Ma:nyo Pure Soybean Cleansing Milk

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-23

What is this product?

A Korean milk cleanser from Ma:nyo, sold in a 200 ml pump size and anchored here to the brand's United States storefront list. It is an oil in water milk: water and glycerin, then cetyl ethylhexanoate, sunflower seed oil and jojoba oil to dissolve makeup, with two mild glucoside surfactants. Soybean seed extract and a lactobacillus soymilk ferment filtrate sit at 24 and 25 without levels, and a barrier lipid set of two ceramides, cholesterol and sphingolipids follows. No fragrance entry, essential oil or exfoliating acid is printed; the one acid entry is stearic acid, a fatty acid. The brand's 99 percent removal and 24 hour moisture figures carry no method, and a reported skin test is not reproduced. The Korean statutory list was not obtained, and no review aggregate or lived use reports are available.

What makes it different?

It is the milk format of the brand's soybean line: an oil and ester led emulsion rather than the line's cleansing water, foam or oil. Within the landed line records read, the lactobacillus soymilk ferment filtrate appears only here, while the soybean seed extract, centella and ceramide entries are shared with the line's cleansing water. The claims layer is thin: the removal and moisture percentages have no method, and the soy sourcing and fermentation story is not documented beyond brand and press copy.

What is in it?

Did the ad claims hold up?
