How and where are Anisa brushes made?

Where are the brushes manufactured?

Our brushes are produced in our fully-owned facilities in Tianjin and Jinghai, China. We've proudly owned and operated our Tianjin facility for over 19 years, and our newer Jinghai facility for over 4 years.

How are your brushes responsibly manufactured in China?

We are committed to safer and cleaner manufacturing processes with complete control, from research & development to brush production. We own 100% of our two manufacturing facilities and are proud to produce 100% closed-loop manufacturing, which means we have full control over our supply chain and process – from concept to your hand. This translates to you knowing where and how your brushes were made. We stand behind our promise that Anisa Beauty brushes and tools are made using the highest quality materials, hand-crafted by skilled artisans, and manufactured using clean and socially responsible methods.

How do I know that Anisa Beauty manufacturing facility is socially responsible?

Employing more than 400 employees and staff globally, our corporate culture is dedicated to improving the lives of our employees. At the core of our organization, we’re dedicated to giving back to the communities where we live and work.

What makes Anisa Beauty products NEXT generation?

After 30 years in the cosmetic industry, we are committed to introducing beauty innovations that are about educating you, the consumer, to care about how and who made your brushes. And most importantly, care if they were made in an ethical and transparent way when it comes to social and environmental compliance. Anisa Beauty will continue to introduce innovative ways to apply makeup and skincare with brushes and tools. This is why we chose to state the “Next Generation.” Our brand currently owns 4 patented designs and 3 patent-pending designs across our product range. To learn more about our patents, visit our Legal page.

Are Anisa Beauty’s products cruelty-free?

Yes, all brush fibers are PETA-certified and cruelty-free. The brush head, ferrule and handle are not manufactured or developed methods that involve experimentation or testing on animals.

What are the brush fibers made from?

Our brush bristles are 100% synthetic, man-made fiber and are cruelty-free. Our brush bristles are not produced from any animals and are not tested on animals.

Is your packaging eco-friendly?

We have transitioned all of our makeup brushes to be made with 100% PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastic handles, including the ferrule and ring. Each brush is packed in FSC certified packaging. This means for every tree harvested to make paper, a new tree is planted in its place. Our purple star packing peanuts are 100% biodegradable. Don't forget to recycle your box.

About Anisa Beauty Brushes

What is the best cleaning solution to use when washing my brushes?

We recommend a gentle, alcohol-free brush shampoo like The Wash 2.0. You can find it on our website here.

Are the brushes soft?

Yes, Anisa Beauty brush fibers are very soft and are designed for optimal product pick-up and application.

Do the brushes irritate the skin?

Our brush fibers are fully synthetic and should not irritate your skin. However, if irritation occurs please discontinue use and consult your doctor or dermatologist.

Do the brushes shed?

Since the brush fibers are synthetic, shedding should be minimal. Shedding may occur with usage of alcohol-based disinfecting brush cleaners - please ensure these are used properly by visiting our Brush Care Guide page.

Do the brush fibers stain?

Use of products that are highly pigmented (such a charcoal/clay/mud facial masks), and/or are acid/oil-based formulas may cause staining of brush bristles, handle, and ferrule. If you are using one of these products, we highly recommend cleaning your brushes after each use per our Care Instructions, which you can find outlined on each Product Page. We recommend cleaning your brushes every 1-2 weeks to keep them in the best condition possible and free of permanent stains.

Do your deep cleaning products contain fragrance?

The Wash 2.0 has less than a 1% fragrance.

What do I do if an item is out of stock?

If an item you wish to purchase is out of stock, please select the "notify me" button on the product page to be notified when it will be back in stock. You can also email us directly at support@anisabeauty.com to be added to our waitlist. Once the item is restocked, you will be among the first to know!

When is the next Anisa Beauty product launching?

What is the lifespan of an Anisa Beauty brush?

Anisa Beauty brushes are crafted using the highest quality materials and methods. Depending on usage and your brush care routine, your Anisa Beauty brushes can last up to two years or longer.

Do you have a take-back program or recycling program for your products?

At this time, we are strategically focused on the manufacturing and materials we use. We are also focused on educating about how caring for your brushes will prolong their life, and how they can be repurposed when they are no longer needed for makeup or skin care. We encourage you to repurpose your older brushes that are no longer needed. Instead of throwing them away, please consider: Washing and donating them to women’s shelters/nonprofits that accept brushes, Gifting them to a nail salon, Using as paint brushes, Using for hair dye DIYs, Using for dusting or detail cleaning. Over the years, we have investigated the possibility of a recycling program. We have not found viable solutions to date. Thank you for your support – we appreciate your interest and encouragement in our sustainability efforts.

How can I find out more information about a specific brush or product?

You can learn all about our products on their individual product pages. If you have any other questions or thoughts, let us know by emailing one of our experts at support@anisabeauty.com.

Brush Care

How do I clean my skincare brushes?

Daily:

  • After use with a lightweight skincare formula, gently wipe the brush head, ferrule, and handle with a clean towel.
  • After use with a heavier skincare formula, use a waterless, alcohol-free brush cleaner like our Quick Dry Brush Cleaner 2.0 to lift excess residue, oil, and dirt from your brush fibers with no drying time required.
  • After use with a pigmented or acid/oil-based formula, we highly suggest following the below "Weekly/Monthly" instructions after each use to avoid staining and help keep brush fibers in optimal condition.

Weekly/Monthly:

  1. Add a dime-sized amount of The Wash 2.0 to the center of the Brush Cleaning Pad.
  2. With or without adding any water, gently work The Wash 2.0 into the brush head by massaging the fibers on the Brush Cleaning Pad surface using circular motions.
  3. Add some water to create a lather, then rinse thoroughly.
  4. Pat the brush head with a clean towel to absorb water and gently reshape the brush head.
  5. To dry, either lay the brush flat with the brush head hanging over the edge of a surface or hang the brush upside down using the Brush Cup’s built-in loops.

For detailed brush cleaning instructions & tips, visit our Brush Care Guide page.

How do I clean my makeup brushes?

Daily/Weekly: Use our Quick Dry Brush Cleaner 2.0 to lift excess residue, oil, and dirt from your brush fibers – a waterless, alcohol-free “dry clean” with no drying time required.

Weekly/Monthly:
  1. Add a dime-sized amount of The Wash 2.0 to the center of the Brush Cleaning Pad.
  2. With or without adding any water, gently work The Wash 2.0 into the brush head by massaging the fibers on the Brush Cleaning Pad surface using circular motions.

TOP BRUSH CARE TIPS:
  • Do not submerge your brushes in water. This can weaken the glue in the ferrule that holds the fibers together.
  • Do not use alcohol or alcohol-based cleaners to clean your brushes unless you are a professional makeup artist and must do so while in between clients. Alcohol can destroy your brushes if used incorrectly, especially if brushes are dipped directly into it. If alcohol travels to the glue in the ferrule, it can cause the fibers to fall out. Alcohol “eats” the vegan glue used in many brushes, including Anisa Beauty brushes. For personal use, we strongly recommend avoiding alcohol-based cleaners. For professionals who must use alcohol to clean brushes between clients, please see our Pro Cleaning Tips below.
  • For washing away tough stains and heavy cream/liquid product buildup, add a dime-sized amount of dish soap directly to the brush head and work it into the fibers using your hands or Brush Cleaning Pad without any water. Then, rinse and repeat as needed.
  • If your brush head is slightly misshaped upon delivery, it can be easily fixed. The brush head will return to its original head shape by washing and reshaping the brush head using your hands after it’s rinsed clean & laying the brush flat to dry.

AS A PRO MAKEUP ARTIST, HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR MY BRUSHES?

For makeup artists who need to use alcohol-based cleaning methods to disinfect brushes between clients, we recommend taking the following steps:

  • While holding your brushes so the brush head is downwards, spray the brush head with your alcohol-based cleaner to fully saturate the brush head. Flip the brush over to coat all sides evenly at once.
  • Then, immediately wipe your brush head using gentle back-and-forth motions onto a paper towel or a clean towel.
  • Repeat until your fibers stop depositing buildup onto your towel – this indicates your brush is adequately cleaned for your next client.
  • Lightly squeeze your brush head with a clean towel area, then reshape and lay flat to dry. This will help speed up the drying process so that the brush is ready for your next client.
  • Do not use it on your next client until the brush is fully dry.
  • After you finish your work for the day, wash any brushes you used with alcohol ASAP using gentle soap and water to ensure traces of alcohol are removed ASAP.
