How it works
Myristic Acid leads the ingredient panel on this cleanser. Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser. On this panel it sits alongside Lauric Acid, Palmitic Acid and Arachidic 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.
Key benefits
- Myristic Acid named on this product's own ingredient panel, near the top of it
- Lauric Acid on the same panel, the formula's fatty acid
- Palmitic Acid on the same panel, the formula's fatty acid
- 120 ml to a unit
- Korean GS1 barcode matched against a Korea sourcing supplier's record for this item
Inside the formula
Inside the formula
Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?
This is the exact Korean-market formula, not a US-shelf reformulation. Numbuzin sells a separate reformulation on some US shelves, and this listing is not that version. The Korean-market batch coding and packaging travel with it, which is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.
Where does this formula come from?
It comes from the Korean-market catalog rather than a US-shelf reformulation, and the packaging carries the same Korean-market batch coding a shopper would find on the box in Korea. That sourcing is checked on this row before the page is written, not assumed from the product name. It is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.
Can I use this alongside other actives in my routine?
Yes. Glycerin is the lead active here, and it is formulated to sit alongside the rest of a routine rather than replace it. Introduce any new step on its own for the first week or two before adding it next to another strong active, so it is easy to tell which product is responsible for any change. Once it is settled into the routine, it layers the way any other cream in a Korean routine does.
What does Myristic Acid do in this formula?

21 of 21 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.
- 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.
- PEG-8 humectant
- PEG-8 is a short polyethylene glycol chain. It holds water, keeps a formula fluid, and dissolves ingredients water alone cannot.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Coco-Glucoside surfactant
- Coco-Glucoside is a mild sugar-derived surfactant used in gentle cleansers, usually with a second surfactant to build foam.
- 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.
- Fragrance(Parfum) 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.
9 more explained
- Polyquaternium-7 film former
- Polyquaternium-7 is a positively charged polymer, so it clings to hair and skin, which carry a slight negative charge. It conditions and reduces static.
- Arachidic Acid fatty acid
- Arachidic Acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid used to thicken and stabilise a formula.
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate surfactant
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is a coconut-derived surfactant that gives a dense, creamy foam while staying mild. It is the usual choice in syndet cleansing bars.
- Sodium Phytate chelator
- Sodium Phytate is a rice-derived chelator used in place of EDTA. It ties up trace metals so the formula stays stable and its colour and scent hold.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sodium Benzoate preservative
- Sodium Benzoate is a mild preservative that works only in acidic formulas. It is usually paired with potassium sorbate, and the pair is the standard choice where a brand wants no phenoxyethanol.
- Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract surfactant
- Soapbark extract, rich in natural saponins. Saponins foam in water, which is why this is used as a plant-derived cleansing agent rather than as a botanical.
- 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.
