Discover Our Mineralizing Micellar Water

Micellar water is a solution that cleanses, removes make-up and tones your face. It is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive and it does not require any rinsing! These almost magical properties are based on micelles, small spherical molecular structures suspended in the product, which encapsulate the impurities that have accumulated on your face during the day.

Ladies, put on your biochemists' outfit because at the end of this paragraph, you will be true micelle water professionals!

In our case, a micelle is a grouping of molecules derived from glucose, which are organized into a sphere because of their behaviour towards water. Each glucose derivative is made up of an aqueous head (which has an affinity for water) and a hydrophobic tail (which has an affinity for fat).

When several of these molecules meet, they will arrange so that their hydrophilic heads are in contact and their hydrophobic tails are grouped opposite. One way to meet this condition is to form a sphere with all the hydrophilic heads on the surface and to put hydrophobic tails at the center of their sphere. As a result, the hydrophilic heads are happy to be in contact with the aqueous medium and the hydrophobic tails are protected from water, inside the sphere.

And this is where the magic of the micelle comes in, by taking this structure, the micelles go trap in their centers impurities, sebum, sweating and dead skin!
