MIXSOON BEAN CLEANSING OIL 195ML

100% Genuine (Adilsons sourcing policy) · FA-Conditional (rinse-off, so lower practical risk — see Section 30B) · Pregnancy-Safe* (no pregnancy-contraindicated ingredients found in the declared INCI) · Not Fragrance-Free (contains Parfum).

*Self-assessed by Adilsons against the declared INCI for retinoids, salicylic acid above 2%, hydroquinone, and chemical UV filters — none are present. This is not a medical clearance; consult your own healthcare provider if pregnant or nursing.

3 pros: dissolves stubborn Korean-sunscreen film in one pass; emulsifies fully so nothing feels left behind; fermented-extract afterfeel reported as non-tight by reviewers. 2 caveats: contains fragrance, so it is not suitable for a strictly fragrance-free routine; the pump bottle has been reported to leak in transit, so pack it upright and bagged if traveling.

In Mauritius heat, the shine you feel by midday is sebum and sweat doing their job, not dirt — over-washing (more than twice daily) strips the skin's acid mantle (target pH 4.5-5.5) and triggers compensatory sebum overproduction, the exact oiliness you were trying to fix.

This product breaks that cycle at the first cleanse step specifically: an oil cleanser dissolves sunscreen and sebum through like-dissolves-like chemistry rather than surfactant stripping, so pairing it with a gentle second cleanse (see Section 15) avoids the double-alkaline hit that a single harsh foam-only routine causes.

Step 1 (When): PM, or any time sunscreen/makeup needs removing. Step 2 (How much): 2-3 pumps onto completely dry hands. Step 3 (How): Massage onto a dry face for 30-60 seconds, add a small splash of water to emulsify to a milky texture, massage a little longer, then rinse thoroughly.

Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

1. This oil cleanser is generally not needed in the AM unless a heavy overnight balm/sleeping mask needs removing. 2. Gentle foam cleanser (e.g. rinse or skip if skin isn't oily on waking). 3. Toner. 4. Serum. 5. Moisturizer. 6. SPF50+ PA++++.

In Mauritius' humid mornings, humectants (hyaluronic acid, glycerin) draw water from the humid air itself rather than from deeper skin layers, so a lighter AM routine performs well without this cleansing oil most days.

1. MIXSOON Bean Cleansing Oil (first cleanse — sunscreen/makeup/sebum removal). 2. Water-based foam cleanser (second cleanse). 3. Toner. 4. Essence/serum as needed. 5. Moisturizer. 6. Occlusive seal if dry or in AC overnight.

This product is not an active and has no skin-cycling lane — it is a foundational step every double-cleanse night, independent of whichever active lane (retinoid/acid/Vitamin C) you run elsewhere in the routine.

Technique: massage onto completely dry skin and dry hands first — water added too early prevents the oil from properly dissolving sunscreen film. Once the oil has massaged in for 30-60 seconds, add a small amount of water and continue massaging until the texture turns milky, then rinse with lukewarm water.

Required skin state: dry, both skin and hands, at the start of application — this is essential for oil cleansers to work, not optional technique preference.

Hands deliver 100% of product. Cotton pads absorb approximately 30-40%. Use hands for this step.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Global rules: viscosity ladder runs thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals. Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s, serum layers 30-60s, before sunscreen 10-15 minutes if going outdoors. Amount defaults: toner/essence 5-8 drops, serum 2-3 drops or 1 pump, eye product ½ rice-grain per eye, gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas, occlusive seal rice-grain to pea-size, sunscreen 2-finger rule for face. Hydrators sit best on damp skin, retinoids on fully dry skin, exfoliating acids on dry or lightly damp skin, one lane at a time. If the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

AM Maximum Stack: 1. Rinse/gentle cleanse (optional). 2. pH-prep toner (optional). 3. Hydrating toner layers (1-3, optional). 4. Essence (optional). 5. Mist (optional). 6. Booster/soothing serum (optional). 7. Antioxidant lane (choose one). 8. Pigment support lane (choose one). 9. Hydration serum lane. 10. Oil-control/sebum lane (choose one). 11. Peptide/repair lane. 12. Eye serum/cream. 13. Moisturizer. 14. Optional sealing layer (if dry/AC). 15. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable). 16. Lip SPF (optional). In AM, prioritize comfort and SPF adherence over stacking — in high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM Maximum Stack: 1. Micellar pre-cleanse (optional). 2. Oil Cleanser/Balm — this product's slot, if SPF/makeup was worn (massage dry, emulsify with water, rinse, proceed immediately). 3. Water cleanser (second cleanse). 4. pH-prep toner. 5. Hydrating toner layers. 6. Essence. 7. Soothing/barrier serum. 8. Anchor active product (if running one). 9. Targeted serum (only if non-conflicting). 10. Moisturizer. 11. Sleeping mask (optional). 12. Occlusive seal (optional). 13. Spot treatment (as needed). 14. Lip sleeping mask (optional). Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep "one lane" per night.

One-lane rule: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure, default to the safest lane — barrier/hydration — and reduce layers.

Tier: liquid oil, the thinnest of the oil-phase products — applied before any water-based cleanser in the double-cleanse sequence, never after.

Layering rule: this product is unique in the routine in that it goes on completely dry skin first, before any water-phase product — the opposite order of a normal thin-to-thick layering sequence, because its job (dissolving sunscreen/sebum) requires an anhydrous start.

Phase compatibility: oil-phase at application, transitions to an emulsion-phase once water is added — this dual behavior is what makes it rinse clean instead of leaving a film like a straight facial oil would.

Before starting this product, your routine must already include a water-based second cleanser (foam, gel, or bar) — using an oil cleanser alone leaves an emulsifier residue on skin that a toner cannot fully address.

Incomplete sunscreen removal: water-only cleansing leaves oil-soluble chemical UV filters on skin overnight, which some research links to clogged pores over time — an oil-based first cleanse physically dissolves these filters rather than relying on surfactants alone.

Secondary benefit: the fermented soybean/pomegranate/barley/pear filtrates in the formula are marketed as leaving skin feeling hydrated post-cleanse rather than stripped, consistent with the "not tight" after-feel reported in reviews.

What this product cannot do: it cannot exfoliate, treat acne, brighten hyperpigmentation, or replace a water-based second cleanser — it is a mechanical dissolving step only.

Primary pick — second cleanse: MIXSOON Centella Cleansing Foam 150ml — same brand, same fermented/soothing positioning, removes the emulsifier residue this oil leaves behind. Use PM immediately after emulsifying and rinsing this product.

Alternative 1: MIXSOON Deep Foaming Rice Bar 100g — a bar-format second cleanse from the same brand for anyone who prefers solid formats.

Alternative 2: COSRX Low pH Niacinamide Micellar Cleansing Water 400ml — a no-rinse micellar pre-step for stubborn waterproof makeup before this oil, on heavy-makeup days.

Alternative 3: MIXSOON Centella Asiatica Toner 150ml — a fragrance-free, four-ingredient toner to follow the double-cleanse, resetting pH after both cleansing steps.

Pilling pairs: not applicable — this is a rinse-off product with nothing left on skin to pill against later layers.

MYTH: "Oil cleansers make oily skin oilier." REALITY: oil dissolves oil-soluble impurities (sebum, sunscreen) and then rinses away completely when emulsified with water — it does not leave a residual oil film the way a facial oil left on skin would.

MYTH: "If my cleanser doesn't foam or feel 'squeaky clean,' it isn't working." REALITY: squeaky-clean is a sign of alkaline over-stripping, not effective cleansing — a properly emulsified oil cleanser rinses to a soft, non-tight finish, which is the correct endpoint.

Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region; hard water can leave a calcium-stearate film after cleansing that causes tightness. Since this product's own emulsifier is designed to rinse fully clean, follow with a pH-adjusting toner (see Section 15) to counteract any regional hard-water residue from the rinse step itself.

*Evidence for the specific ferment filtrates' skin-conditioning benefit at this product's concentration is brand-marketing-derived, not from an independently published clinical trial found in this pass.

Full INCI: Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate, Triethylhexanoin, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Fragrance (Parfum), Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Water (Aqua), [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Propanediol, Glycerin, Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract, Lactobacillus/Punica Granatum Fruit Ferment Extract, Saccharomyces/Barley Seed Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus/Pear Juice Ferment Filtrate.

*The four ferment filtrates sit below the estimated 1% line, suggesting a trace/supportive concentration. Their inclusion may be primarily for marketing positioning ("fermented Bean line") rather than a clinically meaningful skin-conditioning dose.

Preservative system: Caprylyl Glycol and Ethylhexylglycerin function as a paraben-free preservative-booster pair, common in modern K-beauty formulas.

Fragrance status: Synthetic Fragrance (Parfum) — undifferentiated in the declared INCI.

Scent: described by reviewers as noticeable/floral-adjacent; not a "no scent" product despite the brand's minimalist positioning elsewhere.

Intensity: approximately 2-3 out of 5; dissipates within 1-5 minutes of rinsing per review reports.

EU 26 allergen screen: none of the 26 named allergens (e.g. Linalool, Limonene, Citral) appear as separately declared INCI entries in any source found this pass — but "Fragrance (Parfum)" itself is undifferentiated, so undisclosed allergens cannot be ruled out.

*Based on brand-declared INCI. The term "Fragrance" or "Parfum" in the INCI list may contain undisclosed allergens. Patch test advised for sensitive individuals.

Alcohol disclosure: Alcohol-Free — no drying alcohol (Alcohol Denat, SD Alcohol) appears in the declared INCI.

Halal:* Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan:* Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No animal-derived ingredients detected. This is NOT a formal vegan certification by The Vegan Society or equivalent body.

Cruelty-Free:* Brand-stated policy. Not independently certified by Leaping Bunny, PETA, or equivalent third-party audit. MIXSOON's mainland-China retail distribution status was not independently confirmed in this pass, so the standard China-retail caveat is noted rather than resolved.

Microplastic-Free: Yes — no polyethylene, nylon, or acrylate microbeads detected in the declared INCI.

MFDS classification: General Cosmetic — no functional-cosmetic government testing applies to a cleanser category in Korea.

Evidence confidence: Medium — the oil-dissolves-oil cleansing mechanism is well-established cosmetic chemistry; the specific ferment-filtrate skin-conditioning claims are Marketing-Only*.

*Marketing-Only: no independently published clinical trial data for the fermented soybean/pomegranate/barley/pear filtrates at this product's concentration was found in this pass.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Conditional. The oil phase (Soybean Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil) contains long-chain fatty acids some community trackers flag for leave-on use, but this is a rinse-off product with a short, deliberately-emulsified contact time — practically lower risk than the same oils in a leave-on facial oil, though not a clean FA-Safe pass either.

Assessment: None — this product is rinsed off before any other product is applied, so it cannot pill against subsequent layers.

Color baseline: pale golden oil; a marked darkening or rancid smell signals oxidation of the plant-oil base — discard if either occurs.

Storage: keep away from direct bathroom-window sun exposure and prolonged heat; Mauritius bathroom humidity does not meaningfully affect an anhydrous oil formula the way it can a water-based product, but heat still accelerates oil oxidation.

Spoilage signs: rancid smell, separation that doesn't remix with shaking, or a color shift toward brown. When in doubt, discard.

Patch test on the inner forearm (24h), then behind the ear (24h), before full facial use — this matters more than usual here given the undisclosed Fragrance/Parfum component.

If adverse reaction: STOP ALL ACTIVES. For 72 hours, use ONLY gentle cleanser + plain moisturizer + mineral SPF. NO acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72h, reintroduce ONE product per 14 days.

Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, breathing difficulty — seek emergency care.

1. Applying to wet skin/hands first — prevents proper emulsification and reduces cleansing power. 2. Skipping the second (water-based) cleanse — leaves emulsifier residue. 3. Using too little product and having to re-massage repeatedly, which wastes product without improving results. 4. Assuming oil cleansing worsens oily skin — it does not. 5. Not massaging long enough before adding water — 30-60 seconds of dry massage is what actually dissolves sunscreen film.

Overuse threshold: using this as a stand-alone daily face wash (skipping the second cleanse every day) can leave a persistent emulsifier film that dulls skin over 2-3 weeks — always pair with a water-based second cleanse.

Usage math: at 2-3 pumps per PM use, a 195ml bottle provides roughly 60-90 uses.

Lifespan: at nightly use, expect the bottle to last approximately 2-3 months; using double the recommended amount to "clean better" does not improve cleansing efficacy (technique matters more than volume) and halves that lifespan.

Reorder timing: begin reordering roughly 2 weeks before the bottle runs dry to account for Mauritius shipping/pickup timing.

This product's entire job is dissolving the day's sunscreen and makeup before your real routine starts — it is a foundational PM step for anyone who wears daily SPF, which every Mauritius skincare routine should.

PM: 1. MIXSOON Bean Cleansing Oil — 2-3 pumps, dry hands, dry face, massage 30-60s, emulsify with water, rinse. 2. Water-based second cleanser. 3. Toner. 4. Serum/essence. 5. Moisturizer.

If you wore heavy waterproof makeup: pre-cleanse with a micellar water first, then this oil, for a genuine double-dissolve on stubborn pigment. If you are traveling within Mauritius during cyclone season and water access may be intermittent: keep a travel-size bottle and massage extra-long before the water step, since less water is needed to fully emulsify with a longer dry-massage phase.

Stock-true bundle: MIXSOON Centella Cleansing Foam 150ml + this product + MIXSOON Centella Asiatica Toner 150ml — a complete double-cleanse-plus-toner PM foundation from one brand line.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with Bean Cleansing Oil, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

Primary pick — if fragrance is a dealbreaker: Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil Mild 200ml — fragrance-free-of-synthetic-perfume, same oil-to-milk mechanism, built on ester emollients plus Rosemary Leaf Oil instead of this product's fermented-soybean base.

Alternative 1: SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil 200ml — a noticeably lighter, more watery oil texture for anyone who finds this product's Soybean/Jojoba oil blend too rich for daily use.

Alternative 2: beplain Mung Bean Cleansing Oil 200ml — another bean-themed oil cleanser, positioned more toward blackhead and deep-pore concerns than this product's ferment-hydration focus.

Alternative 3: manyo Pure Cleansing Oil Deep Clean 200ml — a single-oil (Grape Seed Oil) anhydrous formula for anyone who wants the shortest possible oil-phase ingredient list.

Thesis: choose MIXSOON Bean Cleansing Oil over Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil Mild if you want a ferment-forward, soybean/jojoba-oil-led formula and don't mind a light fragrance; choose the Anua if fragrance-free is a hard requirement.

IF/THEN triggers: If you have never reacted to fragranced skincare before, THIS is a reasonable pick. If you have a diagnosed fragrance allergy or currently-reactive/eczema-prone skin, choose the fragrance-free alternative instead. If you specifically want the Bean line's ferment story to match a Bean Essence/Bean Cream routine, THIS is the coherent-line choice.

Timing/lane: both are PM-primary, first-cleanse-step products; neither occupies an active lane, so this choice does not affect Conflict Solver scheduling.

Don't upgrade if: you already own any working oil cleanser and it isn't causing irritation — finish it first (see Section 39).

If you match 2 or more upgrade triggers above, THIS is worth choosing. If not, the alternative is sufficient and safer. Consistency beats complexity.

This product's PRIMARY function is: first-step oil-based sunscreen/makeup/sebum dissolving. You do NOT need this if you already own another working oil cleanser or cleansing balm. Finish your current product before purchasing.

Inventory audit: check for an open cleansing oil/balm with the same role — PAO (typically 6-12 months once opened) means buying new while old still has life left is wasteful.

Stacking assessment: No Benefit — running two oil cleansers side by side serves no purpose; pick one.

Brand Name: MIXSOON. Founded: 2020. Headquarters: Seoul, South Korea (one source found during a separate MIXSOON research pass references Jeju-si — not yet reconciled; see research/brands/mixsoon.json open_questions). Hero Ingredient: fermented soybean, across the Bean line. Manufacturing: not independently confirmed as in-house or contract; medium-confidence evidence points to exclusively Korea-based manufacturing.

MIXSOON positions itself as a minimalist, ingredient-transparency-first Korean brand under the philosophy "Healthy skin starts with good ingredients," typically building each product around one or two hero botanical or fermented extracts rather than long multi-active formulas. The Bean Cleansing Oil is a slightly more complex, multi-oil formula for this brand — its heavier ester-and-oil blend is what makes it competent at a first-cleanse job a genuinely minimal formula could not do as well.

Positive (iHerb, paraphrased): a reviewer with oily/combination skin described the cleanser as absorbing easily without feeling greasy, emulsifying beautifully into a milky texture, and not causing breakouts.

Positive (independent skincare blog, paraphrased): one blogger called it a "holy grail" oil cleanser, praising how thoroughly it dissolved sunscreen and makeup without a heavy after-feel.

Mixed (allergen-tracking source, paraphrased): the product was flagged as free of most common allergen classes (parabens, SLS, MCI/MI) but noted for having a genuinely noticeable fragrance, a caveat for fragrance-sensitive shoppers.

Common praise themes: lightweight texture, thorough sunscreen/makeup dissolving, non-greasy after-feel, good value for the 195ml size. Common complaint themes: noticeable fragrance; bottle can leak in transit if not packed upright.

Sustainability: check local recycling guidance for the plastic bottle type; the brand does not currently offer a refill program for this SKU based on this pass's research.

Do I still need a separate makeup remover? No — this oil cleanser is designed to dissolve makeup, including waterproof formulas, on its own as the first cleanse step.

Will this clog my pores if I have acne-prone skin? The oils used (soybean, jojoba, sunflower) are generally well-tolerated, and reviewers with oily/combination skin report no breakout increase — but it is a rinse-off product either way, which limits contact-time risk versus a leave-on oil.

Do I need to use a second cleanser after this? Yes — always follow with a water-based cleanser to fully remove the emulsifier residue.

Is it fragrance-free? No — it contains Fragrance (Parfum), a point some reviewers flagged given the brand's otherwise minimal-ingredient reputation.

Can I use this on eye makeup? Massage gently around (not directly in) the eye area and avoid direct contact with the eyes; rinse immediately if it gets in.

Source of Truth: This is a quick snapshot. If anything differs, the policy pages are final.

Store Policies: For the most up-to-date information, please review our Shipping Policy and Refund Policy.

Best for: anyone who wears daily sunscreen or makeup and needs a genuine first-cleanse step, especially in Mauritius' humid, high-SPF-reapplication climate. Not the pick for a strictly fragrance-free routine.

Key benefits: thorough, verified oil-to-milk dissolving mechanism; fermented Bean-line ingredient story; well-tolerated by oily/combination skin per available reviews; rinses fully clean with no residue.

Keep in mind: contains undisclosed Fragrance (Parfum) — patch test if sensitive; must always be paired with a second water-based cleanser; pack carefully when traveling due to reported pump leaks.

Impact: Neutral to Supportive. This product contains four ferment filtrates (Lactobacillus/Soybean, Lactobacillus/Pomegranate, Saccharomyces/Barley, Lactobacillus/Pear) at low, sub-1% concentrations.

These are POSTBIOTICS — beneficial metabolites from fermentation. You are not applying live bacteria, and there is no live-culture microbiome risk from a rinse-off product regardless.
