Are animals whose fur is used for the manufacture of makeup brushes treated cruelly?
Unfortunately, there is no uniform standard of ethical treatment for the animals used in the fur industry and cosmetic brush industry. The worldwide demand for cosmetic brushes has been dramatically increasing, and most of the supply comes from Asia and Asia Pacific countries. The farmers who raise and harvest the animals used for cosmetic brushes don’t often care much about the conditions they keep for the animals. So, there are some cases of poor treatment of animals used for fur and cosmetic brush hair. Organizations like PETA have worked for years to try and bring awareness to consumers of where there animal-derived products come from, and how the animals are treated during the process. At ABT, we take animals out of the equation all together. Now there is no need for an animal to suffer to make a superior quality cosmetic brush.
