🫧 Dish soap vs. makeup brushes! 💄
I'd never actually cleaned mine 🙈, so just you wait...
I deal with eczema on my face, and it's a SUPER sensitive area, so I'm really careful about what comes into contact with my skin.
After seeing someone clean their brushes with Dove Original, I got curious about the ingredients.
Dove's Original Beauty Bar is actually a syndet bar (made with synthetic detergents), and it contains "fragrance (parfum)."
Here's what bothers me: under U.S. labeling rules, fragrance blends can be listed under that ONE word without disclosing every individual component. And some fragrance ingredients can cause irritation or interfere with hormone signaling.
For me, ingredient transparency matters more than a cheap price tag.
So I grabbed our handmade cold-process dish soap, made with saponified coconut oil, cocoa butter, and castor oil, and put it to the test!
And the amount of makeup that came out?! 😳
When was the last time YOU washed your makeup brushes? 👀
