What Is Micellar Water?

Micellar (pronounced my-sell-ar) water is a combination of purified water, moisturizers, and mild cleansers. The name comes from the French word micelle, which is a collection of molecules. And, really, that's exactly what micellar water is a collection of microscopic cleansing bubbles suspended in water. The bubbles are so small that micellar water doesn't feel like a soapy solution. It just feels like water. Plus, micellar water doesn't contain harsh chemicals like parabens, phthalate, and phenoxyethanol is fragrance-free, and is the perfect way to quick-clean normal, sensitive, and dry skin.

Do I Need To Rinse Off After Using Micellar Water?

No, you do not need to rinse skin after cleaning up with micellar water. Unlike soaps and other cleansers, micellar water doesn't leave behind a film or residue of any kind. So, you can wipe your baby's (or your) hands and face and not have to worry about being near a sink or bathtub to rinse off. That makes micellar water one of the best ways to clean up on the go or anytime, for that matter.

Can I Use Micellar Water On My Newborn?

Most micellar water products are safe for newborns and children of all ages. Using micellar water is a great way to gently clean your little one's hands, face, body, and diaper area without worrying about drying out their skin or having to rinse off with regular water afterward. Micellar water is even safe to use on dry and sensitive skin and gently removes many of the environmental triggers like dust, dirt, and allergens that can damage your baby's skin and lead to discomfort and irritation. That being said, always read the label of any skincare product you're going to use on your baby.

Is Micellar Water Good For Removing Makeup?

Micellar water is great for removing makeup from adult skin! The mild cleansers in micellar water gently dissolve the bonds that keep makeup on your skin so you don't have to scrub and scrub to get everything off. To remove makeup, apply a pump or two of micellar water onto a cotton swab, soft cotton cloth, or reusable wipe. Gently wipe your face and hands to remove makeup, dirt, and dust in one fell swoop. Repeat with a fresh swab or cloth as necessary.

How Do I Use Micellar Water?

Using micellar water is super easy. Here are the steps: • Apply a pump or two of micellar water to a cotton pad, soft cloth, or reusable wipe. • Gently wipe your or your child's face and body. That's it! There's no need to rinse with water. Just a quick clean-up without all the muss and fuss. Mustela's Organic Micellar Water with Olive Oil and Aloe can be used to wipe baby's face and hands after meals, to keep them clean in-between baths or on the go, to remove mom's makeup, or anytime your little one gets a bit messy.

What's In Mustela's Organic Micellar Water with Olive Oil and Aloe?

Our Organic Micellar Water with Olive Oil and Aloe is crafted with only eight ingredients 99.7% of which are naturally derived including organic aloe vera and organic olive oil sourced from family-owned olive groves in the South of France. To ensure the potency and skin-nourishing properties of the olive oil in our Organic Micellar Water with Olive Oil and Aloe, mature olives are put through a cold-press extraction process. In this process, the olives aren't subjected to high levels of heat that can affect the molecular structure and the benefits of the resulting oil.

Is Mustela's Organic Micellar Water with Olive Oil and Aloe Environmentally Friendly?

Yes, our Organic Micellar Water with Olive Oil and Aloe is environmentally friendly both inside and out. Our formula is composed of 99.7% ingredients of natural origin per ISO 16128 standard. And all of the packaging is made from sustainably sourced sugar cane so you don't have to worry about adding to the burden in your local landfill. Plus, Mustela is committed to full transparency, so our Organic Micellar Water with Olive Oil and Aloe meets the Environmental Working Group's (EWG) Verified™ criteria and avoids their ingredients of concern.
