Why cleansing goes wrong

Most irritation starts at the sink.

Cleansing is the step you repeat most, twice a day, every day. Strong detergents, hot water and hard rubbing take away the oils your skin needs, which is why many people feel tight and dry straight after washing.

Micellar water takes a gentler route. Tiny clusters of mild cleansing agents pick up makeup, oil and sunscreen residue on a cotton pad, with no foam, no hot water and no rubbing.

How it works

Micelles, explained

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside · Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate

Cleansing agents have a water-loving end and an oil-loving end. In water they gather into tiny clusters called micelles, with the oil-loving ends tucked inside. Drawn across your skin on a cotton pad, they pick up oil, makeup and the day's grime.

Ours are two non-ionic agents: caprylyl/capryl glucoside, made from plant sugar and fatty alcohols, and polyglyceryl-4 caprate. In patch-test research, glucoside-type cleansers irritated skin less than sulfates. Betaine and glycerin keep the skin comfortable afterwards.

The research

What studies show about each ingredient.

These studies test an ingredient, usually in a different product. They explain why each ingredient is in this micellar water. They are not results for this product.

Glucoside cleansers

Löffler & Happle, 2003 · Contact Dermatitis
What was tested

Healthy volunteers were patch tested with sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate and an alkyl polyglucoside.

What they found

The alkyl polyglucoside caused the least irritation of the three.

What it doesn't prove

The detergents were tested alone, not in a finished cleanser like ours.

Betaine

Nicander et al., 2003 · Skin Research and Technology
What was tested

Volunteers' skin was exposed to detergent solutions with and without added betaine, then checked by eye, under the microscope and with skin instruments.

What they found

Adding betaine reduced the irritation the detergents caused.

What it doesn't prove

A test of detergent solutions. Our betaine percentage isn't published.

Aloe vera

Dal'Belo et al., 2006 · Skin Research and Technology
What was tested

20 women used creams with 0.10–0.50% freeze-dried aloe on the forearm daily for two weeks.

What they found

Every aloe concentration raised the water content of the skin's outer layer.

What it doesn't prove

A small forearm study of a cream. It says nothing about lines or cleansing.

Camomile

Srivastava, Shankar & Gupta, 2010 · Molecular Medicine Reports (review)
What was tested

A review of research on camomile, most of it in the lab or taken as a tea.

What they found

Camomile contains flavonoids such as apigenin that calm inflammation in lab studies.

What it doesn't prove

Little of the research is on skin, and people allergic to the daisy family can react to it.
