A good makeup brush is essential for creating any look. But… most makeup brushes are made from wasteful plastic handles with animal hair bristles that aren't sustainably sourced. Unlike the other guys, the Bamboo Cheek & Contour Makeup Brush from Elate Cosmetics relies on eco-friendly materials like ethically sourced bamboo and Taklon bristles to create their high-quality makeup brushes. Vegan and cruelty-free, the Taklon bristles are a synthetic alternative to animal fur, and they are naturally non-porous, anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic for a flawless makeup application. Plus, they dry faster than typical bristles! With a beautiful bamboo handle, this cheek and contour blending brush features an angled head for applying bronzer and contour shades, and is great for highlighter application as well!

As a member of the grass family, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth. It requires no irrigation, pesticides or fertilizers to grow, and can be harvested within 3-5 years, as compared to approximately 30+ years for traditional hardwoods. Bamboo is extremely adaptable and produces more oxygen per acre than large tree species, while using a fraction of the water to grow. Its durable and lightweight qualities make bamboo a great alternative for hard wood products!

Parabens are synthetic chemical preservatives, commonly used in beauty products like shampoo, lotion, and deodorants. Parabens can accumulate in your body, and have been linked to hormonal disruption and reproductive problems. In studies of breast cancer patients, parabens have been found in the tissue of cancerous tumors. If you want to avoid Parabens in your beauty products, keep an eye out for methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben in the ingredients list.

Phthalates are found in toys, electronics, personal care products, plastic wraps, containers, and more. These petroleum based chemicals help soften plastics, and bind fragrances to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other personal care products. Phthalates are are not chemically bound, meaning they can easily get released into the air, water, or your body, just by using the products as intended. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, which can cause reproductive damage, hormonal imbalances, infertility, mood changes, metabolism changes, and more.
