TOUN28 Standard Cica Aloe Soothing Gel

What is this product?

TOUN28 Standard Cica Aloe Soothing Gel is a 300g aqueous soothing gel sold for face and body by a Korean brand whose range is built around low packaging formats. Aloe leaf juice leads the 29 item statutory block and water sits at position 25, which is unusual ordering and consistent with a juice rather than water base. Centella extract follows at position 5, and eight separate hyaluronic acid entries plus glycerin, propanediol, betaine and panthenol carry the hydration side. There is no lipid phase and no occlusive, so it hydrates without sealing. Three essential oils sit mid list although nothing is declared as fragrance. The currently listed page discloses no concentration; a delisted page for the same product printed 97 percent aloe juice and 6mg centella.

What makes it different?

Aloe juice rather than water as the first ingredient, with purified water only at position 25. And a disclosure that moved backwards: the concentration figures the brand once printed for aloe and centella are absent from the page now selling the product.

What is in it?

We could not place these in the list above: Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 13 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. 7 of them hold up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
