The Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser uses Prunus Mume fruit water and mild isethionate surfactants to keep the wash near the skin's own acidity, so there is nothing to recover from afterwards. Beauty of Joseon works from Korean hanbang tradition, and green plum has a long record there as a clarifying fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGreen plum water carries the acidity that holds the pH down:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prunus Mume is naturally high in organic acids, which is what keeps the formula near the skin's own range. That is a formulation function rather than a claim about the fruit itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsethionate surfactants clean without the soap chemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate and Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine are mild coconut-derived agents that lather lightly and rinse clean. They remove sebum and light makeup without the alkalinity that produces a squeaky finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMung bean and green tea sit in the base as supporting botanicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phaseolus Radiatus seed extract and Camellia Sinensis leaf extract carry polyphenols, alongside houttuynia, lotus and rice extracts. In a rinse-off product these shape how the cleanse feels rather than delivering a lasting effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTexture \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA light gel that produces a low, soft lather and rinses quickly.

This one uses green plum water's organic acid content to stay lower, with mild isethionate surfactants rather than soap. The lather is smaller, and skin feels settled rather than squeaky afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does pH matter in something you rinse straight off?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, for a while afterwards. An alkaline wash raises skin surface pH temporarily and leaves the barrier more permeable while it returns to normal. A cleanser near the skin's own range avoids that gap entirely, which matters most for anyone using actives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is green plum in Korean skincare?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Prunus Mume, known as maesil, is a plum variety used in hanbang practice and widely eaten and drunk across Korea. Its high organic acid and polyphenol content is what brings it into skincare, where it doubles as a natural way to keep a formula acidic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cleanser this unremarkable to use is doing its job, which is the opposite of how most of the category gets sold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sn-explore-more\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore more\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSee more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cleansers\"\u003ecleansers\u003c\/a\u003e, or explore the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/beauty-of-joseon\"\u003eBeauty of Joseon\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beauty of Joseon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59229290660174,"sku":"JSMC02-FG","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/5057\/0062\/files\/JSMC02-FG.png?v=1778671450","url":"https:\/\/skinnomid.com\/products\/beauty-of-joseon-green-plum-refreshing-cleanser","provider":"Skin-Nomad","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
