What even is a Micelle?

  • A ball shaped molecule made up of many surfactant molecules
  • A molecule that can absorb sebum and various oils on your skin.
  • They are positioned with the water-loving head of the molecule on the outside and oil-loving tail of the molecule positioned inwards so they are further from the water they resist.

How do I use it?

  • Use a cotton pad/ball and apply to face
  • When the product hits the cotton the water-loving head sticks to the cotton and the oil-loving tail is sticking up (allowing make-up/oils to be collected on the cotton)
