Our brushes are made with Taklon, a high quality synthetic alternative to animal fur. Elate brushes move and distribute the product just like real animal hair, but without cruelty! Taklon is non-porous, naturally anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic. Drying faster than conventional brushes, are great whether you are an on-the-go pro, or an at home. The ferrule is made of high-grade aluminum and bound to the sustainable bamboo handle with an Eco-resin based glue.
