What we found
Based on how this product compares to others in the cleansers category, cross-referenced against retailer listings and market data.
Strengths
- + The mildest surfactant system in its set: coco-betaine leads, backed by coco-glucoside and decyl glucoside — no sulfate surfactant of any kind
- + Fragrance-free and essential-oil-free, with a verified no-tightness after-feel in reviews
- + Bouncy gel with finely ground green tea powder that foams richly for a second cleanse
- + EVE Vegan Certified (per the Ulta listing), and sold at Ulta, Olive Young Global and Stylevana
Worth knowing
- - No pH is disclosed anywhere — 'pH-balanced' appears only in retailer Q&A copy, so we don't print one
- - The kombucha ferment sits at the tail of the list with its dose undisclosed; in a rinse-off it earns 'contains,' nothing more
- - Thin Korean review base so far — a 2025 product with a single-digit-to-low-teens Hwahae count
- - Mid-tier per-gram price ($0.135) for a daily-use gel, and under-rinsing leaves a light residue

| Ingredient | What it is | What it does for skin |
|---|---|---|
| Coco-Betaine | A specific active or extract in this formula. | Not yet independently verified against general dermatology sources. |
| Coco-Glucoside | A specific active or extract in this formula. | Not yet independently verified against general dermatology sources. |
| Decyl Glucoside | A specific active or extract in this formula. | Not yet independently verified against general dermatology sources. |
| Panthenol | Pro-vitamin B5, which converts to pantothenic acid once absorbed into skin. | Hydrates as a humectant, supports wound healing, and has anti-inflammatory, soothing effects on irritated skin. |
| Niacinamide | A form of vitamin B3, one of the most studied ingredients in cosmetic dermatology. | Strengthens the skin barrier by boosting ceramide production, helps even out tone by limiting pigment transfer to skin cells, and can reduce the look of enlarged pores. |
| Green Tea Powder | A specific active or extract in this formula. | Not yet independently verified against general dermatology sources. |
| Kombucha Ferment (Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment) | A specific active or extract in this formula. | Not yet independently verified against general dermatology sources. |
| Ceramide NP | One specific, well-studied type of ceramide used in skincare formulas. | Reinforces the skin barrier and helps it retain moisture, the same core ceramide function. |
