Adding to Encapsulated Micellar Cleansing Water

The product "Encapsulated Micellar Cleansing Water (e.q. Bioderma) (10:1)" is designed with specific technology (encapsulation) and a carefully selected preservative system to ensure it is very mild and does not irritate the eyes. It is a concentrate that needs to be mixed with purified water at a 1:10 ratio before use.

While it might be technically possible to add other substances like colors, fragrances, or certain active ingredients, doing so carries risks:

• Compromising Mildness: Adding ingredients could potentially disrupt the delicate balance of the formula or interfere with the encapsulation, leading to increased irritation, especially eye irritation, which the base is specifically formulated to avoid.
• Stability Issues: The added ingredients might not be compatible with the base formula, leading to separation, cloudiness, or reduced shelf life.
• Reduced Efficacy: Some ingredients might interfere with the cleansing efficiency of the micellar system.

Therefore, while you can attempt to add ingredients for uniqueness, it is not recommended without thorough testing for compatibility, stability, and irritation (especially eye irritation). The base is optimized for its specific mild and effective cleansing properties. If you choose to add something, start with very small amounts and test extensively.
