My Fitbit recommends that the silicone strap be cleaned with “a non-soap cleanser, such as Cetaphil.” If it’s not soap, what is it? What makes it different from soap?

I don’t know the answer but I have thought about this before and I’d appreciate it if someone can tell me where/if I’m right and correct me where I’m wrong: soap is attracted to water and oil molecules, the two don’t usually mix so soap allows us to wash away oily residue with water. Pretty sure about that part, less so about this part. Lots of things have oil as a key ingredient. While a lot more stable than liquid oil, the soap still attaches to the occasional oil molecule, gradually wearing on the item over time.
