ZHUBEN - Dream River Cleanser 100g

Key Benefits:

• Thoroughly removes dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping.
• Leaves skin feeling soft, hydrated, and comfortable.
• Calms and soothes irritation.
• Provides antioxidant protection.
• Offers brightening effects.
• Strengthens the skin barrier.

Gentle Cleansing as Barrier Preservation

• Core Philosophy: Unlike harsh sulfates (SLS/SLES), its amino acid surfactants (Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate) and amphoterics (Lauryl Hydroxysultaine) lift impurities without dissolving the skin’s lipid barrier.
• Impact: Prevents the "tightness" post-cleansing, maintaining the acid mantle (pH balanced by Sodium Citrate/Potassium Hydroxide). This is critical for sensitive, reactive, or barrier-compromised skin.

Proactive Soothing & Anti-Inflammation

• Licorice Root (Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate): Suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines (like TNF-α), visibly reducing redness and heat.
• Centella Asiatica: Stimulates collagen synthesis while calming – ideal for acne-prone or irritated skin.
• Honeysuckle/Schisandra: Traditional adaptogens that neutralize environmental stress during cleansing, a vulnerable moment for skin.
• Why it matters: Turns cleansing from a potential trigger into a therapeutic intervention for inflammation-prone skin.

Microbiome & Barrier Fortification

• Lactobacillus/Algae Ferment: Delivers postbiotics that strengthen the skin’s microbial shield. Balances bacteria after tap water exposure (which disrupts pH/microflora).
• Glycosyl Trehalose: Mimics natural skin saccharides, locking hydration and reinforcing barrier proteins (filaggrin).
• Polyquaternium-39: Forms an electrostatic "net" on skin, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) even after rinsing.
• The Big Picture: This isn’t just "not stripping" – it’s actively rebuilding resilience with every wash. 

Antioxidant Infusion During Oxidative Stress

• Cleansing exposes skin to water (pro-oxidant metals) and mechanical friction. ZHUBEN counters this with:
• Citrus Oils (Orange/Grapefruit/Mandarin): Limonene-rich, scavenging free radicals immediately.
• Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis): EGCG protects against UV-induced damage amplified by water.
• Tocopherol + Schisandra: Lipid-soluble antioxidants shield cell membranes.
• Result: Skin emerges less vulnerable to post-cleanse environmental assault. 

Hydration Lockdown via Humectant Synergy

• Glycerin + Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate + Butylene Glycol: Multi-weight humectants pull moisture deep into strata corneum.
• Glyceryl Stearate SE + Jojoba Esters: Emollients seal hydration, creating a "cushion" effect.
• Unlike many foaming cleansers: Leaves skin positively hydrated, not just "not dry." 

Brightening Through Indirect Pathways

• Licorice Root: Inhibits tyrosinase gently (unlike aggressive acids).
• Peony Root Extract: Suppresses melanin transfer.
• Citrus Bioflavonoids: Inhibit glycation (preventing dull "sugar-damaged" skin).
• This isn’t a "bleaching" cleanser: It normalizes cell turnover and combats dullness triggers (inflammation, dehydration). 

Sensory Intelligence & Emotional Resonance

• Pearlescent Opacifiers (Ethylene Glycol Distearate): Signals "luxury" without comedogenicity.
• Citrus-Geranium Fragrance: Aromatherapeutic – uplifts mood (limbic system activation).
• Cushiony Lather: Psychologically satisfies the desire for "clean" without abrasion.
• The Ritual: Transforms a functional step into a mindful reset – aligning with "Dream River" as an experiential escape. 

The Deeper Value Proposition

• This cleanser challenges the notion that "rinse-off products don’t deliver actives." By embedding high-cost ingredients (Centella, Licorice, Ferments) in a surfactant base, it:
• Prevents damage (barrier/microbiome disruption) during cleansing.
• Delivers residual benefits (soothing, antioxidant, hydrating) that persist post-rinse.
• Creates a foundation for serums/moisturizers to perform better on balanced, calm skin. 

Ideal User Profile:

• Sensitive/reactive skin seeking effective cleansing.
• Dehydrated or barrier-impaired complexions.
• Those prioritizing preventative skincare over corrective.
• Anyone craving a sensorial, mood-enhancing ritual.
• Caution: Essential oils (citrus/geranium) may irritate highly sensitive or allergy-prone skin. Patch test advised. 

In essence: ZHUBEN Dream River isn’t just cleaning skin – it’s curating an ecosystem where barrier integrity, microbiome balance, and antioxidant defense coexist.

ZHUBEN Dream River Cleanser is formulated as a gentle, foaming facial cleanser with added soothing, hydrating, and brightening benefits.  

Core Cleansing & Foaming Agents (Surfactants):

• Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate: Primary, very mild amino acid-based surfactant (derived from coconut). Cleanses without stripping, good for sensitive skin.

Optimal Usage Guide

Frequency:

• Morning & Evening: Ideal for daily use (AM/PM) due to its mild surfactants.
• Sensitive/Dry Skin: Can be used once daily (PM only) if preferred. 

Prep:

• Start with dry hands and a dry face.
• Splash face with lukewarm water (hot water strips lipids; cold hinders cleansing). 

Product Application:

• Dispense a pea-sized amount (½-1 cm). Less is more – its rich surfactants lather efficiently.
• Emulsify between wet palms to activate the foaming network. 

Massage Technique:

• Apply foam in upward, circular motions for 45-60 seconds.
• Focus on T-zone if oily, but avoid harsh scrubbing.
• Let the foam "sit" for 15-30 seconds on areas prone to redness (cheeks) – allowing licorice/centella to soothe. 

Rinse:

• Thoroughly rinse with lukewarm water until zero residue remains.
• Pat dry with a clean towel – never rub. 

Follow-up:

• Immediately apply toner/essence to damp skin to lock in hydration.

Storage conditions

• Store at room temperature and away from light; if you feel any discomfort during use, please stop using; please keep out of reach of infants and young children.
