Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-27

What is this product?

A 200 ml aromatic face mist from a French aesthetic skincare brand, sold in Korea through the official importer's store and positioned as a mist toner for dry skin. Its 15 entry list is water, glycerin and a PEG castor oil solubiliser, a chlorhexidine preservative, five essential oils (lavender, scented geranium leaf, rosemary leaf, a conifer oil and a thyme oil), a red colourant and five declared fragrance allergens. No ethanol entry, no separate fragrance entry and no exfoliating acid. The page cites a panel test of this product for firmness, radiance, hydration and soothing but prints no result figures.

What makes it different?

The scent comes entirely from five essential oils rather than a fragrance entry, in a short list with glycerin as the only humectant and no alcohol. The page backs its performance wording with test citations that give the lab, panel size, dates and body site but no measured result.

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 6 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Worth a closer look

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