Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!
Learn more about WaterGlycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.
Learn more about GlycerinButylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
- It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
- It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
- It helps improve product application.
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.

I really do adore this cleanser, what people have said about this is extremely true. It smells of natural matcha, has an earthy light scent and contains ceramides, hyaluronic acid and Centella extract. This makes my skin feel nourished while putting it on despite its cleansed feeling. I can definitely see how some people may find it too harsh as I too have had the same experience, especially when I first started using it, I had to oscillate between my soon jung whip cleanser which is a lot gentler. But it became something that my skin really needs in summer/spring so I’d definitely recommend it for people in hot climates or just oily skin/sweaty skin. One thing I love about this cleanser is that it feels so good to rub in, it has a consistency of like powdered chalk butter then once you rub it in your hands it feels like a glossy conditioner texture.
What did this do for my skin:
- cleans my skin properly without leaving a slimy residue
- after I use it I tried to experiment by not applying toner but instead letting my skin air dry, I’ve noticed it takes a longer time to dry (about 6 more mins) than other cleansers I use this could be due to the hyaluronic acid and ceramides preventing water loss
-less dead skin cells come off than other cleansers when I wipe it off with my toner pads afterwards
-really feels like a clean slate
-the harshest I can cleanse my skin without exfoliators in my cleanser and tight uncomfortable skin
- makes me feel like I’m in a spa because of the smell hehe
How it differs from other cleansers:
-fungal acne ingredients safe 🤩
- has natural substance of matcha in it, so it smells really nice too
-really lovely texture
-doesn’t froth or foam but more so lathers and glides on face
Drawbacks:
-can be harsh for dry skin because of how deep it cleans
-I’d feel really worried when I first used it if I didn’t have extra gentler cleansers laying around in my room because it was a little too much for my skin to get used to (got there eventually)
Who I’d recommend it for:
- oily skin
- combination skin
- people with lots of closed commodones
-hot climate/sweating users
-people who want a deeper thorough cleanser without exfoliants like salicylic acid
When do I use it/recommend it for:
-summer, humid or dense areas
-mornings are good evening feels even better
How long it lasts:
Will update, only had it for 1 month but there’s plenty left.
Water and oil based Cleansers are the basics that need to be perfected, I wouldn’t recommend this for your first starter cleanser but definitely for someone wanting to niche down their specific needs depending on their learnt skin behaviors
