Essential Oil Makeup Brush Cleaner with Nootka Oil

Are your makeup brushes in need of some deep cleaning? Our guess is yes, but only because ours are, too. It can be an easy thing to overlook! 

When it comes to anything that makes regular contact with the skin, it’s important to follow one rule: use only the simplest, most naturally sourced ingredients! This easy makeup brush cleanser with essential oils uses the powerful cleansing benefits of Nootka oil and Tea Tree oil to give your brushes a complete clean you can trust. 

SUPPLIES

• 2 tablespoons Fractionated Coconut Oil
• 5 drops Nootka essential oil
• 5 drops Tea Tree essential oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine Fractionated Coconut Oil and essential oils in a small bowl.
2. Swirl and twirl your makeup brush in the Fractionated Coconut Oil until you see the built-up makeup start to clear out of the brush. Massage the bristles gently to help get the makeup out, if needed.
3. Rinse the brush under warm water. Gently squeeze brush bristles repeatedly under faucet until the water runs clear. 
4. Let your newly cleaned makeup brushes dry on a towel for four hours, or until dry. Repeat once a month, or as needed.

Note: Make sure to point the bristles down when putting your brush under running water. Direct water contact may loosen the glue where the bristles are attached and shorten the life of your brushes.

Treating your tools with the same gentle care you give your skin is an easy way to show your makeup and skin a little extra love! After all, nothing compares to the confidence of cutting harsh synthetic ingredients from your routines and replacing them with naturally sourced alternatives. Does our brush cleanser make the cut?
