ZOTE Soap is the industry’s secret to washing makeup brushes on the cheap.
Wondering how to wash your makeup brushes at home with household products? It’s easier and cheaper than you might have thought, so stop putting it off and enjoy a more hygienic beauty routine as early as tomorrow morning with the use of ZOTE!
I originally heard about ZOTE Soap as an alternative makeup brush cleaner in Marie Claire *read story here* so I thought I’d do a little research myself.
ZOTE Soap hails from Mexico with a primary use of washing laundry, but it’s proven to be super effective in cleaning makeup brushes too! ZOTE’s two main ingredients are tallow and coconut oil – natural ingredients that won’t harm your skin.
ZOTE soap is cheaper and more effective than it’s competitors (real makeup cleansers) so why not give it a try?

Oh, and by the way, this post is NOT sponsored by ZOTE. I’m just super into their wonderful frugal makeup-brush cleaning solution. When I find something I like I want to give credit where credit is due. Same reason I write Yelp reviews, it’s kinda fun & if I didn’t share my opinion, who would?! So I thought I’d do ZOTE a favor and give them all the shout outs for free! Show them your support and pick up a bar on Amazon!
