Key actives
8Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine. It is the entry this foam cleanser is named after, and the list carries it.
12Salicylic Acidexfoliant
It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin. The panel names it twelfth on this foam cleanser's list, beside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
21Lactobacillus Fermentferment
Lactobacillus Ferment is the liquid left after lactobacillus bacteria have fermented a plant or milk substrate. It carries the small molecules the fermentation produced, including lactic acid and amino acids, and is used for the look of dull, uneven skin. The panel names it twenty-first on this foam cleanser's list, beside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
26Saccharomyces Fermentferment
Saccharomyces Ferment is a brewer's yeast ferment. It supplies amino acids, sugars and B vitamins and is used as a conditioning, hydrating ferment. It is named twenty-sixth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
31Lactobacillus Ferment Lysateferment
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate is the ferment with the bacterial cells broken open, so their contents are in the formula too. It is a conditioning ferment used in barrier-focused products. It is named thirty-first on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.

Where each key active sits on the declared ingredient list, by entry number. Position is proportion: the further forward, the larger its share.
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 Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market foam cleanser or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Camellia Sinensis Leaf 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 Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract?
Salicylic Acid, Lactobacillus Ferment and Saccharomyces Ferment. The order they are printed in on this foam cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Extract and Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract.

34 of 35 explained
- Purified 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.
- Glycerine 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.
- Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate surfactant
- An amino-acid surfactant built from coconut fatty acids and glycine. Amino-acid surfactants clean at a pH close to the pH of skin itself, which is why low-pH Korean cleansers are built on them.
- Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate surfactant
- An amino acid surfactant made from coconut fatty acids and glutamic acid. It cleanses at a mildly acidic pH and is among the gentler foaming surfactants.
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate surfactant
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate is a mild coconut-derived surfactant known for a rich, creamy lather that rinses without tightness.
- 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.
- Citric Acid 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.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (19,586ppm) plant extract
- Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine.
- 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.
- 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.
- Salicylic Acid 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.
22 more explained
- Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Extract plant extract
- Mandarin peel extract, carrying citrus flavonoids and aromatic compounds. It is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cupressus Sempervirens Leaf/Stem Extract plant extract
- Italian cypress leaf and stem extract. The plant carries tannins and aromatic terpenes, so the extract has an astringent, resinous character.
- Hedera Helix (Ivy) 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.
- Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil fragrance component
- Bergamot Fruit Oil is a citrus essential oil and the top note of eau de cologne. It scents a formula; citrus oils are the aromatic class most likely to bother reactive skin.
- Litsea Cubeba Fruit Oil fragrance
- May chang oil, a bright lemon-scented essential oil pressed from a small Asian tree. Its scent comes mostly from citral, the same aromatic that gives lemongrass its character.
- Ribes Nigrum Leaf Extract plant extract
- Blackcurrant leaf extract, carrying flavonoids and tannins. It is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract.
- Lactobacillus Ferment (109ppm) ferment
- Lactobacillus Ferment is the liquid left after lactobacillus bacteria have fermented a plant or milk substrate. It carries the small molecules the fermentation produced, including lactic acid and amino acids, and is used for the look of dull, uneven skin.
- Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract plant extract
- Polygonum Cuspidatum is Japanese knotweed, the main commercial source of resveratrol. Its root extract is used as an antioxidant plant extract.
- Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract plant extract
- Scutellaria Baicalensis is Chinese skullcap. Its root extract carries baicalin, a well studied plant antioxidant, and it is used for the look of redness.
- Theobroma Cacao Seed Extract plant extract
- Cocoa Extract carries polyphenols and a little caffeine. It is used as an antioxidant plant extract and gives a faint warm tint.
- Saccharomyces Ferment (12ppm) ferment
- Saccharomyces Ferment is a brewer's yeast ferment. It supplies amino acids, sugars and B vitamins and is used as a conditioning, hydrating ferment.
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract plant extract
- Licorice Root Extract carries glabridin and liquiritin. It is one of the classic plant ingredients used for the look of uneven tone and redness, and it appears in almost every brightening formula that avoids synthetic actives.
- 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.
- Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract plant extract
- Chamomile Flower Extract is one of the oldest ingredients in skincare, carrying bisabolol and chamazulene. It is used for the look of redness in formulas for reactive skin.
- Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract plant extract
- Rosemary Leaf Extract carries rosmarinic and carnosic acids, both effective antioxidants. It is often there to keep the oils in a formula from going rancid.
- Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate ferment
- Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate is the ferment with the bacterial cells broken open, so their contents are in the formula too. It is a conditioning ferment used in barrier-focused products.
- Mentha Suaveolens Leaf Extract plant extract
- Round-leaved mint leaf extract, one of the mild mints. It is used as a conditioning extract and carries a light mint scent.
- Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion) Leaf Extract plant extract
- Dandelion leaf extract, carrying flavonoids, minerals and plant acids. It is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract.
- Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Extract plant extract
- Thyme extract, carrying the phenols thymol and carvacrol. It is used as an antioxidant plant extract and resists microbes.
- 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.

How it works
The Matcha Biome Amino Acne Cleansing Foam is a 150ml 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 Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, named eighth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Salicylic Acid, Lactobacillus Ferment and Saccharomyces Ferment, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Camellia Sinensis Leaf 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 Heimish sells in Korea, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and all.
How to use
- Wet the face and hands, then work a small amount into a lather in the palms before it touches the skin.
- Massage it over the face for around thirty seconds, spending the time on the nose and jawline.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and go into your toner while the face is still damp.
- Do not use hot water or scrub at the skin, since heat and friction are what leave a face feeling tight.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this foam cleanser on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract on the list.
- Citric Acid and Salicylic Acid on this list makes this foam cleanser an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.
