About Micellar Water Australia

Micellar Water Australia was born from a simple frustration: finding reliable, Australia-specific skincare information online was nearly impossible. Too many websites pushed products without understanding what Australian skin truly needs—from dealing with our intense UV exposure to navigating the dry outback climate or humid coastal conditions.

Our founding team came together in Sydney in 2024, united by a shared passion for skincare and a belief that everyone deserves access to clear, science-backed skincare education. We had all experienced the frustration of wasting money on products that did not work for us, following advice that led to irritation, or feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of options available.

What started as a focus on micellar water—the gentle, effective cleanser that had transformed our own routines—quickly expanded into a comprehensive skincare resource. We discovered that our readers wanted to understand not just which products to buy, but how skincare actually works. Why does double cleansing matter? What makes sensitive skin different? How should your routine change with the seasons?

Today, our team includes skincare editors, beauty contributors, and even a dermatology specialist who reviews our content for accuracy. Every article we publish goes through a rigorous editing process to ensure it meets our standards for clarity, accuracy, and practical usefulness.

We test products ourselves—not in a lab, but in real Australian conditions. We have trialled micellar waters at the beach, in the gym, during Sydney summers, and Melbourne winters. We know firsthand which products live up to their claims and which fall short.

Our commitment extends beyond just providing information. We actively engage with our community, answering questions and listening to feedback. When readers tell us they want to understand ingredients better, we write ingredient guides. When they ask about sensitive skin, we create specialised content for reactive skin types. This site is built for you, shaped by your needs.

Whether you are a skincare beginner just learning about cleansing or an experienced enthusiast looking to optimise your routine, we are here to help. We do not believe in gatekeeping knowledge or making skincare seem more complicated than it needs to be. Our goal is simple: help you understand your skin and give it exactly what it needs.
