how often
dermatologists often recommend cleaning makeup tools weekly

for overdue, dense complexion brushes like kabuki or flat top, or anything packed with long wear foundation:

1. place just the bristles (not the handle) in lukewarm water with about one dropper of serum per cup for 10- 15 minutes

2. lift out, apply 2 to 4 drops directly to the bristles, massage, and do a brief pad swirl

3. rinse until water runs clear

4. repeat if needed

natural hair brushes

do not soak. wet bristles, apply a few drops, let sit for 5 to 7 minutes, brief pad swirl, rinse, reshape, dry flat

few drops · 30-sec swirl · rinse & lay flat to dry

formulated without: parabens, sulfates (sls/sles), phthalates, synthetic dyes, or drying alcohols.

vegan • cruelty-free • non-comedogenic* • fragrance-free** • skin & hormone-conscious***

glass bottle • reusable silicone cleansing pad • recyclable box

* non-comedogenic: does not clog pores when tools are rinsed thoroughly and used as directed. for tools only.

** fragrance-free: no added perfume/parfum or masking fragrance. any light scent is incidental to functional ingredients and rinses away.

*** skin & hormone-conscious: indicates intentional ingredient selection and avoidance of certain classes of ingredients; not a medical claim.

faq

most brush cleaners are evaluated on one thing: how well they clean bristles. skincare-grade means the formula was also evaluated for what happens after if residue is left behind. smilng scorpio was developed with a cosmetic chemist to meet the same ingredient standards applied to products that go directly on skin. because what touches your tools touches your bare skin.

most brush cleaners are formulated for bristles, not for what those bristles touch next. harsh alcohols, synthetic fragrance, and sulfates can linger on bristles and transfer directly to your bare skin during application. smiling scorpio was formulated with skin-contact in mind from the start. no harsh alcohols. no added fragrance. ingredients evaluated the same way skincare ingredients are.

uncleaned brushes accumulate old makeup, sebum, and buildup over time and that can redeposit onto skin with every use. keeping brushes clean weekly removes that buildup before it has a chance to transfer. what touches your tools touches your bare skin.

once a week for any brush that touches your face. foundation, concealer, contour, blush, eye shadow brushes used daily follow the same rule. the weekly reset removes accumulated makeup, oil, and residue from bristles before the next use. smiling scorpio is designed around this rhythm. concentrated enough that a full brush set takes minutes, not a production.

Just few drops per brush. smiling scorpio is concentrated by design. you can pre-soak for long overdue or dense brushes a few drops in a cup of lukewarm water for about 10-15min. a 50ml bottle typically lasts several months of weekly cleaning for a full brush set.

no. smiling scorpio contains no added fragrance of any kind. fragrance is one of the most common skin sensitizers, and since brush bristles make direct contact with your bare skin, it has no place in a brush cleaner.
