They consist of a ‘water-loving’ (hydrophilic) and a ‘fat-loving’ (lipophilic) part. For micelles to be formed, there needs to be a certain amount of surface tension reducing compounds called surfactants. When this happens, the molecules within the liquid begin to rearrange themselves and form what we know as micelles. Micelles act like a magnet. They attract dirt, make-up, sebum and other impurities. The secret is in their structure. Micelles are soft on the outside and strong on the inside. The ‘water-loving’, outer part lets the micelles stick to the wipe, while the ‘fat-loving’ centre attracts and binds impurities.
