Does anybody know if the brushes are made from bunnies, squirrels, or any other animals... I'm sure somebody knows right

I think it's made of squirrels hair. I ordered it a month ago and I love it. No smell at all.

I was told they made from goat hair by a Shany rep. They are definitely not synthetic.

I too was expecting wooden bristles, but they're not. They're plastic! The base of the brush is beautiful wood, but I was hoping for a solution to the static electricity I get from plastic brushes. Oh, well. Good luck to you.

Yes. I bought them for my brother Ken at Gracewooddesign, so I have not feedback on quality. I sell smaller natural bristle stencil brushes through MB Historic Decor.

In my opinion they are better quality. Wooded handles as opposed to the hollow metal in R.T. and more dense. These brushes are department store quality.

I checked the package of brushes and it said they were made in Germany. Hope that answers your question.

If you're serious about cruelty-free and want to be totally sure that you're purchasing cruelty-free, I'd totally suggest going for synthetic taklon makeup brushes. Excellent quality brands such as ecotools and real techniques have them. Any company claiming to sell cruelty-free with natural animal hair brushes made in China are likely not giving you the full story. Stick with synthetic - lots of high quality, reasonably-priced alternatives out there!

A few years ago I believe they were made with rabbit fur, but they have changed since then. The tails no longer feal like leather and they no longer say they use any rabbit fur. The box now says they are made from top quality materials. I rub them with catnip and my cats love them.

Hi - The bristles are made of metal and are very sharp. I would look for a comb instead or a nylon brush. I just feel like this one is too sharp and may hurt their skin if they don't have thick hair.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but no I don't think so.. Just regular brushes

Both brushes I received clearly stated this also. Odd. Hope this helps, maybe you should contact the seller.

It looks like they are, as they're merely screwed in place. But you'd have to find a supplier to get the proper size. The frame in which they are positioned seems like it is quite solid and durable, so I can imagine the frame would outlast a well used set of brushes. The vendor who sells these on Amazon might carry replacement brushes, or be able to identify a source.

No, and the quality reflects that they are not. They do not hold up well - especially if you apply pressure as you brush. When the last one I used broke, I fished out the last REAL head I had left and am using it even though I have several of these cheapies left. Bad quality.

The makeup brushes are made by hand in China. The brushes are made with quality synthetic hair, called Taklon. Taklon is a fine-grade nylon that is less absorbent than natural hair & 100% cruelty-free. Taklon is designed to have anti-bacterial qualities, as well as softness, versatility and durability.

They are made of plastic, like many brushes, not metal or natural bristles.

They are seem to be real Clarisonic brushes. They come in an authentic Clarisonic box. They say they are for acne prone skin and the only difference i noticed in them was that they seem to be a little softer. But the others I bought at $25 ea at the store were not for "acne prone" skin. So they could just be a different style. I love them and they are totally worth the discount!

I thinks it's rabbit fur. But the inside is cardboard, which was awful since one of my cats bites right through them.

The original brushes seem to be rubber. I have ordered replacement brushes from Amazon with no issues.
