Deep Cleansing Micellar Water (Waterproof Makeup)
A reinforced micellar water aimed at waterproof mascara, long-wear foundation and water-resistant sunscreen. Removal power comes from adding a mild solvent stage to the micellar system rather than simply raising the surfactant level, which is what keeps the after-feel tolerable on a product used around the eyes.

Key Active Ingredients
How the Active Ingredients Work
A stronger removal system built for long-wear cosmetics, balanced with humectants and a soothing extract. The system below is our standard ODM baseline, adjustable for your target market and price point.
Enhanced Micellar Surfactant System reinforced cleansing system
A higher-capacity surfactant blend than a standard micellar water carries. The reason it is needed: waterproof makeup is built on film formers designed to resist water, so a purely water-based micelle cannot get underneath the film. Capacity is raised to the point where removal works in one or two wipes, because repeated rubbing around the eye area causes more irritation than the surfactant itself.
Gentle Solvents co-solvent stage
A small solvent fraction that swells and loosens the film formers in long-wear makeup so the micelles can lift them away. This is the part that does the heavy work on waterproof mascara. We keep the fraction as low as the removal target allows, since solvent load is what drives the dry after-feel that makes customers abandon a remover.
Glycerin humectant
Included at a higher level than in a basic micellar water, specifically to counteract the tightness that comes with stronger removal. In this format the humectant is not a marketing addition; it is what makes the product repurchasable.
Chamomilla Recutita Extract supporting soothing agent
A chamomile extract for a calming label story on a product used on the thin skin around the eyes. Realistically it supports positioning rather than delivering measurable activity at use level, and we would rather say so than overstate it.
Formulation & Customization Options
| Service model | OEM custom development or ODM on our tested high-removal base |
| Adjustable actives | Surfactant capacity and solvent fraction (tuned to your removal target); humectant loading; extract choice |
| Format variants | Single-phase or bi-phase oil-water separation version — the bi-phase format visibly signals removal strength on shelf and needs a shake before use |
| Packaging | Industry-standard formats supported — PET bottle 250ml with flip cap, or dual-layer bottle for the bi-phase version; sachet and pump also available |
| Certifications | ISO 22716, GMPC; SGS testing supported upon request. Halal, COSMOS and vegan-positioned formulations can be scoped to your requirement — tell us the destination market and we will confirm what is achievable for your specification |
| Regulatory alignment | Preservative system and claim wording confirmed against your destination market rules per order |
Launch-fit guide
Who This Product Is Built For
Colour cosmetics brands extending into skincare
If your range already sells waterproof mascara or long-wear foundation, a matched remover is the lowest-friction skincare SKU to add. The removal claim is specific and testable against your own products.
Heavy-makeup and eyeliner users
This is a defined shopper, not a broad one. They already know standard micellar water fails on their makeup, which makes the removal claim the whole selling proposition.
Brands needing a two-tier cleansing range
Pairing a gentle daily micellar water with a reinforced version lets one brand cover both routines without either SKU compromising. We can build both on aligned bases so the range reads as a system.
Planning Your Deep Cleansing Micellar Water (Waterproof Makeup) Project
What to prepare before quotation and sampling, which checks are part of routine manufacturing, and which items are confirmed separately for this product type.
What to include in your brief
- Supply the actual waterproof mascara, eyeliner, long-wear foundation and sunscreen references, ranked by removal priority.
- Choose single-phase or bi-phase sampling and define permitted residue, pad contact and wiping effort.
- Specify intended facial, eye and lip areas, plus shaking instructions and bottle closure expectations.
Quality and testing plan
Agree a repeatable removal comparison on those cosmetics, with pass criteria set before approval. For bi-phase packs, include remixing, separation and delivery checks; scope any eye-area assessment independently from routine QC, with quotation coverage and report responsibility recorded.
Market and claims checkpoints
- Limit waterproof-removal claims to the tested references and conditions; eye-area tolerance or professional-testing statements need their own supporting reports.
Pricing and testing scope depend on the final formula, packaging, quantity and destination market.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOQ and lead time?
MOQ is 3,000 bottles per SKU, produced in 35–45 days after sample approval. Custom sample rounds take 2–3 weeks.
Single-phase or bi-phase — which should we choose?
Bi-phase separates visibly in the bottle, which reads as strength on shelf and generally removes waterproof mascara faster. The cost is that customers must shake it, and some read separation as a defect. Single-phase is simpler to use and easier to photograph. We can sample both and let your own panel decide.
How do you verify it actually removes waterproof makeup?
During sampling we test against the specific products your customers use, because removal performance depends on which film formers those cosmetics contain. Send us the mascara and foundation you want it to beat and we will tune the solvent fraction to that target rather than to a generic benchmark.
Will a stronger formula irritate the eye area?
It is the real trade-off in this category, and we will not pretend otherwise. Our approach is to raise removal capacity enough that one or two wipes suffice, since prolonged rubbing usually causes more irritation than the formula does. Ophthalmologist testing can be arranged if you want to carry that claim.
