Formulation view Minimalist micellar water with only 7 ingredients. Water-based, with Poloxamer 184 as the primary cleanser, plus glycerin and pentylene glycol for hydration. Cetrimonium bromide acts as preservative and antimicrobial, noting its restrictions in eye products. Citric acid and sodium hydroxide adjust pH. Simple formula without fragrance or color, ideal for sensitive skin seeking transparency. Gentle cleaning power relies on physical wiping, with limited efficacy on waterproof makeup.
