At the time of purchase, they were all 16 won per ml. However, it's still more expensive than Hansalim (10 won per ml), so I plan to keep buying from Hansalim. Ingredients: Pure water-based soap The cleansing ingredient is potassium cocoate. It's a water-based soap ingredient, and it has a few oils, citric acid, salt (preservative, abrasive), rosemary extract (preservative), and shea butter (moisturizing) - a simple ingredient list with just the essentials. I'm not sure what the ingredients are, but it has this oily, greasy smell... Like when you made soap with cooking oil as a kid? That kind of smell. Since it's unscented, this smell is more pronounced. The lavender scent wasn't very fragrant either, so I'm a bit regretful that I bought the unscented one. I bought it because I like products without essential oils (due to allergic rhinitis), but this experience has made me decide to just get body washes with essential oils. Cleansing Power & Usage: Stiff Since it's a water-based soap, I used it in the winter and it sloughed off a lot of white flaky skin. Body lotion was a must. I also tried it on my hair, and it left my hair feeling stiff and somewhat sticky, and it got itchy the next day. I'm not sure if it's because of the shea butter or the oils, but I probably wouldn't have used it as a shampoo if it wasn't winter. It wasn't extremely bad, so I kept using it as a shampoo-body wash combo, but the lather didn't come out well in my hair. The cleansing power was good on the body though. Showering with this daily meant I didn't have to scrub much in the bathhouse. I'd recommend this to someone with oily skin, sensitivity to essential oils, and who is not too sensitive to scents.
ConsI just don't like the distinctive Dr. Woods scent in general. The oily smell is a bit unpleasant, almost like fish oil... My skin is on the dry side, so it felt a bit drying, especially on my feet and calves, which were flaky with white dead skin.
TipIn my case, I just used a lot of it to get a good lather, and after showering, I applied a generous amount of body lotion.

I'm glad I could buy it for around 10,000 won.
ConsI used Dr. Bronner's and wanted to try a cheaper one, so I bought it. The two products are similar, but the scent is too pungent, so it's been difficult to use. My husband says he can't use it. ㅜㅜ If you're sensitive to scents, I recommend choosing a different fragrance!

The Hwahae Trial Reviewer analysis found no problematic ingredients. It produces more lather and has better cleansing power compared to other water-soluble cleansers. It's similar to Dr. Bronner's. Others say it's good (?)... and so it is.
ConsCosmetics are case-by-case, as expected... I searched on the Hwahae app and Googled it, and bought it... but... I heard it's less drying than Dr. Bronner's, but it was extremely drying for me. I thought it didn't have fragrance, but the grain (?) scent that's beyond imagination is unacceptable... the smell keeps lingering... even I, with a strong stomach, found it difficult... The incident started about 2-3 months ago My skin became too irritated, dry, and I started breaking out frequently. So I changed my basic skincare products and one by one changed my base makeup and sunscreen. (~Chaos~) But my skin was still the same. Suddenly (+_+) I suspected the cleansing product. I started secretly using my sister's cleanser. After 2-3 days, the irritation subsided and the breakouts started to calm down. You might think the changed cleansing product was good, but searching on the Hwahae app, it shows the Apieu product I used temporarily has 2 caution ingredients and is extremely cheap. (I tested it with my sister's product. Of course, this product has tremendous cleansing power and dryness.) As a result of blindly trusting the ingredient analysis, I couldn't think that the cleansing was the cause. I thought it was just my mood...(I was a foolish little bear... Woo-er, woo-er)
TipCosmetics are case-by-case. What's best for others may be the worst for me! You must try it yourself... please~
