How it works
Snail secretion filtrate is named on the ingredient panel on this foaming cleanser. Snail Secretion Filtrate is the mucin a snail produces, filtered for cosmetic use, and it is the ingredient the Korean snail category is built on. It carries glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid, and it is used for hydration and a smoother-looking surface. On this panel it sits alongside myristic acid, lauric acid and beeswax. Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser.

Inside the formula
Inside the formula
Will this dry out my skin?
It is formulated to lift daily grime and makeup residue without leaving a stripped feeling for most users, though very dry skin may prefer using it once a day instead of twice.
Morning, night, or both?
Most routines use it both morning and night, following an oil or balm cleanser at night rather than relying on foam alone to remove makeup. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.
Does it help with breakouts?
It is a cosmetic cleanser rather than a treatment product, so pair it with your existing spot care routine rather than expecting the cleanser alone to address breakouts. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.
How much product do I need?
A coin-sized amount worked into a lather on damp skin is typical; more product does not clean better and can just feel harder to rinse. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.
Can sensitive skin use this daily?
Many sensitive-skin users tolerate a foaming cleanser fine, but if skin feels tight after rinsing, cutting back to once a day is a reasonable adjustment rather than pushing through it.

Ingredient list read from tonymoly.com on 30 August 2026.
48 of 59 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.
- 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 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.
- 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.
- lauramide dea surfactant
- Lauramide DEA is a coconut-derived foam booster. It thickens a cleanser and makes the lather denser.
- beeswax occlusive
- Beeswax is the wax bees build comb from. In a formula it thickens the oil phase and forms a breathable, water-resisting film, which is what makes a balm hold its shape.
- 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.
- 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.
- cocamidopropyl betaine surfactant
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a coconut-derived secondary surfactant. Its job is to boost foam and soften the harshness of the main cleanser rather than to clean on its own.
- 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.
- glycol distearate emollient
- A wax-like ester that thickens a cleanser and gives it a pearly opacity. It also leaves a conditioned feel behind after rinsing.
36 more explained
- polysorbate 20 emulsifier
- Polysorbate 20 is a solubiliser: it dissolves small amounts of oil or fragrance into a watery formula so nothing separates or floats.
- trihydroxystearin thickener
- A castor-derived wax used to thicken oils and stop pigments settling. It builds structure in an anhydrous formula without making it hard.
- peg-100 stearate emulsifier
- PEG-100 Stearate is a water-loving emulsifier almost always paired with glyceryl stearate. Together they form the standard cream base of the last fifty years.
- phenoxyethanol preservative
- Phenoxyethanol is the most widely used cosmetic preservative outside the paraben family. It keeps a water-containing formula from growing bacteria and mould, and is capped at one percent in most markets, so it always sits low on a list.
- 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.
- mica colorant
- Mica is a mineral ground into fine flakes. It scatters light, so it lightens a shade and gives the soft glow of a tinted or illuminating product.
- 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.
- citrus limon (lemon) peel oil fragrance
- Cold-pressed lemon peel oil. Citrus peel oils carry limonene and can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, which is why leave-on formulas use them sparingly.
- citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel oil fragrance component
- Sweet Orange Peel Oil is a citrus essential oil carrying limonene. It scents a formula, and limonene is one of the components EU labelling names separately.
- citrus aurantifolia (lime) oil fragrance component
- Lime oil, an essential oil pressed from the peel. It scents a formula strongly, and expressed citrus oils can make skin more sensitive to sun.
- 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.
- pinus sylvestris leaf oil fragrance component
- Scots Pine Leaf Oil is a conifer essential oil used to scent a formula.
- eucalyptus globulus leaf oil fragrance component
- Eucalyptus Leaf Oil is an essential oil carrying eucalyptol. It scents a formula sharply and gives a cooling sensation.
- tetrasodium edta chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- 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.
- snail secretion filtrate humectant
- Snail Secretion Filtrate is the mucin a snail produces, filtered for cosmetic use, and it is the ingredient the Korean snail category is built on. It carries glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid, and it is used for hydration and a smoother-looking surface.
- 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.
- tocopheryl acetate antioxidant
- Tocopheryl Acetate is a stable vitamin E ester that skin converts to tocopherol. It is used as an antioxidant and a light emollient and holds up better than plain vitamin E in a formula.
- 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.
- saccharomyces ferment 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.
- zanthoxylum piperitum fruit extract plant extract
- Zanthoxylum Piperitum is Korean pepper. Its fruit extract is used as a conditioning plant extract and is often paired with pulsatilla and usnea in Korean formulas.
- pulsatilla koreana extract plant extract
- Korean pasque flower extract, a native anemone relative. It is used as a conditioning plant extract, usually beside other Korean herbal extracts.
- nelumbo nucifera leaf extract plant extract
- Nelumbo Nucifera is the sacred lotus. Its leaf extract carries flavonoids and is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract.
- 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.
- artemisia vulgaris extract plant extract
- Common mugwort extract. It is the same genus as the Korean mugwort artemisia princeps and is used for the look of reddened, reactive skin.
- camellia sinensis leaf extract 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.
- centella asiatica extract plant extract
- Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid.
- propolis extract plant extract
- Propolis is the resin bees collect from tree buds and use to seal the hive. It is rich in flavonoids, carries a warm amber colour and scent, and is used for the look of dull, stressed skin. It is a bee product, so it is worth knowing about if you react to those.
- coptis chinensis root extract plant extract
- Chinese goldthread root, a traditional herbal ingredient carrying berberine. It is bright yellow and is used in formulas aimed at the look of congested skin.
- polyglutamic acid humectant
- Polyglutamic Acid comes from fermented soy and holds several times more water than hyaluronic acid for its weight. It forms a light film on the surface, so it is often layered with hyaluronic rather than replacing it.
- usnea barbata (lichen) extract plant extract
- Beard lichen extract, carrying usnic acid. It resists microbes, so formulas use it both as a plant extract and as part of a preservative system.
- colloidal gold colorant
- Gold in a formula is metallic gold beaten or milled into flakes so fine they stay suspended. It is inert, sits on the surface, and is there for the visible glint.
- rh-oligopeptide-1 peptide
- A short peptide produced in a recombinant human sequence, which is what the rh prefix records. It is used in formulas built around the look of firmness and recovery.
- iron oxide red 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.
- linalool fragrance component
- Linalool is a floral aromatic found in lavender, bergamot and coriander. It is one of the 26 fragrance components EU labelling requires to be declared by name.
- limonene fragrance component
- Limonene is the citrus-peel aromatic. It appears here because EU labelling requires 26 fragrance components to be named individually rather than hidden inside "fragrance", and it is one of them.

How to use
- Use morning and night as the cleansing step, following an oil or balm cleanser at night rather than using it alone to remove makeup. Work a coin-sized amount into a lather on damp skin for about 30 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water.
Worth knowing
- Very dry or sensitized skin may find a foaming cleanser too drying for twice-daily use and can scale back to once a day.
- Introduce any new product gradually rather than adding several new steps to a routine at once, so any reaction is easy to trace back to the right cause.
