What is micellar water and how do micelles work?
Micellar water is unique because it contains small particles, so-called micelles. In 1985, BIODERMA clinical research specialists, in partnership with dermatology experts, created the first micellar water in the world – Sensibio H 2 O, which has become a beauty icon and an absolute daily necessity for users of all ages. BIODERMA micellar waters are more than just a simple cleanser; they have excellent efficacy and tolerance, and provide long-lasting care for the skin. BIODERMA innovation – micellar technology is based on very high-quality micelles, formed from a single gentle non-ionic surfactant – glycerol ester, whose structure was inspired by the cellular lipids present in the skin. Being in perfect harmony with the skin, the ester maintains the stability of the skin ecosystem and respects the hydrolipid layer and the integrity of the intercellular connective tissue (non-detergent principle). So BIODERMA micellar water is completely compatible with the skin and acts like a magnet, collecting all the excess from the skin: excess sebum, dead skin cells, pollution particles and make-up.
How to choose the right micellar water?
A properly selected micellar water does not dry out the skin. Care should be taken to ensure that the substances contained in micellar water preserve and restore the skin's protective layer, which is damaged by hard tap water. The ease of use of micellar water is adapted to daily hygiene. You can use micellar water in the evenings to ensure complete cleansing: from decorative cosmetics, particles of environmental pollution and particles of biological metabolism: sebum, toxins released during sweating and dead cells, and in the morning to prolong the natural biological functions of the skin and help it get rid of toxins released during the night. Micellar water also eliminates pollution particles that have been in the indoor air and accumulated on the skin. BIODERMA micellar waters do not need to be rinsed off - this is an advantage that eliminates the risk of bacterial contamination due to potentially contaminated water. Thanks to strictly selected ingredients, any traces of the product that remain on the skin do not pose a risk of weakening the skin: all ingredients are found in popular skin care products.
