Servings: 1 bottle
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup rose water (or distilled water)
- 1/2 tsp vegetable glycerin
- 1/2 tsp propanediol
- 1/2 tsp Poly Suga Mulse D9
- 1 tsp Leucidal Liquid SF
Optional
- 1 tbsp organic witch hazel extract
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Supplies
- swing top glass bottle
- organic unbleached cotton pads Muji’s are the best!
Instructions
- As always, clean and fully sterilize your glass bottle and measuring tools with the method of your choice.
- In your swing top bottle, combine your rose water or distilled water with your propanediol, Poly Suga Mulse D9 and vegetable glycerin. Swirl gently to combine.
- Add your witch hazel extract and apple cider vinegar, if desired.
- Add Leucidal Liquid SF or preservative of choice. Swirl gently once more to disperse.
Notes
If you'd rather not use propanediol, you can replace it with an extra 1/2 tsp of vegetable glycerin. This should not affect the efficacy of your DIY micellar water, but it may give the formula a stickier feel.
Don’t fret about the alcohol in the witch hazel extract! Rose water and vegetable glycerin hydrate your skin and keep the witch hazel from being too drying. As a result, your skin is left clean without feeling tight or stripped.
