ma:nyo Pure Soybean Cleansing Water is a vegan, mildly acidic micellar water with four cica components — 500ml of low-friction cleansing built for skin that reacts to almost everything.
Six plant-derived surfactants
Upgraded from four to six, in varying particle sizes. More sizes means micelles form faster and lift different kinds of residue — base makeup, fine dust, the day’s general grime.
Non-ionic surfactants for mildness
Surfactants without an electrical charge are generally among the milder options, which is why they appear in formulas aimed at sensitive skin. Here they’re the reason a cleansing water can be thorough and gentle at once.
Four cica components plus centella extract
Madecassic acid, madecassoside, asiaticoside and asiatic acid — the four compounds centella asiatica is known for. Madecassoside in particular is one of the ingredients gaining attention in 2026 for calming stressed-looking skin.
Mildly acidic, barrier-friendly
Skin sits naturally on the acidic side, and a cleanser formulated near that range leaves the surface settled rather than stripped.
Saturate the pad, press, don’t rub
A dry cotton pad dragging across skin is worse than no cleansing at all. Soak it properly, hold it in place for a few seconds, then wipe gently.
Rinse afterwards where you can
Cleansing water leaves a light surfactant residue behind. Rinsing removes it — worth doing at night even when the bottle says you don’t have to.
This one or the original Sensitive?
Both are 500ml micellar waters for reactive skin. This is the vegan, soybean-and-cica version; the Pure Cleansing Water Sensitive is the original formula. Choose by ingredient preference.
