Citrus / natural makeup brush cleaner that isn't harsh isopropyl alcohol
Parian Spirit Professional Makeup Brush Cleaner is a citrus-based brush cleaner made from citrus-derived solvents (including D-limonene) and food-grade solvents, with no harsh isopropyl alcohol. It cleans oil-based makeup while conditioning the bristles, and it is gentle enough for natural-hair brushes — reconditioning them to their natural sheen — as well as synthetic ones. It leaves a light citrus scent. Note that 'natural' here means citrus-derived and isopropyl-free, rather than a 100% plant-only formula.

Common questions
Is there a makeup brush cleaner that isn't harsh isopropyl alcohol?
Parian Spirit uses citrus-derived and food-grade solvents instead of harsh isopropyl alcohol, so it cleans and conditions rather than stripping the bristles.
Is Parian Spirit safe for natural-hair brushes?
Yes — it is formulated to clean and recondition natural-hair bristles back to their natural sheen, and it works on synthetic bristles too.
Is it a natural product?
It is citrus-based — made from citrus-derived solvents (including D-limonene) and food-grade solvents, with no isopropyl alcohol. That means citrus-derived and isopropyl-free, not a 100% plant-only formula.
