UREUN Vegan Slightly Alkaline Soybean Cleanser
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-10-02
What is this product?
UREUN Vegan Slightly Alkaline Soybean Cleanser (120 mL tube) is a grain-powder foam cleanser whose ingredient notice lists 35 entries: four fatty acids with potassium hydroxide, a taurate, two glucosides and a betaine as surfactant entries, four grain powders, four grain or seed extracts, walnut shell powder, a fragrance entry and ceramide NP near the end. The brand prints a pH of 9.5 plus or minus 1.0, so it is a clearly alkaline soap-type wash that suits oily skin wanting a squeaky clean finish and is a poor first pick for dry, sensitive or fragrance-averse skin. Its gentle claim rests on a patch-test card with no printed result.
What makes it different?
A weakly alkaline soap-type foam that adds four grain powders and four grain extracts with the powder amount printed, set against a gentle claim whose test card shows no result.
