In the world of beauty and cosmetics, innovation is the key to staying ahead. Shangyang, a pioneering makeup brush manufacturer, has achieved a significant milestone with their latest invention: antibacterial makeup brushes. This revolutionary material is set to redefine hygiene standards in the beauty industry, providing makeup enthusiasts with a new level of cleanliness and safety.
Antibacterial fiber is a groundbreaking material designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria. The secret to the antibacterial property lies in the material of the fiber itself. It is engineered to provide a hostile environment for bacteria, preventing them from thriving on the surface of your makeup brushes. For example, a mixture of bamboo and charcoal that has been shown to have antibacterial qualities. Additionally, Shangyang self-develops a new antibacterial fiber. This means that every time you use a Shangyang antibacterial makeup brush, youre not just applying makeup; youre applying confidence.
Nano-sized silver ions are incorporated into anti-bacterial fiber hair to inhibit and deactivate bacterial metabolism.97% of antimicrobial resistance even after 30 washings.
In a recent SGS Test Report, Shangyangs antibacterial fiber demonstrated a 97% bacterial reduction in just one hour against Escherichia coli ATCC , a common bacterium found in the environment.
This test is crucial for verifying the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents, ensuring they perform as expected in reducing bacterial presence.
It is important to stress that utilizing antibacterial fiber does not replace the necessity for routine brush cleaning, even though Shangyangs antibacterial fiber offers a potent barrier against bacterial growth. Over time, product residue, oils, and other debris can collect on makeup brushes, even ones with antibacterial qualities. Maintaining optimal performance, extending the life of the brushes, and guaranteeing a continuously hygienic beauty experience are all made possible by a regular cleaning regimen.
Shangyangs introduction of antibacterial fiber marks a significant advancement in the beauty industry, aligning with the growing demand for products that prioritize hygiene and safety. The SGS Test Reports conclusive evidence of a 97% bacterial reduction underscores the effectiveness of this innovative material.

The concept of antibacterial or antimicrobial makeup brushes have been around for over years but it seems they are starting to make a comeback. Whats the difference between antibacterial and antimicrobial anyhow?

Before we dive into explaining how these brushes work, its important to understand the difference between Natural and Synthetic Makeup Brushes Do you know the difference?
According to Makeup.com by LOreal: Natural makeup brushes are made of animal hair, often sable, squirrel or goat. Natural brushes tend to be more expensive than synthetic brushes because theyre made from real animal hair. The natural hair offers a super soft feel and makes it easy for blending makeup on the face. Thats because, just like the hair on our head, the natural hair on the makeup brushes contains cuticles, which have great pick-up and blending properties. Cuticles help lift and absorb powdery pigment along with your skins oils and blend them seamlessly across the face, creating a natural, non-blotchy look. Natural makeup brushes are best used for applying powder-based makeup products such as eyeshadow, finishing and setting powder and powder-based blushes and bronzers.
Synthetic makeup brushes are typically made of man-made materials like nylon, taklon or polyester fibers. While theyre not as soft as natural makeup brushes, synthetic brushes are typically more affordable because they use easily accessible materials. Theyre also unique in that the bristles naturally gravitate toward each other, allowing for a more precise, smooth and streak-free application. Faux-hair brushes are also great for liquid products like foundations, cream blush or gel eyeliner. The synthetic hairs are not as porous as natural hairs, so they dont soak up too much makeup or get clumpy and gunky.
Advances in material science and manufacturing methods have essentially allowed the beauty industry to create brushes with specially coated bristles and even handles that repel bacteria and microbes. Typically speaking, most of these brushes have a specialized coating over the brush fibers that are responsible for repelling the bacteria and microbes. Without getting too technical, some of the more popular methods of manufacturing are bristles that are coated or produced with activated charcoal properties and even silver ions that are actually part of the brush fiber.
We know that charcoal by nature absorbs impurities and silver by nature is a well-documented antimicrobial that has been shown to kill bacteria, fungi and certain viruses. Furthermore, silver ions will block the bacterial respiratory system and thereby destroy the energy production of the cell. In the end, the bacterial cell membrane will burst, and the bacteria will be destroyed. Sounds cool right? Definitely! But that doesnt mean we should avoid washing antibacterial and antimicrobial makeup brushes all together.
Wear and tear through repeat usage causes the coating to break down over time thus losing its ability to repel bacteria and youre right back where you started. Depending on the method of manufacturing, each brand will have a lifespan that is usually in the manufacture data on the packaging Always try to read and follow the recommendations. The Sephora Collection Deluxe Antibacterial Brush Set, for example, has a coating that lasts up to 60 days before its effectiveness is essentially lost.

Since the pandemic began, makeup artists are researching the best practices for properly sanitizing their cosmetics. While it may seem that researching the best products is a step in the right direction, that is not enough to ensure proper sanitizing. We recommend sanitizing your brushes during an application and disinfecting all your tools and brushes between each client.
If you have natural hair brushes, you want to clean them delicately, without the use of alcohol which will damage the bristles. For synthetic brushes, you are going to want a more robust product like our brush cleaner and brush shampoo.
In closing, we are all for new technologies that help us and the products we use stay sanitary and hygienic! We just recommend sanitizing, disinfecting your makeup brushes and tools between each client.
