b_plain Mung Bean Pore Cleansing Milk Balm
b_plain's Mung Bean Pore Cleansing Milk Balm has an unusually soft, creamy texture compared to most balms — but its ingredient order (anhydrous oil/wax esters ahead of water, which sits 18th) confirms it's genuinely a balm formula, not a mislabeled lotion; it emulsifies into a milky texture only once water is added during use. It lists at Olive Young Korea for 25,000 KRW list / 16,060 KRW sale (100ml); listing active (not delisted), checked 2026-09-03. This is confirmed a genuinely distinct formula from b_plain's other cleansing balm on this site, the Grinding variant — different emulsifier system, different active ingredients. Its declared ingredient list matches Olive Young Global's export listing exactly. (Checked: 2026-09-04)

Is this the same as b_plain's other cleansing balm?
No — a direct ingredient comparison against b_plain's Mung Bean Pore Grinding Cleansing Balm found a different, firmer wax structure there plus concentration-labeled mung bean extract/powder, versus this Milk Balm's softer emulsifier system (Polyethylene, Cetearyl Alcohol). Same manufacturer, genuinely different formulas.
