Micellar water was born out of a problem. French tap water runs hard, and hard water strips and irritates skin. Pharmacists solved this with a water-based cleanser that lifts makeup and dirt yet is gentle enough to skip the rinse. That pharmacy fix is now one of the most reached-for products in beauty routines across the globe.
In this formula, we'll show you how to make a micellar water with jasmine and aloe. Fragrant jasmine hydrosol gives the base its floral character, aloe juice adds a soothing, calming layer, and saffron extract steps in as the antioxidant active. It's a formula worth trying if you want a first look at working with surfactants.
