“Kyungsung Jawoon Facial Cleanser”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, hexylene glycol, peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl apple amino acids, sodium cocoyl glycinate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine
