Derma Calm Micellar Cleansing Water
A one-step micellar water for daily base makeup and sunscreen, built without alcohol or added fragrance so it holds up to the twice-daily removal habit common in hot, humid markets. The surfactant level is kept deliberately low, which is what lets a no-rinse product stay comfortable on skin.

Key Active Ingredients
How the Active Ingredients Work
A no-rinse micellar system paired with humectants and soothing agents. The system below is our standard ODM baseline, adjustable for your target market and price point.
Micellar Surfactant System low-level cleansing system
Mild non-ionic surfactants that group into micelles in water, with the oil-attracting side facing inward. Wiped across skin, those micelles pull makeup and sunscreen into their cores instead of stripping the skin's own lipids. Because this product is not rinsed off, the surfactant level has to stay low by design — push it up for faster removal and you leave residue that stings around the eyes.
Glycerin humectant
The workhorse humectant. In a no-rinse format it stays on skin after cleansing, which offsets the mild tightness that any surfactant leaves behind.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice supporting soothing agent
A recognisable botanical for a calming positioning, contributing polysaccharides that add slip to the wipe. Its main commercial value here is label recognition in Southeast Asian markets rather than measurable activity at use level.
Panthenol supporting conditioning agent
Provitamin B5, included at a supporting level to improve the after-feel on skin that gets cleansed twice a day. Water-soluble, so it stays stable in a simple aqueous system without needing an antioxidant package.

Launch-fit guide
Who This Product Is Built For
Entry-price hero SKUs
Micellar water is usually the highest-volume item in a cleansing range because it gets repurchased faster than any other step. That makes it the natural first SKU for a new brand testing a market.
Hot, humid market routines
Sunscreen reapplication through the day means removal happens more than once, and a no-rinse format is what makes that practical. This is why micellar water behaves as a year-round staple in Southeast Asia rather than a seasonal item.
Sensitive-skin and no-fragrance positioning
With no alcohol and no added fragrance, the formula suits brands that need to hold a gentle claim without moving to a premium price band.
Planning Your Derma Calm Micellar Cleansing Water 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
- List the daily foundation, sunscreen and cotton-pad references, with the acceptable residue and wiping effort.
- Define face-only or proposed eye/lip use, and whether a separate version needs its own brief.
- Select flip-cap or press-pump dispensing and specify pad wetting, accidental oversupply and travel-leak expectations.
Quality and testing plan
Use the listed light-makeup products to agree removal and after-feel acceptance criteria for intended no-rinse use. Include dispenser delivery and leakage in the final-pack review; identify routine QC records separately from any sensitive-skin or eye-use study, with costs and report responsibility confirmed in the quotation.
Market and claims checkpoints
- Alcohol-free or fragrance-free composition alone does not substantiate sensitive-skin or eye-area tolerance; approve wording against the agreed evidence.
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.
Can you make it strong enough for waterproof makeup?
Not in this formula, and that is deliberate. Raising the surfactant level far enough to break down waterproof mascara turns a no-rinse product into one that needs rinsing, which defeats the format. For heavy or waterproof makeup we would point you to a bi-phase version or a cleansing oil instead, and many brands carry both.
Is it safe to use around the eyes?
The base is built to be low-sting, but a dedicated eye and lip version with an adjusted surfactant blend is the better route if eye use is a headline claim. We can sample both so your own panel can compare.
Can we add actives like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid?
Yes, and it is a common request. Be aware of the trade-off: anything you add to a no-rinse cleanser gets wiped off with the cotton pad, so the marketing value usually outruns the functional value. We will tell you honestly which additions earn their cost in this format.
