Micellar water has become a staple in many skincare routines because it gently cleanses and refreshes the skin without the need for rinsing.
It removes makeup, dirt, and oils, leaving your face feeling clean and revitalized. While convenient, many store-bought micellar waters contain synthetic ingredients that may not be the best for your skin.
With Simply Earth’s Rose Glow Micellar Water, you can create your own natural, nourishing version right at home. Infused with soothing Rose Geranium Essential Oil and Rose Hydrosol, this DIY recipe provides a gentle cleanse that hydrates, balances, and leaves your skin glowing. Perfect for all skin types, this easy-to-make micellar water is a refreshing and healthy alternative to commercial products.
What In This Natural Micellar Water Recipe?
Foam Boost (Cocamidopropyl Betaine)
Foam Boost is a gentle, surfactant-based ingredient that creates a mild foaming action, helping to lift and remove dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin without stripping it of its natural moisture. It’s perfect for creating a light, non-drying cleanse.
Natural Solubilizer
Natural Solubilizer allows essential oils to mix smoothly with water, ensuring that the oils are evenly dispersed in the formula. It helps create a more stable, consistent product that delivers the full benefits of the essential oils without any separation.
Rose Geranium Essential Oil
Known for its soothing and balancing properties, Rose Geranium Essential Oil helps calm irritated skin, regulate oil production, and promote an even skin tone. It also gives this micellar water a lovely floral scent, adding a touch of luxury to your skincare routine.
Geogard ECT Preservative
Geogard ECT Preservative is a gentle, eco-friendly preservative that protects the product from microbial growth, ensuring that your micellar water stays safe to use over time.
Aloe Vera
This soothing plant extract hydrates and calms the skin, reducing inflammation and redness. Aloe Vera is well-known for its skin-healing properties, making it ideal for sensitive or irritated skin.
Rose Hydrosol
A natural byproduct of distilling rose petals, Rose Hydrosol hydrates and tones the skin while providing a subtle floral aroma. It’s known for its ability to balance the skin’s pH, reduce redness, and promote a healthy glow.
Vegetable Glycerin
A humectant that attracts moisture to the skin, Vegetable Glycerin helps keep the skin soft and hydrated. It locks in moisture, leaving the skin feeling smooth and plump after use.
Distilled Water
The base of this natural micellar water, distilled water provides a pure, clean medium for the other ingredients to dissolve into. It ensures that the formula remains gentle and non-irritating on the skin.
