My relationship with Dr Bronner's 18-in-1 Pure Castille Soap goes back a long time. I started using it to about two years ago to clean my makeup brushes, and although I dabble in other brush cleansers from time to time, I always end up coming back to Dr Bronner.
It's an all-natural, totally organic 18-in-1 liquid soap which has so many uses. 18 apparently, but I'm sure you could find more. Over the years I have used it as body wash, dish soap, shampoo, face wash, but mostly as my go-to makeup brush cleanser. It's gentle enough to use even to wash your vegetables apparently, but can't say I've been brave enough to try that one. It's magic soap. As well as all of the above, it also comes in a variety of scents: my two favourites being almond and citrus.
We're here though to talk about makeup brushes. Nobody likes cleaning makeup brushes (if you do, hit me up, I've got a job for you). I'll be the first to admit that I put off cleaning my brushes for as long as possible and spend a lot of days applying foundation with my fingers as I can no longer bring myself to put my buffing brush near my face. But Dr Bronner's soap makes the cleaning a lot less of a painful process. It's a very thin liquid soap that doesn't tend to foam up massively, but there's something in this that just dissolves the makeup on your brushes with very little effort. Run the brushes under some warm water, add some soap, swirl the brush in the palm of your hand, rinse, and voila! Perfectly clean brushes that smell gorgeous.
Anything that makes cleaning my brushes less painful can only be good.
