Apple Chamomile Micellar Water

[ all skin types ]

STEP 1: CLEANSE
Micellar water is a no-rinse makeup remover and cleanser that cleanses, soothes and refreshes skin in just one step.

Apple and chamomile hydrosols soothe skin. Horse chestnut, celebrated for its ability to repair damaged skin and decrease redness, leaves you feeling calm and fresh.

First, let’s start with the adorable word “micelle”: a tiny oil molecule. To become micellar water, insoluble micelles are added to water. There, they form a colloidal substance - meaning they’re so small, buoyant, and numerous that they can remain evenly dispersed throughout the water. This is how the oil molecules remain integrated, instead of separating as oil would normally do when added to water.

Within a colloidal substance, micelles are able to then be applied as microscopic surfactants, where they can deeply cleanse a porous surface like your skin. These tiny oil molecules are attracted to bits of dirt, oil, and makeup on your skin. Micelles bond with these impurities and carry them off of the skin as their colloid counterpart (water) rinses them away.

Micelles are considered to be more gentle than chemical surfactants, which can strip and dry your skin. These impressive little molecules are small enough to grab the tiniest bits of debris, while simultaneously providing ample moisturization to skin. Essentially, micellar waters are made to deeply cleanse, hydrate and moisturize - all in one step.

DIRECTIONS: Pour onto cloth pad until fully saturated. Gently wipe pad across face to cleanse and remove makeup. Follow with your favorite serum and moisturizer.

TIP: For a deeper (double) cleanse, follow with Apple Chamomile Cleansing Gel.
