Key Information
What BIODERMA Says
Product Description:
A soothing micellar water for sensitive skin, effectively removing makeup and impurities. At the cutting edge of innovation, BIODERMA has pioneered micellar solutions. Specially formulated for sensitive, normal to dry skins, the Sensibio H2O micelle solution gently cleanses face and eyes. It removes water-resistant make-up. The micelles contained in its formula effectively micro-emulsify impurities while maintaining the skinโs balance (soap-free, physiological pH). Soothing and decongesting active ingredients prevent the feelings of irritation often caused by cleansing. Sensibio H2O guarantees excellent cutaneous and ocular tolerance (tested under ophthalmological supervision).

Ingredients Details
Fructooligosaccharides
Common Name(s): Fos,oligofructose,short-chain inulin
CAS Number: 308066-66-2
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides rapid-acting prebiotic microbiome support with humectant conditioning from short-chain fructan oligomers.
Why It's Used: Fast-acting prebiotic for rapid microbiome support โ fos's shorter chain length provides faster fermentation by beneficial bacteria vs long-chain inulin, enabling quicker microbiome compositional shifts.
How It Works: Dp 2-10 fructooligomers (vs inulin's dp 10-60) provide more rapid access to bacterial fermentation enzymes. higher water solubility and humectant activity than long-chain inulin. more bioavailable to skin surface bacteria vs longer-chain inulin that penetrates deeper before fermentation.
Typically Found In: Prebiotic skin care,rapid microbiome support products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ short-chain prebiotic
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.5%โ5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from sucrose enzymatic synthesis or inulin hydrolysis
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Fos's shorter chain length provides different prebiotic kinetics vs long-chain inulin: short-chain fos (dp 2-5) is fermented within 12-24 hours by surface bacteria, while long-chain inulin (dp 10-60) ferments over 48-72 hours. this temporal difference enables formulation of 'fast-acting' (fos) vs 'sustained-release' (inulin) prebiotic products with different microbiome support kinetics.

Mannitol
Common Name(s): D-mannitol,manna sugar,mannite
CAS Number: 69-65-8
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides exceptional hydroxyl radical scavenging antioxidant protection alongside humectant moisture retention.
Why It's Used: Used for potent hydroxyl radical scavenging where standard antioxidants (tocopherol, ascorbic acid) are less effective, combined with humectant activity.
How It Works: 6 hydroxyl groups provide both water binding (humectant) and direct hydroxyl radical (.oh) scavenging. hydroxyl radicals are the most reactive and damaging free radicals โ mannitol is one of few compounds that scavenges them directly.
Typically Found In: Antioxidant formulations,premium moisturizers,protective skincare
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ sugar alcohol / free radical scavenger
Secondary Functions: Free radical scavenger,superior antioxidant
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ10%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ plant-derived or synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Plant-derived from ash tree manna, seaweed, mushrooms, or produced by reduction of mannose. gras food-approved.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Mannitol's rate constant for hydroxyl radical scavenging (k = 1.4 ร 10^7 m^-1s^-1) makes it one of the most effective biological hydroxyl radical scavengers. this is important because hydroxyl radicals cannot be scavenged by standard antioxidants like tocopherol or ascorbic acid.

Rhamnose
Common Name(s): Rhamnose,cosmetic active,established function
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Delivers characteristic cosmetic function โ skin conditioning, antioxidant protection, active biological benefit, or formulation function โ at recommended use concentration.
Why It's Used: Selected for functional contribution and formulation compatibility supported by cosmetic science and regulatory safety data.

Xylitol
Common Name(s): Xylit,birch sugar,xylite
CAS Number: 87-99-0
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides anticaries activity by starving cariogenic bacteria alongside humectant moisture retention.
Why It's Used: The anticaries sweetener โ xylitol's non-fermentability by s. mutans prevents acid production from sugar metabolism for comprehensive caries prevention.
How It Works: S. mutans transports xylitol into cell via glucose transporter. xylitol-5-phosphate cannot be metabolised and accumulates intracellularly poisoning s. mutans. non-fermentability prevents acid production. stimulates saliva flow for natural remineralisation.
Typically Found In: Toothpaste,mouthwash,sugar-free gum,oral care
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ dental anticaries sugar alcohol
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 5%โ30%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from birch or corn cob
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Highly toxic to dogs โ xylitol causes hypoglycemia. safe for humans at typical doses.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Xylitol's toxicity to s. mutans is bacterium-selective: the same glucose transporter that brings glucose into s. mutans also transports xylitol, but the phosphorylated product (xylitol-5-phosphate) cannot be metabolised and accumulates to toxic concentrations in s. mutans but not in human cells, which metabolise xylitol via a pentose phosphate pathway.
