Herietta Banana Milk Body Cleanser by Welcos Korean/Korea (Review)


(For my own record)

Buying Korean products online, never know what are the ingredients.  Korean skincare products very rarely list ingredients in English. Was surprised to see this bottle does have English listing. And that's where I regretted buying. Too bad, already close to finishing before I looked.

Luckily, not allergic to any skincare product ingredients. Quite hardy skin.

I have been using all kinds of different brands & products for many years from local shelves & ordering online (US/Korea).

Ordered this Banana Milk because all buyers' reviews said it smelled fantastically, "drinkably" banana.

Checked online before buying. Zero information on ingredients listing. Zero English reviews on using the product.

After using it for a while & then seeing that it does have English ingredients listing, I was dismayed to find it contains Methylisothiazolinone.

Also, petroleum-based Butylene Glycol. And Phenoxyethanol & Styrene/Acrylates copolymer (that is also found in Japanese bath/body cleansers/gels such as Shokubutsu).  Cocamide MEA & BHT.

In short, all the bad chemicals. Except Paraben. However, the Phenoxyethanol does the drying job quite well. This body cleanser is quite drying on the skin.  I wouldn't say very drying but it certainly isn't moisturizing.

Smells great at first. But as it's used, it starts smelling a bit off from half bottle onwards.

It's cheap for such a big pump bottle. 560g (ml is not stated).   I would say around 450 to 500ml.
