SENSORYMicro-Foam Deep Cleanse
Rich, dense microbubble foam reaches deep into pores to remove dirt, excess sebum, and makeup residue without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.
pH 5.5 Balanced Formula
Formulated at the skin's natural pH of 5.5, this cleanser protects the acid mantle so your skin stays balanced and never feels tight or over-dried after cleansing.
100% Natural Surfactants
Uses coconut-derived surfactants (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Coco-Betaine, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate) instead of harsh SLS/SLES for a gentle yet thorough cleanse.
8 Botanical Extracts
Cranberry, Baobab, Olive Leaf, Horsetail, Green Tea, White Lotus, Sophora Root, and Coconut Acid work synergistically to nourish, soothe, and antioxidize the skin.
Skin Irritation Index 0.00
PURITO's in-depth dermatological testing confirmed a primary skin irritation index of 0.00 — proven non-irritating, making it ideal for reactive, sensitive, or compromised skin.
Vegan & Earth-Conscious
100% vegan, cruelty-free, and produced with eco-conscious packaging. A portion of PURITO's profits supports the Best Friends Animal Society shelter program.
Safety & compatibility
SAFEContains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreen filters. All surfactants are plant-derived and considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always consult your OB/GYN if in doubt.
Contains Lauric Acid, Coconut Acid, and Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, which are fatty acids that may feed Malassezia yeast. However, as a rinse-off cleanser, the contact time is very short, which may reduce the practical risk for most users.
Glyceryl Stearate has a moderate comedogenic potential, but the formula is a rinse-off cleanser with no pore-clogging leave-on residue. Overall comedogenic risk is low in normal use.
Contains no synthetic fragrance, essential oils, or known sensitizing fragrance components. Safe for fragrance-sensitive skin and those managing rosacea or eczema.
Does not contain denatured or drying alcohols (e.g., SD Alcohol, Alcohol Denat.). 1,2-Hexanediol and Caprylyl Glycol are fatty alcohol-derived preservative boosters, not drying alcohols.
Preserved with Sodium Benzoate, Caprylyl Glycol, and 1,2-Hexanediol — modern, well-tolerated alternatives to parabens with excellent safety profiles.
As a gentle, pH 5.5 cleanser, it is suitable to use before any active-ingredient serum or treatment. Does not contain exfoliating acids that could over-sensitize skin before layering actives.
Formulated entirely without sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or sodium laureth sulfate (SLES). All cleansing agents are amino-acid-based or isethionate-based, preserving the skin barrier.
Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSSodium Cocoyl Isethionate High (~15–20%)Proven
The primary cleansing agent, derived from coconut oil. Widely recognized as one of the mildest surfactants available — it produces a rich, creamy lather while preserving the skin barrier and leaving behind a soft, smooth feel. Used extensively in syndet (synthetic detergent) bars for sensitive skin.
- Function: Primary surfactant, foaming agent
- Skin Feel: Leaves skin soft and smooth, not stripped
- Safety: Biodegradable, coconut-derived, low irritancy potential
- Source: Dr. Leslie Baumann, Cosmetic Dermatology — noted as defining "a new dimension in the mildness of cleansing bars"
Glycerin ~5–10%Proven
A skin-identical humectant that draws moisture into the skin and helps maintain hydration throughout the cleansing process. Naturally found in the skin and widely considered the gold-standard moisturizing ingredient. Prevents the tight, dry feeling often associated with foaming cleansers.
- Function: Humectant, skin-identical moisturizer
- Comedogenicity: 0/5 — completely non-comedogenic
- Research: A 2016 study found glycerin outperformed AHAs and hyaluronic acid as a humectant in controlled comparisons
Propanediol ~3–5%Proven
A corn-derived multitasking glycol that acts as a humectant, solvent, and penetration enhancer. Helps other active ingredients absorb more effectively and contributes to the silky texture of the formula. Considered safer and more skin-friendly than propylene glycol.
- Function: Humectant, solvent, texture enhancer
- Safety: Ecocert approved, used in natural products, no known sensitization risk
Coco-Betaine ~2.2–2.7%Proven
A natural amphoteric surfactant derived from coconuts, functioning as both a cleansing agent and foam booster. Gentler than its synthetic counterpart Cocamidopropyl Betaine, it helps achieve a rich, stable foam while moderating the action of stronger surfactants and reducing overall irritation potential.
- Function: Secondary surfactant, foam booster, conditioning agent
- Note: May cause sensitivity in a small subset of users with coconut allergies
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (Green Tea) Low (~0.1–0.5%)Promising
Packed with potent polyphenol antioxidants (EGCG, ECG, GCG, EGC) that protect skin from free radical damage caused by UV and environmental pollution. Green tea also has documented anti-inflammatory and mild antimicrobial properties, making it beneficial for acne-prone and rosacea-affected skin.
- Function: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial
- Research: Studies support topical green tea extract for reducing redness, managing acne, and slowing signs of photoaging
Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Fruit Extract Low (~0.1–0.5%)Promising
Rich in vitamins C and E, polyphenols, and organic acids. Cranberry extract provides antioxidant protection, a mild skin-brightening effect, and contributes to the overall skin-nourishing botanical blend. Its natural acidity also helps maintain the product's pH.
- Function: Antioxidant, brightening support, pH contribution
- Benefit: Source of natural vitamin C precursors and flavonoids
Adansonia Digitata (Baobab) Fruit Extract Low (~0.1–0.5%)Promising
Baobab — Africa's "Tree of Life" — yields an extract exceptionally rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, and essential fatty acid precursors. It supports skin elasticity and acts as a nourishing, conditioning botanical that softens the skin during cleansing.
- Function: Skin conditioning, nourishing, antioxidant support
- Notable: High in vitamin C — up to 6x more than oranges by weight
Nymphaea Alba (White Lotus) Flower Extract Low (~0.05–0.2%)Promising
White lotus flower extract has been valued in Asian skincare traditions for its soothing and skin-softening properties. It contains flavonoids and antioxidant compounds that help calm irritation and give the skin a refined, luminous appearance.
- Function: Soothing, antioxidant, skin softening

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEUse as your second (water-based) cleanser after an oil or balm cleanser in a double-cleanse routine. Suitable for AM and PM routines. Apply to damp skin, lather, massage gently, and rinse with lukewarm water.
How to use
HOW TO USEWet Your Face
Splash your face with lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as this can disrupt the skin barrier and cause excess dryness post-cleanse.
Dispense a Small Amount
Squeeze a pea- to grape-sized amount (approx. 0.5–1 cm) onto your fingertips or palm. The formula is concentrated — a little goes a very long way.
Lather Between Palms
Work the product between your palms with a small amount of water until a rich, dense foam forms. You can also use a foam net or konjac sponge to build extra lather.
Massage Gently
Apply the foam to your face using gentle circular motions. Focus on the T-zone, around the nose, and chin where buildup tends to accumulate. Avoid the eye area.
Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse completely with lukewarm water, ensuring no residue remains around the hairline or jawline. Pat dry gently with a clean towel — do not rub.
Continue Your Routine
Proceed immediately to toner, essence, or serum while skin is still slightly damp to maximize absorption. The pH 5.5 formula prepares skin optimally for actives.

Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESMicrobubble foam effectively removes excess sebum and unclogs pores without over-stripping. pH 5.5 helps maintain the acid mantle so oil production doesn't rebound after cleansing.
Glycerin and propanediol help preserve moisture during cleansing. Skin feels clean but not stripped. Follow with a richer moisturizer or hydrating toner for best results on very dry skin.
The balanced pH 5.5 formula addresses oiliness in the T-zone while keeping cheeks and drier areas comfortable. One of the most versatile options for combination skin types.
Clinically proven irritation index of 0.00. Free from fragrance, essential oils, SLS, and colorants. Ideal for rosacea, eczema-prone, and post-procedure skin. Patch test always recommended for very reactive skin.
Effectively removes pore-clogging sebum and impurities. Antioxidant botanical extracts (green tea, sophora root) provide mild anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial support. Note: contains fatty acids that may not suit confirmed fungal acne cases.
A daily-use workhorse cleanser. Clean rinse, no irritation, no dryness — leaves skin feeling exactly as it should: balanced, soft, and refreshed.
Results timeline
MONTH 2+Noticeably Cleaner, Non-Stripped Skin
After the first wash, skin feels clean, soft, and balanced — without the tight, squeaky feeling common with harsher foaming cleansers. The formula's gentle surfactants preserve skin oils so the moisture barrier stays intact immediately.
~95% noticedImproved Skin Texture & Reduced Congestion
With consistent daily use, pores begin to appear less congested as the microbubble foam repeatedly removes trapped sebum and debris. Skin texture becomes smoother and more even. Redness in sensitive skin types may begin to settle.
~80% noticedBalanced Oil Production & Clearer Complexion
The pH-balanced formula helps regulate sebum production. Oily skin types often report less midday shine; dry skin types find their post-cleanse routine requires less compensatory moisturizing. Skin appears clearer and more radiant.
~72% noticedStronger Skin Barrier & Long-Term Skin Health
Continued use with the antioxidant-rich botanical extracts (green tea, cranberry, baobab) contributes to environmental protection and gradual improvement in skin resilience. Users with sensitive skin report significantly fewer daily flare-ups and irritation episodes.

- Suitable for sensitive, reactive, and rosacea-prone skin
- Plant-derived botanical complex adds antioxidant benefits
- Works well in double-cleanse routines as a second step
Criticized
- Not fully fungal acne (Malassezia) safe — contains Lauric Acid and Coconut Acid
- Squeeze tube packaging less convenient than a pump bottle
- May not fully remove heavy, waterproof makeup without a prior oil cleanser
- Botanical extract concentrations likely low (primarily skin benefits from actives)
- Very dry skin types may still need a hydrating toner immediately after
- Glyceryl Stearate has a moderate comedogenic rating — watch in leave-on products
Budget-friendly alternatives (dupes)
DUPES
Amino acid-based, pH 5.0 gel cleanser — similarly gentle, fragrance-free, and suitable for sensitive skin. Uses tea tree oil (so not completely fragrance-free for those sensitive to botanicals). The texture is more gel-like vs. PURITO's creamy foam, but the skin feel after rinsing is comparable.
French pharmacy classic for sensitive and dry skin. Fragrance-free, sulfate-free, and non-foaming — gentler in terms of cleansing but less effective at removing heavy sunscreen or makeup residue. Lacks the botanical antioxidant complex of PURITO and doesn't offer pH-balanced foaming action.
K-beauty alternative with a green tea focus, gentle surfactants, and a similar pH-balanced formula. Slightly more watery foam with less density compared to PURITO. Lacks the multi-botanical blend (baobab, cranberry, white lotus) that sets PURITO apart, but offers comparable basic cleansing and antioxidant support.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes — the PURITO From Green Deep Foaming Cleanser is considered pregnancy and breastfeeding safe. It contains no retinoids (vitamin A derivatives), salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical UV filters, which are the primary ingredients of concern during pregnancy. All surfactants are coconut-derived plant ingredients, and the preservative system uses Sodium Benzoate and Caprylyl Glycol, both of which are widely accepted as safe. As with any skincare product during pregnancy, it's always advisable to confirm with your OB/GYN or midwife before introducing new products.
Use with caution if you have confirmed Malassezia folliculitis (fungal acne). The formula contains Lauric Acid, Coconut Acid, and Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate — all fatty acid-based ingredients that can theoretically feed Malassezia yeast. That said, this is a rinse-off cleanser, meaning contact time on the skin is very brief (typically under 60 seconds). Many people with mild fungal acne have used it without issues, as the short contact time reduces the practical risk compared to leave-on products. If you have active or severe Malassezia folliculitis, consider a strictly FA-safe alternative such as the COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser or Krave Beauty Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser.
Yes — this cleanser is fully compatible with actives like retinol, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), AHAs (glycolic, lactic), and BHAs (salicylic acid). As a gentle, pH 5.5 rinse-off cleanser with no exfoliating acids of its own, it cleanses without over-sensitizing the skin barrier before you apply actives. In fact, its low pH may help prime the skin slightly for acid-based serums. Apply your active serums or treatments after cleansing and toning as usual. Avoid using this cleanser immediately after professional chemical peels or laser treatments unless directed by your dermatologist — opt for a plain micellar water instead during post-procedure recovery.
This cleanser is formulated for all skin types and is particularly well-suited to sensitive, combination, oily, and normal skin. Its greatest strengths are for sensitive and reactive skin — thanks to its clinically verified irritation index of 0.00, fragrance-free formulation, and gentle coconut-derived surfactants. Oily and combination skin benefit from the microbubble foam's pore-cleansing ability at a balanced pH that doesn't stimulate compensatory sebum overproduction. Dry skin types can use it effectively, especially as a second cleanser in a double-cleanse routine, though very dry skin may prefer pairing it with a rich moisturizer immediately after. It's not specifically formulated for confirmed fungal acne (Malassezia) skin concerns.
Results are typically immediate in terms of skin feel — from the very first use, most users notice that skin feels clean without being stripped or tight. Within 1–2 weeks of daily use, pore congestion tends to improve and skin texture becomes smoother. Skin barrier improvements (less redness, fewer irritation flares in sensitive skin) are typically noticeable after 3–4 weeks of consistent morning and evening use. Longer-term antioxidant benefits from botanical extracts accumulate over 4–8 weeks. As a cleanser, however, it primarily supports skin health as part of a broader routine rather than delivering standalone visible transformations — pair it with a targeted serum or treatment for specific concerns.
This cleanser goes as the second step in a double-cleanse routine (after an oil or balm cleanser), or as the first and only cleansing step in a single-cleanse routine. Use it both morning and evening. In the evening, if you wear SPF or makeup, use an oil-based first cleanser first to dissolve sunscreen and cosmetics, then follow with this foam cleanser to remove any residue and fully prep the skin. In the morning, you can use it alone to refresh skin, or simply rinse with water if your evening cleanse was thorough. After cleansing, proceed to toner → essence → serum → moisturizer → SPF (AM).
Overall comedogenic risk is low at a rating of 2/5. Glyceryl Stearate has a moderate comedogenic potential in theory, but comedogenic ratings are based on leave-on products at high concentrations — not rinse-off cleansers used briefly then washed away. The cleansing agents (SCI, Coco-Betaine) are non-comedogenic. Glycerin rates 0/5 on comedogenicity. In practical use as a rinse-off cleanser, the product leaves virtually no residue on the skin, which dramatically reduces any real-world pore-clogging risk. Thousands of acne-prone users have used this cleanser without comedogenic reactions. If you have extremely acne-prone or comedone-sensitive skin, patch test on your jawline before full-face use.
The Period After Opening (PAO) for PURITO From Green Deep Foaming Cleanser is 12 months — indicated by the open-jar symbol on the packaging labeled "12M." In practice, the 150 ml tube typically lasts 3–5 months with daily twice-daily use, as only a very small amount (0.5–1 cm) is needed per wash. The 30 ml travel size lasts approximately 4–6 weeks with daily use. Store at room temperature away from humidity and direct sunlight for maximum shelf life. The preservative system (Sodium Benzoate, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol) is effective for the full PAO period under normal storage conditions.
Verdict: The PURITO From Green Deep Foaming Cleanser is one of the most well-rounded, gentle, and affordable K-beauty cleansers available. Its standout strengths are a clinically confirmed irritation index of 0.00, a skin-matched pH 5.5, 100% coconut-derived surfactants free of SLS/SLES, and a rich botanical complex of 8 plant extracts — all at a price point that rarely requires a second thought. It excels for sensitive, combination, oily, and normal skin types and earns its place as a reliable daily workhorse in any routine. The only material caveats are the fatty acid content that warrants caution for confirmed fungal acne sufferers, and the squeeze tube format that some users wish were a pump. For anyone seeking a fragrance-free, vegan, pregnancy-safe, barrier-respectful foaming cleanser with genuine K-beauty sophistication, this is an outstanding choice.

Understanding Parabens
Parabens are a large group of preservatives which are used to prevent bacteria growing in cosmetic formulations. There has been some healthy controversy surrounding them due to a few studies finding paraben presence in breast tumours and breast tissue. However, the majority of the scientific community have deemed these findings non-conclusive due to the limitations of these studies. There's still a lot of support for avoiding parabens following the better safe than sorry route. If you do we completely support you! If you are concerned about the health safety of parabens, then feel free to avoid them by looking out for the Paraben-Free icon. If not, don't worry about it - they do have had one of the longest safety records as preservatives!

Understanding Sulfates
Sulfates are a large group of ingredients which act as cleansing agents in Cosmetics. They help loosen up the dirt and grime from your skin and hair to allow for water to wash it away with ease. However some sulfates are so good at their job, they can wash off your skin’s own natural oils that keep it moisturised and protected which can lead to dryness and irritation. Most people will find no issues with sulfate, however if you find your skin doesn't like sulfates then free feel to avoid them by looking out for the sulfate-free icon on Skincarisma.

Understanding Simple Alcohols
Alcohol ingredients are widely used in cosmetics and come in different types. For the most part alcohols are not problematic at all. However one type of alcohols, simple alcohols can be quite drying to the skin because it evaporates very quickly. This can cause irritation which can also lead to other skin complications. These alcohols should never be used alone on your skin, but combined with other cosmetic ingredients, they are normally without issue. However, for some people with sensitive and easily irritable skin, avoiding products with these simple alcohols may be beneficial. If you find your skin doesn't like these simple alcohols, then free feel to avoid them by looking out for the Alcohol-Free icon.

Silicone-Free
Silicone-Free
Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.
Note, that this does not include all ingredients part of the Silicone class of ingredients.
EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
