printed. The copy claims four hyaluronic acids while the list prints five hyaluronate entries, and it marks pH 5.0 on a scale diagram without giving a measured value. No lived use reports were collected.

What makes it different?

A large printed kelp juice entry at 31 percent leading a humectant lotion, paired with a mild polyhydroxy acid class entry and a chestnut shell extract for gentle exfoliation. Trade-offs on the label: a fragrance entry and juniper berry oil against a low irritation and all green message, four hyaluronic acids claimed against five printed, and satisfaction and moisture figures tied to a six item line rather than the pad.

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.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 2 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.
