beplain Mung Bean Cleansing Oil 200ml
Sixteen ingredients. The shortest oil cleanser here.
Esters rather than heavy oils, and the yellow is gardenia and safflower.
Water-thin, and it rinses without a film.
What this oil does
A 200 ml first-step cleansing oil built on two light esters with camellia seed oil, carrying mung bean in three forms plus Panthenol and Allantoin, formulated to take off waterproof makeup and rinse away without film.
Esters rather than heavy oils
The first two entries are Ethylhexyl Palmitate and Cetyl Ethylhexanoate — esters, not plant oils. They are thinner than triglyceride oils and rinse more completely, which is where the water-like texture and the clean finish come from. Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil is the only true oil high on the list.
Key ingredients
Ingredient · What it is, and what it is used for
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Fatty acid ester. Softens by filling the gaps between surface cells; dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid.
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate
- Fatty acid ester. Used to soften by filling the gaps between surface cells.
- Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate
- Ethoxylated sorbitol ester. Keeps oil and water from separating; does the cleansing.
- Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil
- Oil from Camellia sinensis seed. Pulls water into the surface and holds it there; sits on top and slows how fast water leaves.
- Phaseolus Radiatus Seed Extract
- Extract of mung bean seed.
- Phaseolus Radiatus Sprout Extract
- Extract of mung bean sprout.
- Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract
- Extract of gardenia fruit. Gives it its colour.
- Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Flower Extract
- Extract of safflower flower. Gives it its colour.
- Panthenol
- Provitamin B5. Used to calm irritation, and pulls water into the surface and holds it there.
- Allantoin
- Heterocyclic diureide. Used to calm irritation.
- Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate
- Polyglyceryl ester. Keeps oil and water from separating; does the cleansing.
- Sorbitan Sesquioleate
- Sorbitan ester. Keeps oil and water from separating; does the cleansing.
How the formula works together
Three emulsifiers for two esters is a high ratio, and it is the reason this rinses without the slick some oil cleansers leave. Panthenol and Allantoin at the end are the concession to skin — small, but more than most cleansing oils carry.
The colour is worth noting because it is not a dye. Gardenia fruit and safflower flower extracts are both listed as colourants; the yellow comes from plant pigment. Sixteen ingredients, no fragrance and no essential oil.
Who it is for
Labelled for all skin types, including oily. First step of a double cleanse.
