Are natural hair brushes really Cruelty-free

As an important makeup tools for many users, makeup brushes have many brands, types and materials. While the two major categories are: man-made (synthetic) and natural animal hair brushes. 

 

First of all, what is a cruelty-free makeup brush? Some makeup brush factory may tell you that their natural-hair brushes are 100 percent cruelty-free, promising that no squirrels, camels, badgers, or any other animals used to make natural-hair brushes were harmed in the manufacturing process.

I am really doubt with such promise. While I do not mean that these makeup brush companies are dishonest, but in fact, many makeup brush suppliers dont make their brushes in house but buy from the makeup brush manufacturers in other countries, so they do NOT know how the animals were treated. 

 

Actually, even if the animals are well-cared for during the manufacturing process, its still not totally cruelty-free, because the animals are kept and maintained for the purpose of using their hair to make brushes.

 

This brings us to synthetic makeup brushes, the truly, 100 percent cruelty-free makeup brushes.

 

Synthetic brushes have man-made, synthetic fibers. They dont contain any animal hair and are vegan and in most cases eco-friendly.

 

Better than natural-hair brushes, synthetic bristles are hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. Theyre soft, clean, and overall superior products.  

Depending on the brand, the costs of synthetic brushes are different, but comparing to natural-hair brushes, they are much cheaper.

 

Toney, a Chinese makeup brush factory since 2000, have manufactured various synthetic brushes.

 

Now, there are still so many users who are crazy for natural hair brushes, and many so called makeup artists suggest us use the natural hair brushes due to the superior quality.
