Oh em gee you know how much I love discovering a new cleanser! And the new Pink Cloud Jelly Cleanser from the uber-lux clean Herbivore gets me all tickled.
It’s really pretty, for sure. And the heavy glass bottle gives it that luxurious high-end spa feel. But none of that really matters. It’s what’s inside that counts!
Pink Cloud Jelly Cleanser has a relatively tight ingredient list with just 20 ingredients, four of which are humectants — Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate and Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract aka Snow Mushroom. If you’re not familiar with Snow Mushroom, it’s a delicacy in Chinese cuisine, making a delicious soup.
You might recall that The Inkey List offers a fantastic Snow Mushroom moisturizer which I review in a blog article last summer titled, Super Lightweight Summer Moisturizers Part I. You can check it out here.
Did you know that Snow Mushroom is also a superb humectant on par with Hyaluronic Acid itself?
In fact, while it’s a common claim that HA can hold up to 1,000x its weight in water, most HA molecules are rather large and don’t penetrate the skin barrier very deeply. Snow Mushroom has a smaller molecular weight and can go a bit deeper. So while it “only” draws 500x its weight in water, it’s a more effective humectant.
So the Pink Cloud cleanser, despite being washed off, can actually help hydrate the skin. In addition, there’s a good amount of bio-compatible, moisturizing Squalane.
Pink Cloud has an intriguing texture as well — reminiscent of popular K-beauty snail mucin cleansers. If you know, you know! It’s a good, clean, gentle and effective formula — supremely lightweight and a pleasure to use. And for just $24, it’s one of the most affordable of Herbivore’s clean luxury products — a real treat for the skin.
