Notable Ingredients

• Glycerin — A humectant that draws water from the environment and deeper skin layers into the stratum corneum, maintaining hydration without clogging pores.
• Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate — An anionic surfactant derived from coconut with an exceptionally low irritation index. Its large molecular size prevents penetration into the stratum corneum, cleaning effectively while preserving the lipid barrier.
• Green Tea Extract — Contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a polyphenol that inhibits NF-kB inflammatory signalling and scavenges reactive oxygen species. Studies suggest it can help reduce sebum production in oily skin.
• Mugwort Extract — Rich in chamazulene and flavonoids that suppress histamine release and prostaglandin synthesis, reducing redness and itching. A cornerstone of Korean herbal dermatology for centuries.
• Kaolin Clay — A naturally occurring aluminosilicate mineral that selectively adsorbs sebum and impurities from pores while maintaining the skin's moisture equilibrium. Gentler than bentonite for daily use.
• Rice Flour — Contains phytic acid and ferulic acid that provide mild chemical exfoliation. Rice starch also forms a light mattifying film that reduces shine without clogging pores.
