i was in singapore when i found out that there's a muji store near our hotel. i was so excited but i didn't know what to buy except for their toner. so i bought something here and there. luckily, they also sell travel sizes, so i only bought the toner, milk and soap in full size and the rest are in travel sizes. i've tried the face foam in full size, and now i'll try the travel size face soap.
this is the description from their japan website: gently wash while keeping moisture. blended with orange juice as a natural moisture ingredient. no fragrance, no coloring, no mineral oil, alcohol free.
ingredients: water, myristic acid, BG, stearic acid, hydroxylated K, glycerin, palmitic acid, glycol distearate, lauric acid, lauriminodiacetic acid 2Na, PEG-3 palm fatty acid amide MEA sulfate Na, orange juice, olive fruit oil, stearic acid sorbitan, lauramide DEA, Na hydroxide, etidronic acid, EDTA-4Na, methylparaben, propylparaben.
the packaging: since i bought in store, there's no sealing whatever on the outer part of the tube. it's a white plastic squeeze tube with screw cap. i do hope that they use flip top for travel size face wash because i keep dropping the cap when i shower so it's really troublesome having to unscrew and put it back on every time i use it. there's description at the back in japanese, but since i bought it in singapore, there's a little sticker label at the back with a bit english description and ingredients list.

the scent: it's scentless since i think it's from their sensitive lines, so it only has scent from its ingredients.

the product: it's a pearly white creamy face wash that easy to lather. you only need a small amount for your entire face. it looks and feels similar to shiseido perfect whip. again, i think it will bubble up easier if you use net foam, but with just bare hands you can lather it up easily. i think it's easier to lather this one up rather than the perfect whip. it comes in 30 g and i've been using it for about 3 weeks until it's about done.

the result: after that, i can feel my face is squeaky clean. literally. but somehow i don't feel that it's too drying on my face. i don't have any problem while using it, but if you're concern with the pH level, you should check yourself as i don't have any pH strip test.

| trust me, it's bubbling, but since it took some time to take the picture, the bubbles vanish a bit |
for me, it's a good face wash for travelling. i only need a little for my whole face so it lasts for a while. i never travel more than 10 days, so this will be enough for travelling. i will definitely buy this for travelling. my only con with this one is when i use with foreo, it's not bubbling much so sometimes i feel the foreo bristles scratch my face, not literally, but i can feel the bristles dragging on my skin. so i'm torn because i love to bring my foreo with me everywhere, but it will be troublesome to bring two kinds of face wash while travelling. oh, and the price in singapore is much higher than japan's so if you could get this in japan, you should.
