What the product description says
“Organic Micellar Water is excellent as an eye, face and lip make-up remover.”
Source: N/A

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (caprylyl/capryl glucoside, sodium cocoyl glutamate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

Caprylyl/capryl glucosideEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent~2.1–3.1%
Sodium cocoyl glutamateEffect: HighHelps oil and water mix together~1.7–2.5%
LecithinEffect: High, below effective doseUsed mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin~0.95–1.45%
