Mung Bean Ph-balanced Cleansing Foam

The beplain Mung Bean pH‑Balanced Cleansing Foam is a gentle foaming facial cleanser from the Korean skincare brand beplain, formulated with mung‑bean (Vigna radiata) extract and powder, along with amino‑acid based surfactants, designed for daily cleansing while maintaining the skin’s natural pH balance. It is marketed as suitable for sensitive skin, and aims to cleanse away impurities, excess sebum, ultra‑fine dust and light makeup, without stripping or disrupting the skin barrier.

Features and Benefits

• Low pH / pH‑balanced formula: The cleanser is described as “pH‑Balanced”, meaning it is formulated to maintain the skin’s natural acid mantle rather than raising it significantly. 
• Mung bean extract & powder: Contains a significant proportion of mung bean derived ingredients (e.g., Vigna radiata seed extract ~3,300ppm, Phaseolus radiatus seed powder ~9,000ppm according to one listing) to support mild exfoliation and skin conditioning. 
• Amino acid‑based surfactants: Uses mild surfactants like sodium cocoyl glycinate and sodium lauroyl glutamate rather than harsh detergents, which contributes to gentler cleansing. 
• Barrier‑supporting ingredients: Includes ceramide NP, sodium hyaluronate and other skin‑conditioning ingredients to help maintain hydration and barrier function. 
• Fragrance‑free / minimal added fragrance: According to ingredient listings and reviews, this cleanser is free from strong fragrance or essential oils and avoids harsh alcohols (though a small amount of alcohol is listed in one INCI).
• Light mild exfoliation: The presence of mung bean powder and finely textured particles is noted in reviews to provide slight exfoliation/physical “scrub” feel though still gentle.

Suitable Skin Types

• Sensitive skin: Because of the gentle surfactants, low pH orientation, and barrier‑supporting ingredients, it is suitable for many sensitive skin users. (But as always patch test recommended.)
• Normal to combination skin: Daily use for regular cleansing, especially for those looking for a gentle yet effective foam cleanser.
• Oily or congested skin: Reviews indicate it performs well in removing sebum and blocking debris/fine dust.
• Dry or very dry skin: While it’s formulated gently, some users with very dry or dehydrated skin may prefer even more hydrating or non‑foaming options, especially if foam cleansers leave a tight sensation. One review noted slight dryness over time.
