Paraben free, sulfate free, alcohol free, Eu allergen free, silicone free and fungal acne safe (malassezia).

There is no added colouring, preservatives or fragrance.

-Soybean extract is used in skincare for its powerful antioxidant potential, meaning it is able to protect the skin from free radical damage. Research has also shown this extract to be able to visibly even out skin tone, and reduce the visible signs of ageing.

- Punica granatum extract (commonly known as pomegranate) offers antioxidant properties that can help improve the appearance of aging skin by inhibiting damaging environmental stressors. It can also have a soothing effect on skin.

- Ferment PEAR B is anti-acne (peeling) and anti-aging active ingredient, recommended for anti-wrinkle cream, moisturizer and other skin care applications. It is a fermented liquid obtained by fermenting Pear fruit juice with plant-derived lactic acid bacteria

Texture: It is yellowish watery with texture of goopy slimy mucin of soybean. It doesn't have any scent at all.

Review: I use it with an exfoliating toner and it works pretty good for my skin. It is hard to absorb if I am trying to layer this bean essence with many other hydrating products (non watery). It does help to balance out skin with ferments but it is not going to prevent breakouts so do use your dedicated acne products. I do find that it helps with stronger skin barrier, reduce redness, hydrate my skin and keep the moisture in.

Overall: An affordable mild essence containing ferments, help with stronger skin barrier and for anti aging.
