beplain Mung Bean pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam 160ml
beplain puts glycerin first and builds the lather on amino acid surfactants, sodium cocoyl glycinate and sodium lauroyl glutamate rather than saponified fat, so this 160 ml foam rinses without the tight finish a soap leaves. Mung bean appears twice on the list. Korean-market formula.

Key actives
Vigna Radiata Seed Extractplant extract
Mung bean seed extract, the nokdu of Korean cleansing powders. It carries starches, proteins and saponins and is used as a conditioning, mildly cleansing extract. It is the entry this foam cleanser is named after, and the list carries it.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. The panel names it twenty-second on this foam cleanser's list, beside Vigna Radiata Seed Extract.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. It is named thirty-first on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Vigna Radiata Seed Extract.
Ceramide NPbarrier lipid
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. It is named thirty-fifth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Vigna Radiata Seed Extract.
Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extractplant extract
Melia Azadirachta is neem. Its leaf and flower extracts are long-standing Ayurvedic ingredients, and Korean formulas use them in products aimed at the look of congested, blemish-prone skin. It is named seventeenth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Vigna Radiata Seed Extract.
How to use
- Wet your face, dispense a small amount into your palms or a foaming net, work it into a light lather, and massage over damp skin morning and night. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow with a toner while skin is still a little damp.
Where does this foam cleanser go in my routine?
As your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water. Nothing goes under it: this foam cleanser is the step everything else in the routine lands on top of. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Vigna Radiata Seed Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market foam cleanser or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Vigna Radiata Seed Extract and all. We match this foam cleanser to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Vigna Radiata Seed Extract?
Allantoin, Tocopherol and Ceramide NP. The order they are printed in on this foam cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Vigna Radiata Seed Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract and Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract.

How it works
The Mung Bean pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam is a 160ml foam cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water. The plant extract it is built around is Vigna Radiata Seed Extract, named eleventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Tocopherol and Ceramide NP, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Vigna Radiata Seed Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the foam cleanser format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the foam cleanser beplain sells in Korea, Vigna Radiata Seed Extract and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this foam cleanser on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Vigna Radiata Seed Extract on the list.
- Introduce this foam cleanser on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Vigna Radiata Seed Extract rather than to three changes at once.

Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
Wilma Bergfeld, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization.
