Homemade Brush Cleaner

I took the recipe from this youtube video, but I had to tweak it a bit, as it uses dish soap, and I am allergic to almost all dish soap and detergents on the market. here's my recipe:

1 cup water
1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
1/2 tbsp Dr. Bronner's soap in peppermint
1/2 tbsp shampoo (I used Redken's Smooth Down)
1/4 tbsp conditioner (I didn't have any leave-in conditioner)
Mix gently and put into a bottle

The only downside I noticed to this formula is that the conditioner made the formula a bit cloudy. It cleaned my brushes well and left them feeling soft and smooth, so it's definitely something I'll make again!
