Cosmetic Brushes
Selected natural fine hairs and synthetic filaments for cosmetic brush manufacturing, offering different characteristics of softness, elasticity, fineness and application performance according to the requirements and quality level of the finished product.
Different materials for different performance requirements
Natural Fine Hairs
Goat, squirrel, pony and other natural fine hairs provide different levels of softness, elasticity, product loading capacity and release.

Hairs and filaments with different characteristics can be selected or combined according to the type of brush and the performance required.
Tradition and the specific characteristics of natural fibres
Natural fine hairs remain an important solution for manufacturing high-quality cosmetic brushes. Each type offers different characteristics of softness, elasticity, fineness and the ability to hold and release the product.
Goat hair plays a particularly important role thanks to its versatility and balance between softness and elasticity. Depending on the type of brush, squirrel, pony and weasel hair can also be used, along with other selected fine hairs.
The fibre influences brush performance
Softness
The fineness and nature of the fibre determine its contact with the skin and the feel during application.
Elasticity and Recovery
The elastic behaviour of the fibre contributes to brush control and its ability to maintain its shape during use.
Product Loading and Release
The material, diameter and structure of the fibre influence the ability of the brush to pick up, distribute and release the cosmetic product.
Precision
In smaller brushes, the fineness of the fibre and the quality of the tip are decisive in achieving control and precision.
Two families of materials, different possibilities
The choice between natural hair and synthetic filament depends on more than a single parameter: it depends on the type of brush, the cosmetic product to be applied and the performance the manufacturer wishes to achieve.
Alongside traditional natural fine hairs, the development of fine synthetic filaments now provides fibres with specific characteristics of softness, elasticity, fineness and geometry.
A.S.&C. can support manufacturers in assessing different natural or synthetic solutions according to the characteristics required in the finished brush.
Synthetic fibres for cosmetic brushes
Particularly fine synthetic filaments are available for cosmetic brush manufacturing, supplied by companies with a high level of specialisation in this sector.
Diameter, fibre geometry, tip characteristics, softness, elasticity and resilience can be selected according to the type of brush and the performance required.
