How it works
A clay mask that tightens as it dries is doing its job on your pores and against your skin barrier at the same time, and most people stop using them because of that second effect. This one puts glycerin second on the list, ahead of the kaolin at three and the hectorite at seven, so the humectant is working before the clay ever starts pulling. Red bean, Phaseolus Angularis, shows up twice: as a seed powder for physical texture and again as an extract, which is the brand's hanbang habit of using one ingredient for two different jobs. Rinse it before it fully hardens and the oil control stays without the tightness.
Key benefits
- Glycerin is second on the list, ahead of the clay, so the mask hydrates before it pulls oil
- Kaolin at three and hectorite at seven are two different clay chemistries working together, not one clay doing double duty
- Red bean appears twice, as a seed powder for texture and an extract further down, the brand's habit of a single ingredient doing two jobs
- Visible ground particles give a genuine light polish on rinse-off, not a marketing description of one
- No fragrance, no parfum, no essential oil on the list
- Cetyl alcohol and the olivate emulsifiers keep the clay from drying to a hard, cracking crust
Inside the formula
Inside the formula
Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask
What does the Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Pore Mask do?
It is a wash-off clay mask for oil control and the look of congested pores. Kaolin and hectorite, two different clay types, sit at positions three and seven, and ground red bean seed powder gives it a genuine light physical texture on rinse-off. Glycerin ahead of both clays keeps it from leaving skin as tight as a plain clay mask usually does.
How often should I use a clay mask like this?
Once or twice a week is the usual starting point for a kaolin and hectorite blend. Daily use of any clay mask tends to over-dry skin regardless of the humectants built in, so treat this as a weekly reset rather than a daily step.
Will it dry out my skin?
Less than a single-clay mask at a higher concentration, because glycerin sits second on the list ahead of both clays. It will still read as tightening while it sets, which is the clay pulling oil rather than a sign of irritation. Rinse before it fully hardens if your skin runs dry or sensitive.
Can I spot-treat with this instead of using it on the full face?
Yes, and it is a common way to use a mud mask: apply to the T-zone or other oily areas only, and skip it on drier cheek or eye areas. The formula does not change, only where you put it.
How does this compare to buying Beauty of Joseon from a US retailer?
For Beauty of Joseon, verification is by sourcing chain. Your unit arrives with its Korean-market barcode, 8809738316986, and batch code intact, and we publish where we buy. The brand has retired its QR scan and is phasing out its authenticity seal, so the box itself is the record.
Not on the ingredient list below: fragrance or parfum, denatured or SD alcohol, essential oils, parabens, sulfate surfactants and mineral oil or petrolatum.

Ingredient list read from incidecoder.com on 30 August 2026.
24 of 24 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.
- 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.
- Kaolin absorbent
- Kaolin is white clay, the mildest of the cosmetic clays. It absorbs oil and lifts loose debris from the surface without stripping, which is why it is the clay used on drier skin.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride emollient
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is the light fraction of coconut oil, with the heavy parts removed. It is the workhorse emollient of modern formulas: it softens skin, dissolves oil-soluble actives and absorbs without the greasy weight of a whole plant oil.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Phaseolus Angularis Seed Powder absorbent
- Adzuki bean ground to a powder. In a formula it is the physical grain of a scrub and an absorbent that takes up a little oil.
- Hectorite thickener
- Hectorite is a clay mineral used to thicken both water and oil phases. It keeps pigments suspended so a formula does not separate in the bottle.
- Cetyl Alcohol fatty alcohol
- Cetyl Alcohol is a waxy fatty alcohol from coconut or palm, unrelated to drying ethanol. It thickens creams, stabilises the emulsion and leaves skin feeling softer.
- Glyceryl Stearate SE emulsifier
- Glyceryl Stearate SE is the self-emulsifying grade, supplied with a little soap already built in so it can hold an emulsion with less help. It thickens and softens like the plain form.
- Cetearyl Olivate emulsifier
- Cetearyl Olivate is the water-loving half of the olive-derived emulsifier pair. With sorbitan olivate it builds emulsions whose lipid profile is close to skin's own.
- Sorbitan Olivate emulsifier
- Sorbitan Olivate is an olive-derived emulsifier, the oil-loving half of the pair sold as Olivem. It holds oil into water and leaves a light, non-waxy feel.
- Phaseolus Angularis Seed Extract plant extract
- Adzuki bean seed extract, the pat of Korean home skincare. It carries saponins and starches and is used as a conditioning, mildly cleansing extract.
12 more explained
- Ultramarines colorant
- Ultramarines are blue to violet mineral pigments. In skincare they are used in tiny amounts to shift a yellow-looking base back toward neutral.
- Pyrus Communis Fruit Extract plant extract
- Pear Fruit Extract carries fruit sugars and mild fruit acids. It is used as a hydrating extract with a very light smoothing effect on the surface.
- 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.
- Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer thickener
- This is a pre-neutralised polymer thickener that gels on contact with water and stabilises an emulsion without heat.
- Hedera Helix Leaf/Stem Extract plant extract
- Ivy Leaf and Stem Extract carries saponins, plant compounds that foam slightly in water. It is used in body and eye formulas for the look of puffiness.
- Polyisobutene film former
- Polyisobutene is a synthetic polymer that forms a flexible, water-resistant film. It gives gloss and holds a formula in place, which is why it appears in lip products and long-wear textures.
- Fragaria Chiloensis Fruit Extract plant extract
- Beach strawberry fruit extract. It carries fruit acids, vitamin C and anthocyanins and is used as an antioxidant conditioning extract.
- Pyrus Malus Leaf Extract plant extract
- Apple leaf extract rather than fruit extract. The leaf carries phloridzin and other polyphenols instead of the fruit acids, so it is used as an antioxidant botanical.
- Iron Oxide colorant
- Iron Oxides are mineral pigments in red, yellow and black, and the three are blended to make every skin-tone shade in a tinted product. They are inert and sit on the surface.
- Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside surfactant
- Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is a sugar-derived cleansing surfactant. It foams modestly and is mild enough for low-pH cleansers built for reactive skin.
- Sorbitan Oleate emulsifier
- Sorbitan Oleate is an emulsifier for water-in-oil formulas. It keeps a rich cream or a cleansing oil from separating.
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane silicone
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane is a coating applied to mineral powders so they disperse evenly and resist water rather than clumping.

How to use
- After cleansing, on dry skin, one to two times a week. Not a daily step: this is a clay treatment, not a moisturizer.
- Spread an even layer over oily or congested areas, thicker on the T-zone if you are targeting it specifically.
- Leave for eight to ten minutes, and rinse before it fully hardens: a half-set clay mask lifts oil without the tightness a fully dried one leaves behind.
- Follow immediately with toner and moisturizer. A clay mask is the one step in a routine that leaves skin genuinely thirsty afterward.
Worth knowing
- This is a clay mask: it will read as tightening as it sets, which is the clay doing its job, not a sign to leave it on longer.
- Ultramarines and iron oxide are cosmetic colorants giving the mask its grey-blue tone; they are not active ingredients.
- Rinse before the mask fully hardens on dry or sensitive skin. A fully set clay mask pulls harder than a half-set one.
