Micellar water (base) is a ready-to-use cosmetic product with a cleansing effect. Since the product is not a concentrate, it does not need to be diluted, but you can add additional ingredients that have a favourable effect on the skin. Thanks to the individual selection of ingredients, you will be able to provide complete skin care and cleanse pores. Our micellar base uses Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, an ultra-soft, non-ionogenic surfactant, which is even milder than glycerin. It is advisable to add extracts, essential oils and other additional components to micellar water (base). The product contains aloe extract, betaine and other components that soothe and soften the skin and also have a pleasant fragrance. Cosmetic features of the product Choosing micellar water, you should pay attention to the characteristics of the naturalness of the product. Our micellar water base includes the following components: Water about - 50-70%. Aloe extract with moisturising effect - 15-25%. Surfactant caprylic glycerides, which cleanses and softens the skin, gives it velvety - 5-10%. Glycerin evens out the colour - 5-10%. Antimicrobial components: sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate - 0,1-1%. Citric acid maintains acid and alkaline balance and is up to 1%. Betaine - an essential source of valuable amino acids, which improves the skin, smooths wrinkles and nourishes the inner layers of the dermis. It is contained in an amount of up to 1%. Micellar Water Properties Micellar water is a solution of water and a small amount of a mild surfactant that forms micelles. With a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail, it is with this tail that the micelle captures a particle of dirt or grease. To cleanse the skin, micelles do not embed themselves in the lipid layer as they do with aggressive surfactants. Therefore, the lipid layer of the epidermis remains intact. According to some experts, it is much safer to use quality water than alkaline products. Features of application The pH of the product is 4.5-5.5, and gram-negative bacteria are completely absent in the composition, which ensures the hypoallergenicity of micellar water. Store it in a tightly closed container in a dark place. How to prepare micellar water? Essential oils, fragrances and other ingredients should be mixed with micellar water at room temperature until homogeneous. However, additional ingredients should be added in the following amounts: Aqueous extracts and water-soluble actives - not more than 5%. Fatty oils and fat-soluble assets - not more than 0.1%. Essential oils and fragrances - 0.5-1%. To make this skin cleanser is very simple: Combine fragrances/essential oils, active ingredients with micellar water base at room temperature in a glass container or beaker. Fat-soluble components may detach if added to the recipe without solubiliser. Bring the product to a homogeneous consistency. Pour the ready micellar water through a filter into a bottle. Close with a convenient cap (flip-top or disc-top). You can introduce other ingredients, but it is absolutely necessary to test before use for skin reaction. Also, some ingredients can cloud the final product. All bases have been tested and verified for stability and suitability and are therefore completely safe.
