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.

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 5 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.
