Binu is the Korean word for soap - but Binu is also the name of a German-Korean company that produces extremely mild soaps for facial cleansing. With purely plant-based ingredients such as coconut, olive and sunflower oil, this facial soap cleanses gently and thoroughly. It also contains activated bamboo charcoal, which binds and removes dirt particles and sebum thanks to its porous surface - ideal for oily and blemish-prone skin. In addition, the charcoal particles together with the ground bamboo leaves have a light exfoliating effect and remove dead skin cells, preventing pores from clogging and minimizing spots. The combination of hinoki water, shea butter and bamboo wood vinegar, which is obtained from the distillation of bamboo wood, provides moisture. Due to the acetic acid it contains (6-9%), the diluted bamboo wood vinegar has a slightlystringuring effect. We recommend applying a face cream as usual after cleansing. The Binu facial soap is handmade in Damyang, South Korea - the region is known for its bamboo forests - using a gentle cold process and then has five weeks to dry and mature.
