LastObject Micellar Water

LastObject’s Micellar Water is presented as a powder formulation that’s mixed with water before use, in its accompanying refillable bottle. The product contains natural sugars, amino acid, a hyaluronic acid derivative, and glycerin, which combined help to cleanse the skin, while niacinamide evens skin tone and boosts its barrier. With a pH of 5.5, it’s suitable for sensitive skin. To use, water is added to the powder, shaken for 30 seconds, and then left for 30 minutes to create the micellar water. Due to its waterless formulation, the product weighs around 90% less than traditional liquid micellar waters, which means it reduces the CO2 emissions generated during transport by around 80%.

Claims & Benefits
LastObjects Micellar Water isn't just about skincare; it's about skin-love and planet-love. Our micellar water weighs ~90% less than most other liquid micellar water because we removed the water. Therefore it also saves up to ~80 % of CO2 emissions during transport when you purchase a refill-powder-sachet. Redefine your makeup routine and transform it into a conscious, mindful ritual that respects your skin and our planet. Our micellar water is carefully formulated as concentrated powders, designed to deliver all the benefits you seek from your skincare routine, minus the hidden environmental costs. You have to add water & shake it - but it's a small price to pay.

What sets your product apart and why is it innovative?
As far as we know this is the worlds first powder to liquid Micellar water. We didn’t want to compromise with the quality, which is why our new line of products has been in development for 2 full years, but the hard work and patience finally paid off. We wanted a product that was just as good as the best liquid version on the market and believe we achieved just that with the help of a Danish beauty expert and hundreds of samples, but don’t just take our word for it, test it.

We strive to make the best refillable products in the world, that look & feel just like the single-use version they are replacing. We are super proud of our Vegan, Dermatologically tested, Allergy Certified, perfume-free micellar water. We have made it in a beautiful subtle design and high-quality materials thereby making them last a long time and saving the world from single-use plastic bottles that might otherwise end up in a landfill.
