Brush bath?

Scents are usually added to cover other smells, like an ingredient that smells unpleasant. It's easier to smell something pleasant rather then unpleasant. So in most cases that's the reason. Realistically, it costs more to add a scent then not.

I really like the stuff but after reading that you guys are sensitive to some of the ingredients I may just stay away from it from now on... I bought some Ivory soap the other day and will use that for cleaning my brushes... Besides as with most items on the SF website... the bottle was really small compared to the look of the picture...

I have been using Dr. Bronner's Magic Pure Castile Classic Soap.

This is a very interesting post. I thought about getting this product but, after reading this thread, all of this makes a lot of sense.

I"ve been using the Paradise brand for years and, so far, I never had any complaints or skin reactions to it's scent.... as far as I know. An allergic reaction could happen with any product. But using a product with an uneeded fragrance does add a risk, unfortunately. :-/

The fragance is a marketing/branding thing and I had a lot of women tell me they loved the scent of my makeup. It made them feel as if they were in vacation... so that's a good thing for my business! lol.

I realized that, with time, the fragrance seems to dissipate. But it does stay in the product, of course.

Anyway, this is a little out of subject, now! :-p

I use some Brush Bath for my weekly SUPER cleaning. I make up a mixture of a no-tears baby shampoo, vinegar, and a few drops of brush bath.
