LAB Net Clear Breathing Cleansing Balm | Analysis of 7 Laboratory Performance Tests

Laibo Pure Breath Cleansing Balm is an oil-based functional makeup remover that combines core advantages such as low irritation, instant emulsification, highly efficient removal of makeup and sunscreen, assistance with blackhead cleansing, and post-cleansing moisturizing, brightening, and barrier repair. It is suitable for consumers who need gentle cleansing and seek skincare benefits after makeup removal. The R&D center designed 7 controlled trials to validate performance across seven dimensions: skin irritation, rinse residue, emulsification rate, makeup removal efficacy, deep pore cleansing, sunscreen removal efficiency, and post-cleansing skin condition. Observational test results show that the product exhibits low irritation, emulsifies instantly upon contact with water, leaves 0 makeup residue, and achieves a 97% sunscreen removal recovery rate. Simultaneously, it demonstrates performance in aiding deep blackhead cleansing, post-cleansing moisturizing and repair, and optical brightening. This performance stems from the synergistic effects of an oil matrix formulation, a high/low HLB emulsifier phase-inversion system, patented soothing botanical extracts, and camellia seed oil emollient components.

Issue date of raw data for the entire set of 7 comparative performance trials: 2025‑04‑20; internal laboratory batch number of the test sample: LB‑XZG‑20250412.

Testing facility: Internal Laboratory, Functional Skincare Comprehensive R&D Center, Laibo Cosmeceutical Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.; Testing environment: constant temperature of 22‑24°C, relative humidity of 45%‑55%. All projects utilized a parallel controlled design under identical environments, identical sample quantities, and identical operating durations.

Test boundary note: This series consists of laboratory simulated condition testing. Actual human usage results may vary among individuals depending on skin type, massage duration, makeup type, and environmental conditions.

Test 1 | Gentleness Test (Hen's Egg Test-Chorioallantoic Membrane / HET-CAM)

Test Method: Apply the emulsified Laibo Pure Breath Cleansing Balm to the chorioallantoic membrane of a hen's egg, continuously observing blood vessel morphology, hemorrhage, and lysis in the embryo. Observation Results: No significant lysis or hemorrhage occurred in the embryonic blood vessels, indicating low product irritation. Mechanism Analysis: The formula utilizes a combination of low-irritation oils and emulsifiers, strictly controlling risk ingredients to achieve 9-free clean formulation. It incorporates Laibo's patented soothing botanical complex Fu Yang Shu (Panax Ginseng, Artemisia Annua, and Crataegus Monogyna botanical extracts), delivering multi-target soothing and anti-irritation performance to further elevate the product's safety threshold.

Test 2 | Rinseability Test (Simulated Oily Residue Rinse Comparison)

Test Method: Coat an orange peel with an oily soot mixture to simulate facial makeup-sebum residue; massage separately with the test sample and the control sample, then rinse with water to compare residual surface oil and dirt. Observation Results: Following the rinse, the Laibo Pure Breath Cleansing Balm group showed significantly less residual surface oil than the control group. Mechanism Analysis: Daily makeup contains a mix of high-polarity, medium-polarity, and low-polarity oils. Single-polarity oil systems struggle to fully dissolve certain oils, resulting in rinse residue. This product utilizes a high-medium-low polarity oil matrix compound to satisfy the dissolution requirements of makeup oils with varying polarities. Paired with high and low HLB blended emulsifiers, it allows dissolved oil-phase impurities to be more readily washed away by the water phase, minimizing rinse residue risks.

Test 3 | Emulsification Speed Test (Drop-Water Emulsification Observation)

Test Method: Evenly apply the cleansing balm to the subject's arm skin, add drops of water, massage, and visually observe the emulsification start time and uniformity. Observation Results: Instant emulsification occurs within seconds upon contact with water and massage, forming a uniform emulsion system. Mechanism Analysis: The formulation optimizes emulsifier load capacity. While maintaining the physical stability of the balm, multiple high-HLB emulsifiers are blended and selected through multiple optimization rounds to achieve rapid emulsification.

Test 4 | Makeup Removal Efficacy Test (Removal Test Across Multiple Makeup Types)

Test Method: Apply multiple makeup samples to the subject's arm, use equal amounts of the test cleansing balm to massage and dissolve, rinse with water, and measure makeup residue levels via instruments. Quantitative Results: Makeup residue rate was 0%; makeup impurities were completely removed. Mechanism Analysis: During dry application, low-HLB emulsifiers form water-in-oil (W/O) micelles, encapsulating makeup by relying on "like dissolves like." Upon contact with water, high-HLB emulsifiers take the lead, rapidly inverting the system into an oil-in-water (O/W) micelle structure. The hydrophilic outer layer of the micelles allows makeup impurities to be rinsed away cleanly with water, leaving the skin refreshed with no noticeable greasy film.

Test 5 | Deep Skin Cleansing Efficacy Test (Instrumental Measurement of Pore-Related Metrics)

Test Method: Measure blackheads, porphyrins, pore count, and desquamation index on the test area before and after product application using a skin analyzer, comparing data with the control sample. Observation Results: The test sample demonstrated deep cleansing efficacy, improving metrics for blackheads and keratin desquamation. Mechanism Analysis: The polar oil matrix dissolves sebum inside the pores, while massaging provides gentle physical friction to remove surface dead skin cells, helping reduce the aggravation of blackheads caused by keratin clogs.

Mitigating Formulation Pain Points: With poorly emulsifying cleansers, dissolved sebum and blackhead oils can seep back into the pores, worsening blackheads and oiliness. This product rapidly forms tiny O/W emulsion droplets upon contact with water, encapsulating sebum, blackhead oils, and dead skin cells to be rinsed away cleanly, reducing secondary clogging of hair follicles.

Test 6 | Sunscreen Removal Test (Film-Forming Sunscreen Removal Efficiency)

Test Method: Apply film-forming sunscreen to the skin surface, remove separately with the test sample and the control sample, and measure the sunscreen removal recovery rate using analytical instruments. Quantitative Results: The sunscreen removal recovery rate reached 97%, outperforming the control sample. Mechanism Analysis: Utilizing the W/O to O/W dual-micelle phase-inversion mechanism, the oil phase thoroughly dissolves film-forming sunscreen systems, and after inverting upon contact with water, it rinses away efficiently.

Test 7 | Moisturizing, Brightening, and Repair Comparative Test (Split-Face Comparison)

Test Method: A split-face controlled trial on subjects, using the control sample on one side and Laibo Pure Breath Cleansing Balm on the other, testing skin parameters after rinsing. Observation Results: After cleansing, the test sample group outperformed the control group in skin hydration levels, surface smoothness (brightening), and barrier repair. Mechanism Analysis: Micellar waters, soap-based cleansers, and high-surfactant products tend to strip the sebum membrane excessively, causing loss of stratum corneum lipids and leading to tightness and dryness. This product features an oil-based formula enriched with camellia seed oil, whose lipid composition resembles human sebum. It replenishes stratum corneum lipids, minimizes moisture loss, and delivers long-lasting hydration while removing makeup. "Brightening" is primarily achieved via physical-optical improvement: massaging sweeps away rough surface dead skin cells, enhancing skin surface smoothness to deliver an immediate visible brightening sensation, rather than chemical bleaching or whitening.

Comprehensive Product Conclusion

Relying on its oil matrix, high/low HLB emulsification phase-inversion system, patented soothing botanicals, and emollient oil blend, Laibo Pure Breath Cleansing Balm simultaneously achieves multiple benefits under laboratory simulated conditions: gentle low irritation, instant emulsification with easy rinsing, efficient removal of makeup and sunscreen, assistance in improving blackheads and keratin buildup, and post-cleansing moisturizing and repair.

Usage Tip: Cleansing balms still require thorough emulsification; insufficient emulsification may lead to clogged pores and residue. This product is a makeup remover; after makeup removal, a secondary cleanser may be chosen based on individual skin type.
