About the Product
Product Description
The [beplain] Mung Bean pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam is designed to restore peace to agitated skin. While many foaming cleansers use harsh sulfates that strip away natural oils, this formula respects your skin's natural "Acid Mantle" (pH 5.5~6.5).
It features a unique, hybrid texture: a creamy paste infused with finely ground Mung Bean powder. As you lather it up, these tiny particles provide a very gentle, daily exfoliation that sweeps away dead skin cells and sebum, while the Mung Bean extract soothes redness. The result is skin that feels incredibly soft, hydrated, and clear—never stripped.
🌿 The Power of Mung Bean
Why is this humble bean the star ingredient?
- Ancient Wisdom: Mung beans have been used in Korea for centuries to detoxify the body and cleanse the skin.
- 32.5% Mung Bean Extract: Instead of just purified water, the base of this cleanser is packed with extract to soothe inflammation and clear pores.
- Green Tea Powder: Working alongside the mung bean, Green Tea powder adds an extra layer of exfoliation and antioxidant protection.
