Why make-up artists swear by Dr. Bronner’s on set

Some of the UK’s top make-up artists from film and TV have revealed they love Dr. Bronner’s products on set when filming some of the most popular productions. Loved for its inclusivity, our products are ideal on set as they are long-lasting, organic, suitable for sensitive skins, vegan, cruelty free and fairtrade:

  • Bronner’s 18 in 1 castile soaps are a must-have as a make-up brush cleaner, due to its gentle formula which prolongs the life of precious makeup brushes.
  • The Hand Hygiene Spray can be used by on-site teams and cast alike, a natural and wonderful smelling (either Lavender or Peppermint) way to keep both hands and tools santised

From The Crown and Britannia, to Brassic and Bridgerton, these make-up artists share their favourite products and tips from BTS.

Julia Finch @julesfinch – “Aside from creating a character through hair and makeup, another important part of a makeup artist’s job is the upkeep of the look throughout the day and keeping our hands and equipment clean whilst looking after our cast and the look. The make-up team on the Crown absolutely love Dr Bronner’s Lavender Hand Hygiene Spray. The scent is so fresh and the gentle spray leaves our hands clean and moisturised, we couldn’t be without it.”

I actually adore pretty much everything that Dr Bronner’s does, but my favourite thing has to be the Lavender Hand Hygiene Spray and it is a staple in my kit. Also everyone on set is constantly asking me for a spray because they know I always have it!! The other product is the Pure Castile Soaps for cleaning brushes. It cleans and conditions our makeup brushes as well and leaving them looking fluffy again like new. The great thing about the soap is that it’s such a versatile product so having a bottle in our set bags means we have brush cleaner, makeup remover, hand soap, it also works really well to remove (fake) blood from the skin and hair when we need to do re sets so I really do love this product!!”

“The castile soap is honestly the best I’ve found for washing my brushes, gently yet effectively!  I also recommend to clients and colleagues as I’m always getting asked what the best thing to use is!”

Make-up artist and beauty journalist Madeline Spencer @madelinelovesthis

“I love to use the liquid soaps for washing brushes”

Sophie Brown @sophie_brown_mua – “My favourite Dr Bronner’s products are the Lavender hand sanitizer and The Lavender Castile liquid soap!! The hand sanitizer is the best I’ve ever used! Keeping my hands clean and smelling nice for when my hands are close to actors faces, I also love how it doesn’t dry my hands out! And I won’t use anything other than the liquid soap on my make-up brushes! Nothing cleans them like it whilst keeping them soft and in perfect condition- also not drying my hands out when I’m using it.”
