Rosette Cleansing Paste Sea Clay Smooth 120g

Rosette Cleansing Paste Sea Clay Smooth 120g is a clay facial cleanser for normal and oily skin with enlarged pores and excess sebum — one of Japan's longest-established clay cleansers, using Sea Silt (marine mineral clay) as the primary cleansing active to absorb excess sebum and draw out pore impurities while the mild foam cleanses without stripping the moisture barrier. Rose Fruit Extract provides skin-smoothing support post-cleanse.

• Sea Silt (marine mineral clay) — absorbs excess sebum and pore impurities with ion-exchange mineral activity
• Rose Fruit Extract — smooths skin texture and supports a soft, refined skin feel post-cleanse
• Fragrance-free, Color-free, Mineral oil-free — appropriate for daily use on sensitive-combination skin
• Paste-to-foam texture — thick paste lathers into a mild foam for effective yet non-irritating cleansing
• 120g — approximately 2–3 months of twice-daily use

How it works: Marine clay minerals attract and bind to positively charged sebum and pollutant particles through ion-exchange activity — removing them when the paste is rinsed away without disrupting the skin's negatively charged membrane. This mechanism is more selective than surfactant-only cleansing, which removes all oils including barrier-essential ones; clay-mineral cleansing removes excess sebum while leaving residual skin oils largely intact.

Rosette Sea Clay vs Pelican Deitanseki (bamboo charcoal) for pore cleansing: Both target sebum and pore impurities through mineral-based cleansing. Rosette Sea Clay uses marine mineral (sea silt) for moderate sebum control with skin-smoothing botanical support — suited for normal-oily skin in daily use. Pelican Deitanseki uses bamboo charcoal with a physical scrub component for more intensive targeted pore clearing — suited for deeply congested pores requiring exfoliation alongside cleansing.

Known in Japan as ロゼット 洗顔パスタ 海泥スムース 120g.
