In one of the photos, the description mentions that the brushes are made out of natural fibers, not nylon. Anyone know what the "natural fibers" are?

Yes, "natural fibers" are generally made out of fibers from animals, like hog's bristles, or from plants, like hemp or coir (the fibers on the outsides of coconuts). The sellers may have some special definition of what the word "natural" means, but, trust me, the brushes look and act like nylon.

These brushes come from china. I have them and personally I like them. None of the bristles come off or anything like that. They smell when you get them. Lol. And they could be thicker but, other than that, for the price they are great.

Hi there,Honestly, I cannot be sure whether these are authentic or generic brushes. What I do know is that they are much cheaper! I went to Ulta and Macy's and compared them to the authentic brushes there. By all means of physical and aesthetic appearance, as well as tough and touch, they appeared to be authentic. I have been using them for a little while now and they work just as well as the guaranteed "authentic" Clarisonic brushes I used. Hope this helps, good luck!

They are a stiff nylon like a hair brush. Wish you were local I would give you mine!

I used a natural brush at first, found it shed too much. It is best from my experience to use a basic acrylic brush.

The brushes themselves are excellent. The brown travel bag they came in smelled of an oil based product. The seller quickly replaced it but it still had somewhat of an oil/chemical smell. I highly recommend the brushes though they are great! No the brushes do not shed...

They are miQQi brushes. Not sure if that's the name of the company. Anyway, they are decent brushes for the money. The duo fiber brush did quite a bit of shedding when I tried to apply liquid foundation with it. May be better used for powder products.

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

Well I don't have a boar to compare the bristles with, however, the bristles do not feel like they are plastic or nylon or synthetic. The brush is the best feeling brush I have ever seen or used. The bristles feel natural, the only other thing I have is a dart board which is 100% boar hair, and that also works nicely. The brush is a sturdy piece, a good buy.

I'll be honest, I do not have much experience on the subject, this is my first set of makeup brushes, and the truth is that its bristles are super soft, and I have washed several times and have not dropped a hair. It's probable that they are 100% natural goat hair, but I guess someone with more experience can get us out of this doubt.

They are not. They are inexpensive brushes. A bit stiffer than a commercial toothbrush. Perfect for one time use, but too stiff to use as a primary toothbrush.

These are natural bristles. I have asthma, and use this brush to dust everything when I vacuum. It is very gentle on furniture. Be aware that since they are not synthetic, with frequent use the bristles will wear down and have to be replaced every few years. It is a fantastic dusting brush.

They are actually a medium bristle...not too soft...not too hard...I use this brush on my boats and trailers and in my construction business. This brush tackles most of the things I have to clean with no problem.... I highly recommend this brush to any and to all!!!

I'd say that the brushes are soft. The brush stiffness does not seem to impact the cleaning for me. It is all about the ionic charge.

I posted a photo which is a bit distorted slightly widened. But they are great. I've really used the plastic brush A LOT!!!! The nozzle hasn''t really come off for me, the little brushes just go on the end of the nozzle.
