Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

What is this product?
A soybean-themed cleansing water whose surfactant base is built from gentle polyglyceryl esters, with soothing centella, ceramides and hyaluronic acid placed in the later half of the list. It suits sensitive or dehydrated skin looking for a mild, fragrance-free cleanse.
What makes it different?
The cleansing base uses seven polyglyceryl esters including Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate and Polyglyceryl-6 Ricinoleate rather than harsher surfactants. A ceramide complex (NP, NG, NS, AP, AS, EOP) plus cholesterol and phytosphingosine sits near the end, which is unusual depth for a cleansing water. The namesake soybean extract is printed at 0.1ppm, so it is a theme ingredient more than a functional one. No fragrance or essential oils appear in the list, and there are no drying alcohols.
