How it works
The Pink Salt AHA BHA Cleansing Foam is a 120ml foam cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water. The exfoliant it is built around is Salicylic Acid, named fifteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Allantoin and Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract, so the exfoliant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Salicylic Acid 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, Salicylic Acid and all.
Key benefits
- Salicylic Acid, the exfoliant this foam cleanser is built around
- Niacinamide and Allantoin on the same list, actives
- Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract and Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract on the same list, plant extracts
- Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract and Gaultheria Procumbens (Wintergreen) Leaf Extract further down the same list
- Mineral Salts and Mannitol further down the same list
- Salicylic Acid named fifteenth on the manufacturer list printed on this page
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 Salicylic Acid and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market foam cleanser or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Salicylic Acid 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 Salicylic Acid?
Niacinamide, Allantoin and Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract. The order they are printed in on this foam cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Salicylic Acid sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract, Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract and Gaultheria Procumbens (Wintergreen) Leaf Extract.

Ingredient list read from inkeedecoder.com on 10 September 2026.
37 of 39 explained
- Water (Aqua) 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.
- Potassium Myristate surfactant
- Potassium Myristate is the soap made from myristic acid. It gives a cleanser a dense, creamy lather, and being a soap it works at alkaline pH.
- Potassium Laurate surfactant
- Potassium Laurate is the potassium soap of lauric acid, made by neutralising the fatty acid with potassium hydroxide. It is a foaming cleansing surfactant used in soap based cleansers.
- Stearic Acid fatty acid
- Stearic Acid is a saturated fatty acid from plant fats, and one of the three lipid classes skin's own barrier is built from. In a formula it thickens, stabilises the emulsion and can be turned into a soap-style cleanser by adding a base.
- 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.
- 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.
- Niacinamide active
- Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
- 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.
- Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract (9,800Ppm) plant extract
- Roselle hibiscus extract, deep red from anthocyanins and naturally acidic. It carries plant acids and is used as an antioxidant extract.
- Coco-Betaine surfactant
- Coco-Betaine is a coconut-derived secondary surfactant used to build foam and make a cleanser milder.
- Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate emulsifier
- Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate is a plant-derived emulsifier used to hold oil and water together in creams and lotions.
25 more explained
- Salicylic Acid (5,000Ppm) exfoliant
- Salicylic Acid is a BHA, and the only common exfoliant that is oil soluble, so it can work inside a pore rather than only on the surface. It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin.
- Glyceryl Stearate emulsifier
- Glyceryl Stearate is glycerin joined to stearic acid, and one of the most used emulsifiers in skincare. It holds oil and water together and thickens the result, and it softens skin at the same time.
- 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.
- Mannitol humectant
- Mannitol is a sugar alcohol used as a humectant and antioxidant. It hydrates and helps stabilise the rest of the formula against oxidation.
- Polyquaternium-67 film former
- Polyquaternium-67 is a positively charged polymer that clings to skin and hair, leaving a conditioning film that survives rinsing.
- Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate surfactant
- An amino-acid surfactant made from coconut fatty acids and alanine. It foams less aggressively than a sulfate and rinses without the tight feeling.
- Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract plant extract
- Prickly pear fruit extract. The fruit carries betalain pigments and water-holding sugars, and it colours a formula pink.
- Glyceryl Stearate Citrate emulsifier
- Glyceryl Stearate Citrate is a mild, citrate-modified emulsifier. It holds oil and water together and is chosen for formulas aimed at reactive skin.
- Microcrystalline Cellulose absorbent
- Microcrystalline Cellulose is purified cellulose ground fine. It thickens, holds powders in suspension and gives a soft, matte feel.
- 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.
- Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract plant extract
- Gardenia Fruit Extract is the traditional East Asian yellow dye plant. In skincare it is used as an antioxidant extract, and it can tint a formula.
- Sucrose humectant
- Sucrose is table sugar, used here as a humectant. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and, in a scrub, doubles as the physical grain.
- Dextrin thickener
- Dextrin is a starch fragment used to thicken and to give a formula a light, powdery finish. It is also a common carrier for powdered extracts.
- Zea Mays (Corn) Starch absorbent
- Corn Starch absorbs oil and moisture and gives a soft, matte finish. It also thickens a formula.
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose thickener
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is modified plant cellulose. It thickens water, forms a film, and stabilises foam, and it is the same material used to make capsule shells.
- Arachidic Acid fatty acid
- Arachidic Acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid used to thicken and stabilise a formula.
- Iron Oxides (Ci 77491) 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.
- Sodium Acetate pH adjuster
- The sodium salt of acetic acid. Paired with the acid itself it buffers a formula, holding the pH steady as other ingredients shift it.
- Oleic Acid fatty acid
- Oleic Acid is the main fatty acid in olive and many nut oils. It is a rich emollient that softens skin and can feel heavy on skin prone to congestion.
- Mineral Salts (10Ppm) mineral
- Mineral Salts is a collective declaration for the dissolved minerals in a water source such as sea water or thermal water. It describes the water rather than an added active.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Panthenol humectant
- Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
- Gaultheria Procumbens (Wintergreen) Leaf Extract (100Ppb) plant extract
- Wintergreen leaf extract. The plant naturally carries methyl salicylate, which is where its sharp minty scent comes from.
- Citric Acid (100Ppb) pH adjuster
- Citric Acid is used in tiny amounts to bring a formula to the pH its actives need, not as an exfoliant at that level. It is an AHA, so at much higher concentrations it can also exfoliate.
- Allantoin active
- 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.
