I have sensitive skin. Can I use Tabiiy?
Yes. Our Cleanser is hypoallergenic and fragrance-free. It is safe and gentle on sensitive skin.
What is deep cleaning? How often should I deep clean my brushes?
Our Cleanser removes not only makeup, but also skin oils from brushes and sponges. Deep-cleaning is essential to makeup hygiene and prevents breakouts, styes, and other skin problems.
Professional makeup artists should deep clean brushes after every client. Brushes and sponges that have not been deep cleaned should never be reused from one client to another. Spray-on cleansers that claim to “disinfect” brushes and sponges do not in fact remove the oils, dead skin cells, and gunk stuck in between bristles or the pores of sponges, and they do not effectively prevent breakouts, styes, and other skin problems. Tabiiy does.
People who apply their own makeup every day (or nearly every day) should wash their brushes and sponges at least twice per week. If you experience skin problems, try washing your brushes and sponges more often. We recommend having an extra set that you can use in case your first set doesn’t dry fast enough.
Casual makeup users who apply their own makeup only once or twice per week should deep clean their brushes and sponges once per week. As with more frequent makeup users, if you experience skin problems, try washing your brushes and sponges more often. We recommend having an extra set that you can use in case your first set doesn’t dry fast enough.
Is Tabiiy environmentally friendly?
At Tabiiy, we try hard to make our products as environmentally friendly as possible. We use recyclable packaging and source our ingredients from
According to the US Food and Drug Administration, antibacterial soaps are no more effective than regular soap and water for killing disease-causing germs. We do not add unnatural chemical additives that are specifically antibacterial. In most day to day uses, these additives are not necessary, and some, such as triclosan, may do more harm than good. Tabiiy is specially formulated to quickly and effectively remove harmful bacteria from your makeup tools.
Will Tabiiy wear out my brushes?
No. This Cleanser not only cleans, but also conditions your brushes and sponges, extending their lives and ensuring smooth makeup application.
How is Tabiiy different from other makeup brush- and sponge-cleaning solutions?
In short, our Cleanser works better. Unlike alternatives, our Cleanser gets out dried up, caked-on makeup fast. Other cleansers require multiple applications, but Tabiiy’s works from the first swirl. Simply wet dirty brush or sponge, swirl on cleanser bar, then rub on scrubbing pad beneath running water until the brush or sponge is clean.
Many makeup users use liquid hand soap, shampoo, dish soap, or laundry detergent to clean brushes and sponges, but these solutions may require multiple applications. If you have a pile of brushes and sponges to clean, that extra time can add up quickly. Tabiiy deep cleans fast from the first application. Depending on how you wash the brushes and sponges, liquid hand soap may not effectively deep-clean your makeup tools: it may not penetrate into brush bristles or sponge pores to remove oils, dead skin cells, and gunk stuck inside. Ineffective deep cleaning can lead to breakouts, styes, and other skin problems. Tabiiy penetrates into brush bristles, helping to prevent breakouts, styes, and other skin problems. Some liquid hand soaps can also wear out your brush bristles, shortening the life of your brushes.
Other “quick cleaning” or “sanitizing” products marketed to professional makeup artists may contain harsh chemicals that destroy brushes and sponges over time and irritate sensitive skin. Furthermore, these solutions do not adequately deep-clean your makeup tools, leaving behind makeup residue mixed with skin oils, dead skin cells, dirt, and other gunk stuck in your brushes and sponges. The brushes might be “sanitized” on the surface, but they’re actually still dirty! Even after being sanitized, this residue can lead to breakouts, styes, and other skin problems. If
No. Our Cleanser is never tested on animals.
Yes. Our Cleanser is 100% plant-based and contains no animal products.

How long does it take to clean a brush or sponge with Tabiiy?
It takes approximately 30 seconds to wash a brush or sponge with our solid bar Makeup Brush & Sponge Cleanser. Watch this video to see for yourself. If you are a professional makeup artist with 100 brushes to clean, it would take about 50 minutes. Compared with other solutions that can take two to three hours for the same number of brushes, Tabiiy gives you that precious time back.
