Frequently Asked Questions
HOW AND WHERE ARE ANISA BRUSHES MADE?
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.
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 brushes and tools are made using the highest quality materials, hand-crafted by skilled artisans, and manufactured using clean and socially responsible methods.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We are in the process of transitioning 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 and wrapped in FSC certified tissue paper. This mean 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.

- For faster deep cleaning, use a silicone brush cleaning pad, like the Brush Cleaning Pad.
- Rinse thoroughly with water.

- Lay flat to dry.
- Do not reuse until brush is completely dry.

Yes, ANISA Beauty brush fibers are very soft and are designed for optimal product pick-up and application.
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.
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 page.
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.
The Wash Brush Cleanser has less than a 1% fragrance.

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