What do you suppose this is? I just saw a segment on our local news featuring a sort of local maker. Her labels said "made with pH adjusted beauty water". Is it just a label appeal thing?? I'm stumped
"pH adjusted beauty water"

You could say the same about your soap. Aren’t we all careful to formulate a soap that is safe for skin and hence “pH adjusted”?
Hi! I would guess they are referring to a more alkaline water in their product, which is being marketed as super healthy for drinking (I have no opinion on it I just noticed alkaline water being sold.)
I googled "beauty water" and found this product -- Son & Park Cleansing Beauty Water and Skin Toner
It looks like a water-based toner and very mild cleanser made with rose hydrosol, witch hazel, and a huge list of minor ingredients including EOs, a dash of detergent and solubilizer, and preservative.
They tout the product as being pH adjusted -- "..Beauty Water has a pH of 4.5, effectively resetting the skin's natural pH after cleansing. ..." The citric acid near the end of the list would accomplish that.
Maybe the local maker is doing a riff on this type of product?
Ingredients in the commercial product --

I suppose, but beauty water? I'm thinking label appeal. She also stated (in the segment) that SF was all the extra goodies she adds to make the soap more beneficial to your skin (or something along those lines). I'm too honest to sell soap. LOL I don't like to be BS'd, so I don't like to do it to others. So much for my business/marketing career
Whoa!!! Imagine that soap bar label!
I can't be sure, but I think they might have forgotten the kitchen sink. Also, what would that even smell like?
From that list, it seems like it would smell pretty nice. Bergamot, which I love, is high on the list, but so many of those oils and extracts are ones I really very much enjoy. It looks almost like a list of ingredients in a perfume is incorporated with the other ingredients.
