If you're like me and you foolhardily realized you're acne reacts to the ingredient ethyhexyl palmitate, then you can probably still use this to clean makeup sponges along with whatever soap you prefer. It gets my brushes back to mint color and melts the makeup off. I could use it on my face but I'm not risking it getting onto my cheeks. It's also good for getting deodorant buildup off of the body, and I would rate higher if i could use on my face without breaking out, since I love the noticeable herbal smell. I am definitely using the packaging after its gone, just look at how beautiful!!!
