What are the opinions on Typology's micellar water?

Hygiene is the first step in skin care. Therefore, the choice of cleansing product is crucial and can make all the difference. At Typology, we have developed a micellar water to gently and effortlessly cleanse the face, neck, lips and eyes, morning and evening. By utilising micelle technology, the surfactants contained in the formula (poloxamer 184) help to remove lipid residues and various daily impurities from the surface of the epidermis, all while maintaining the skin's hydration balance.

Formulated according to a physiological pH ranging between 4.8 and 5.3 to avoid disrupting the skin's protective barrier, our micellar water is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The rigorous selection of ingredients allows us to ensure an optimal tolerance. Indeed, during the design process, we took into account the discomforts that intolerant or reactive skin types may encounter.

Thus, micellar water has been developed according to our formulation charter which is strictly based on essential ingredients for the product's function, without any superfluous elements. Vegan, it isfree from alcohol, essential oils, and fragrance, it has a minimalist formula containing only seven ingredients, of which 96% are of natural origin.

Complete list of ingredients : Aqua (Water), Poloxamer 184, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Cetrimonium Bromide, Sodium Hydroxide.
