Product details

A pump bottle of Mixsoon Bean Essence on a sunlit cream table beside a glass dish of soybeans and a few barley grains

Fermented bean

A watery essence of fermented soybean, pomegranate, barley and pear that hydrates daily and doubles as a gentle exfoliating massage.

Mixsoon’s Bean Essence has just seven ingredients: water, two humectants and four plant ferments led by Korean soybean. Fermentation breaks the bean’s nutrients into smaller pieces that sink in easily, and the fermented pomegranate carries natural AHAs. Use it every day as a moisturizing essence, or massage it in a few times a week to lift dead skin and excess sebum.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Fermented soybean

    The heart of the essence, made from Korean soybeans. Long fermentation breaks the bean’s nutrients into smaller particles, so they absorb better and leave skin moist and supple.

    No. 4 of 7 on the list

  • Fermented pomegranate

    Pomegranate naturally contains AHAs, which help loosen dead skin cells and smooth rough texture. Mixsoon adds no separate acid; this ferment is the source.

    No. 5 of 7 on the list

  • Fermented barley + pear

    Barley brings vitamins for moisture and a healthy-looking glow; pear juice carries vitamins C and E and polyphenols with antioxidant care.

    No. 6, 7 of 7 on the list

  • Propanediol + glycerin

    Two humectants right after water that draw in moisture, so the essence hydrates without a sticky finish.

  3. 3

    Rinse or wipe

    Rinse with lukewarm water or wipe off with a toner pad.

  4. 4

    Follow with the rest of your routine so skin stays smooth and hydrated.

Smooth, moist, simply fed

Seven ingredients and the slow goodness of fermented soybean, for skin that feels soft and smooth every day.

Good to know

  • Contains soybean. Skip it if you are allergic to soy.
  • Use plenty of essence when massaging and keep the pressure light to avoid irritating skin.
  • Made from natural ferments, so the colour can vary a little from batch to batch.
  • The bottle may not look full; Mixsoon leaves room for stability in shipping.
  • Vegan, per Mixsoon. Comes in 50 mL, 30 mL and 20 mL bottles.
