Product Information

Each brush boasts a sustainably sourced bamboo handle. Bamboo is a strong grass which is harvested and used in the beauty industry for its anti-bacterial properties. Due to being a natural material each brush handle will be unique. It depends. Synthetic fibers are generally made from plastic materials, which are a by-product of the petroleum industry and can be difficult or completely impossible to recycle. However, many vegan makeup brushes try to balance this by using sustainable materials in the rest of the design. Many use fast-growing bamboo for the handle; this wood is considered more sustainable than others as it requires no pesticides or chemicals to grow and can often be composted at the end of its life. Hurtig Lane offers a couple of collections of beautifully handcrafted vegan and sustainable makeup brushes. Choose from either their range of eco-friendly bamboo or sustainable wood handles makeup brushes. The ferrules are even made from recycled aluminum and both sets come in an organic natural cotton gift bag. ILIA Unlike animal hair, synthetic fibres are non-porous, allowing more of your makeup to be applied to your skin rather than being absorbed into the hairs, causing a build up of product and bacteria. This enables less wastage of your makeup and is much healthier for your skin. There is an easy, cruelty-free alternative, however. Synthetic fibers are an affordable option, and one that’s actually better for your skin, according to Tai Young, a Los Angeles-based celebrity makeup artist. “They’re easier to clean and sanitize, and will last longer than animal hair brushes,” she says. “They’re naturally more hygienic than animal hair brushes, which are more porous and therefore more likely to collect bacterial and microbial growth.”

ILIA’s mindfully designed and expertly crafted vegan brushes are lightweight, durable, and recyclable. The handles are made from aluminum and FSC-Certified wood and the vegan bristles are crafted with synthetic, man-made fiber. You can find ILIA sustainable makeup brushes at iliabeauty.com, Nordstrom, and Beautylish. Urban Decay (L’Oreal) The ferrules of each brush are made from recycled aluminium and can be recycled again at the end of their life (although, that won't be for a very long time because Flawless brushes are designed to last!)
