Whose Hair Is Brushing Your Cheek?
Whose hair is brushing your rosy cheeks in your morning makeup routine? Perhaps it’s a soft squirrel’s or maybe high-grade goat hair or possibly it was once a male swine before it became a boar-bristle brush. Not too appealing, is it?
None of these options will harm you, of course, and they are the standard in the beauty industry, but it’s always nice to know of alternatives to animal hair brushes. That’s why I was happy to learn about a new brand called ecoTOOLS.
The cosmetic collection features brushes with bamboo handles, cruelty-free taklon bristles and metallic ferrule made from recycled aluminum cans. The entire line is available at Walgreens for under $11.

These brushes sound like a great cruelty-free option and even better that you can pick them up at Walgreens!
July 17th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
These sound great! Unfortunately, the closest Walgreens is about an hour away
I hope i win!!! I’m trying my best to go all green – eating raw is great!!!!

I need some new brushes and these look lovely!
July 17th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
These look great – I too do not have a Walgreens close by, but I’m going to keep my eyes open as I’m sure these must be available other places too. Here’s hoping anyway!

Thanks for this info! I’m glad to see something green and cruelty-free that is reasonably priced and easy to find in stores!

Attractive brushes–and green too! It is nice to see that more and more (reasonably priced) green items are becoming available at stores we frequent on a regular basis!

I am soooo going to decommission my questionable brushes and switch to these. (Any suggestions on how to repurpose old make-up brushes?)

Sounds interesting…but what on earth is Taklon made from?
July 18th, 2008 at 9:10 am
These look awesome! Thanks so much for the info…

These look great! My current brushes are starting to shed their bristles, so it’s time for a new set!

Thanks for introducing me to these~ they look lovely! If I don’t hear that I’m the winner I’ll be heading to Walgreens!

loving the concept of great quality + no harm to animals. they say sable and squirrel have the best hair for brushes, but who wants to hurt those cuties to look prettier???
July 19th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
I totally agree with all the comments already made. I am always searching for any kind of “green” products and this website makes it so much easier! Thanks so much for the great find!

I have one of these brushes and I love it! I would certainly be excited to have the whole set:)

I have recently been introduced to living greener by a friend and have thoroughly enjoyed learning about the eco friendly lifestyle on this website! It is very informative and is helping me to slowly but surely turn towards the greener way of life!

It’s so good to hear that Brittany. That’s exactly why we’re here.

Good luck to you all.
