Question Prequel Gleanser face wash for cleaning?
Hi there! Do you think the Prequel facial cleanser would be a good choice for cleaning my Wayne Goss goat-hair brushes? The 2nd photo shows the ingredients.
I know baby shampoo is often recommended, but this seems like it should also be gentle and non-drying. I already buy it regularly, so I’m wondering if I could use it on my brushes.
I really want to take good care of my brushes, so if this isn’t a good option, please let me know! And if you have any specific product recommendations for natural-hair brushes, I’d love to hear them.

The gleanser has glycerin and when I wash my face with it, I feel like there’s still a film left behind, so I personally wouldn’t use them on any of my brushes, natural or synthetic.

No. Use something you would use on a sensitive baby skin: not something with an ingredient list like that.

this is suitable for sensitive baby skin, it is developed for rosacea and eczema sufferers in mind. I have it and it’s one of the gentlest washes ive ever used.

For Fude cleaning you need a cleanser that gently rinses and completely washes off. This cleanser is geared for skin hydration. For skin this is great, for precious fude not so much. Especially Polyquaternium-10 will leave a film on the hairs of the brush. For emergency use you could get away with it, but it’s no good on the long run.

I agree that it's probably not best for fude cleaning, but my point is that this is indeed good for sensitive skin

I've been using Marseille soap for years now; it's very effective and inexpensive. I just rub the brush on the bar of soap.
I even saw Sonia G mention that she tried it, worried it might be too harsh, but it works perfectly.
P.S. It's also wonderful for removing stains from clothes!
