Join Belinda Carli, Director of the Institute of Personal Care Science and Cosmetic Formulator, as she shows you how to create 2 types of micellar water: one to remove water based make up and the other to remove oil based make-up. Micellar waters are all the rage and Belinda explains the key formulation differences between these product types as well as shows you how to create them with FREE formulas available!

Hi, thanks for the information. You added preservative to the water part but none to the lipids. Since they separate from each other, I wonder how the preservative in the water part works on the lipids.

[@angeladamico6426]

Great information. Thank you so much! I was curious why you choose poly 20 over poly 80 and if it makes a difference..

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

I personally find polysorbate 20 to work as the best solubilising agent - and that is really what you want - solubilised lipids and make up for good cleansing results. You could prepare samples with both and see which you prefer. I hope this helps.

I’m creating a more “natural” micellar water. What solubilizer would be appropriate?

[@austinsun5340]

You may give decyl glucoside a go :) PH of the overall system and the concentration of decyl glucoside might decide how translucent the final product is.

If I use DI water, I wouldn't have to use a chelating ingredient, correct?

Hmmm this is why i always choosed the DOUBLE METHOD CLEANSING at night with : CLEANSING MILK + First MICELLAR water & CLEANSING GEL .. These were the best way to removed make up & dirt on my face. But with the First MICELLAR WATER, I use a Caprylic trigliceride & sodium lactate .. those can be the subtitute ingrediants, right ??

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You'd need a volatile lipid in place of the caprylic/capric triglycerides otherwise it will feel very heavy/greasy. I have an organic micellar water with this option coming out this friday, please subscribe to be notified when its released! Happy formulating!

[@MH-id8ss]

but how you will be able to protect the colour from changing?

[@belindacarli821]

You need to select oil compatible but light stable colourants. There are some colourants that are more light stable than others. Hope this helps, Belinda

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You can study with us to learn about light stable colourants, we provide this information in our Colour Cosmetic Certificate program along with other crucial colourant information. Contact us to find out more about the courses: [e-mail] to get thorough learning. Happy formulating!

Thanks Belinda

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You are so welcome!

[@angeladamico6426]

In the two-phase you mentioned the large amt of volatile silicone and also the lipid. Would one be able to use Cyclomethicone and a light wgt plant oil with a long shelf life?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Just remember the more 'weighty' the plant oil, the more residue the consumer will feel on their skin after wash off. There is no solubiliser in this formula, so it relies on the volatile silicone to evaporate excess lipid from the skin so it doesn't leave oily residue. If you are going to add a plant oil then make sure you prepare samples and trial it to get the residual skin feel right.

[@z.deutch1334]

Can I skip the EDTA if I use distilled water?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

The EDTA helps support the preservative - you could leave it out just check preservative performance.

Which type of the 2 micellar water is more suitable for Mineral type sunscreen removal? No make up but just daily serum+ cream + sunscreen + may reapply 1-2 times more sunscreen if I am under the sun for long hours.

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Hi, it depends on if the product is oil based (ie w/o emulsion) or water based (o/w emulsion). Many sunscreens are w/o emulsions, so they take the two phase product to remove. You can find out if a product is oil or water based by adding half a teaspoon to a cup of water and stirring - if it disperses easily and turns the water milky, it is a water based emulsion (o/w); but if it sticks in clumps or drops in the water (ie clumps rather than smooth and milky looking) then it is oil based (w/o). Hope this helps.

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Nononononono it is nothing like rubbing alcohol. They can effectively clean skin and depending on the formula, they can remove make up effectively too.

[@WingedMatchbox]

Where do I purchase EDTA???

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You'll need to contact your local supplier for that type of material. Many small soap suppliers or craft suppliers will have EDTA or contact the larger chemical suppliers for bulk purchases. It is region specific so you'll need to find local chemical suppliers or if purchasing for home crafting, there are lots of small soap suppliers that could supply this for you - try online. If you are a student with us we can provide you with links but not to general public. Happy formulating!

Hi Sheryl, it depends on what your market requirement is, which is why the 2 different types exist. I wanted to show both to help also explain the difference, hope this helps.
