How it works
The Deep Clean Bubble Foam is a 200ml product. The fatty acid it is built around is Lauric Acid, named fourth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Myristic Acid and Palmitic Acid, so the fatty acid is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Lauric Acid stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the product format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the product A'PIEU sells in Korea, Lauric Acid and all.

Inside the formula
Inside the formula
Is this the Korean-market product or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Lauric Acid and all. We match this product to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this product contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this product is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Lauric Acid?
Myristic Acid and Palmitic Acid. The order they are printed in on this product's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Lauric Acid sits relative to them. Lauric Acid itself is named fourth on it.
Not on the ingredient list below: denatured or SD alcohol, essential oils, silicones, parabens, sulfate surfactants, mineral oil or petrolatum and added color.
Full INCI (22): Water, Propylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, Lauric Acid, Myristic Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Lauryl Hydroxysultaine, Potassium Cocoate, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Sodium Chloride, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Fragrance, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Capric Acid, Palmitic Acid, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Bicarbonate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Butylene Glycol

21 of 22 explained
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Propylene Glycol humectant
- Propylene Glycol is a small glycol used as a humectant and solvent. It hydrates and helps actives dissolve; newer formulas often swap it for propanediol, which does the same job with a lighter feel.
- Dipropylene Glycol humectant
- Dipropylene Glycol is a glycol used as a solvent and a light humectant. Its main job is keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid rather than adding hydration of its own.
- Lauric Acid fatty acid
- Lauric Acid is the coconut fatty acid that gives soap-style cleansers their dense foam. It is not well suited to blemish-prone skin at high levels.
- Myristic Acid fatty acid
- Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser.
- Potassium Hydroxide pH adjuster
- Potassium Hydroxide is a strong base used in traces to raise a formula to its target pH. In a soap-style cleanser it also converts fatty acids into the surfactant that does the cleansing.
- Lauryl Hydroxysultaine surfactant
- Lauryl Hydroxysultaine is a mild secondary surfactant that keeps foaming even in hard water and at low pH.
- Potassium Cocoate surfactant
- Potassium Cocoate is coconut oil turned into soap. It cleanses strongly and sits at a high pH, which is what gives a traditional soap-style cleanser its squeaky finish.
- Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate surfactant
- Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate is a coconut-and-glycine surfactant used in low-pH cleansers. It foams well and rinses without the squeaky tightness a soap leaves.
- Sodium Chloride thickener
- Sodium Chloride is salt. In a cleanser it thickens the liquid; in a mask or essence it balances the mineral content of the water phase. It has no active role.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Phenoxyethanol preservative
- Phenoxyethanol is the most widely used cosmetic preservative outside the paraben family. It keeps a water-containing formula from growing bacteria and mould, and is capped at one percent in most markets, so it always sits low on a list.
9 more explained
- Chlorphenesin preservative
- A preservative effective against bacteria, yeast and mould across a wide pH range, which is why it appears where a single milder preservative cannot cover the formula.
- Fragrance fragrance
- Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.
- Caprylyl Glycol preservative booster
- Caprylyl Glycol is a glycol that conditions skin and, more importantly, strengthens a preservative system so less of the traditional preservative is needed. It appears in most modern formulas built without parabens.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- Palmitic Acid fatty acid
- Palmitic Acid is a saturated fatty acid present in skin's own lipids. It thickens a formula, stabilises the emulsion and softens skin.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Sodium Bicarbonate pH adjuster
- Baking soda. In a formula it raises pH, and in a fizzing product it is the half that meets an acid and releases carbon dioxide.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine surfactant
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a coconut-derived secondary surfactant. Its job is to boost foam and soften the harshness of the main cleanser rather than to clean on its own.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.

How to use
- Use this cleansing oil PM (or AM if wearing sunscreen the night before), as the first cleanser in a double cleanse. Pat or smooth it on rather than rubbing, and give it a moment to settle before layering the next step.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before applying to the face, as with any new skincare formula.
- Introduce a new active gradually into an existing routine rather than adding several new products at once.
