Is this the same as b_plain's other cleansing balm?

No — a direct ingredient comparison against b_plain's Mung Bean Pore Cleansing Milk Balm found a firmer wax structure here (versus a softer Polyethylene/Cetearyl Alcohol emulsifier system there) and concentration-labeled mung bean extract/powder not present on the Milk Balm.
