Micellar Cleansing
Micellar Technology is recognized as the gentlest way to cleanse your skin, by dermatologists worldwide. What is this technology? How is this super gentle on the skin? We’re here to answer all your questions!
Water alone cannot take away all the impurities that settle into your skin after a day full day of work and travel! You encounter a lot of environmental stressors, pollutants, and aggressors, and they all are so fine and minute that we don't notice when they settle onto our skin. But they're there - trying to find a way to get into our skin, and fighting with our natural barriers! That's why cleansers contain surfactants so that they can take away dirt and impurities. But there is a very large array of surfactants - some might be unsuitable, or too aggressive for your skin. They interact with multiple components of your skin - so they are sometimes abrasive on your skin. This way of cleansing is sometimes as bad as not cleansing your skin at all!
The name micellar comes from the particles that make up the cleaning components - micelle! It is made of a little head and tail. The head is hydrophilic ie. it loves water and the tail is lipophilic ie. it loves oil! When these little lollipop-like particles come into contact with your skin, the tails grab onto trapped oil and dirt. When you wash your face, the water-loving head tags on to water molecules, and takes the dirt and oil away with them! This is how it does maximum cleaning and hydration without the squeaky dry feeling.
It acts like a magnet for all the dirt and impurities, and is much more gentle than the traditional cleansing methods that strip off the moisture from the skin! This dual-action relationship between oil and water transforms these old processes and changes our idea of what clean skin feels like. These particles respect your skin’s natural barrier. They don’t harm your skin barrier or your skin biome and therefore ensure that your skin remains healthy!
Did you know that the micelles even take away the oily sebum that they find on your skin? It cleans your skin smartly!
