Honest Cleansing Foam

Honest Cleansing Foam is a gentle Korean cleanser from Benton formulated with naturally-derived surfactants from palm oil for thorough yet mild cleansing. This creamy foam removes dirt, excess oil, and makeup residue without stripping the skin's natural moisture. The formula features Camellia Japonica Seed Oil for nourishment plus botanical extracts including Centella Asiatica, Green Tea, and Licorice Root for soothing and antioxidant care. The rich, fine lather cleanses effectively while keeping skin soft and comfortable. Vegan, cruelty-free, and suitable for all skin types including sensitive and acne-prone skin.

How This Gentle Cleanser Works

This cleanser creates a luxurious foam that cleanses thoroughly while respecting the skin's natural balance.

The Cleansing Process

1. Cream Phase – Small amount dispenses from tube

2. Foam Creation – Water transforms cream into rich lather

3. Cleansing Phase – Fine bubbles lift dirt and oil

4. Rinse Phase – Water removes everything cleanly

The naturally-derived surfactants cleanse effectively without the harshness of many foaming cleansers.

What It Removes

The gentle foam effectively cleanses away:

• Daily dirt and pollutants

• Excess sebum and oil

• Light makeup residue

• Sunscreen and SPF products

• First-cleanse residue (double cleansing)

Why Natural Surfactants Matter

This cleanser uses surfactants derived from palm oil instead of harsh synthetic cleansing agents.

What natural surfactants provide:

• Gentle cleansing action

• Reduced irritation risk

• Better moisture retention

• Skin barrier protection

• Comfortable post-wash feeling

Many foaming cleansers leave skin feeling tight and dry. This formula maintains the skin's natural moisture balance during cleansing.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

These botanical ingredients work together to cleanse while actively caring for skin health.

Botanical Soothing Complex

The formula includes a blend of calming plant extracts for sensitive and stressed skin:

Centella Asiatica — Known as Cica, this Korean skincare favourite calms irritation and supports skin barrier repair.

Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) — Rich in antioxidants that help protect skin from daily environmental stress.

Licorice Root — Provides anti-inflammatory benefits and supports a more even skin tone.

Portulaca Oleracea — Traditional ingredient known for soothing and hydrating properties.

This botanical blend ensures even sensitive skin feels comfortable during and after cleansing.
