Beautiac is a makeup brush company that offers cruelty-free and vegan replaceable brush heads sent to your door every month. Just as men receive replaceable razor heads for shaving every month with services like Dollar Shave Club and Harry’s, Beautiac founder Drea Gunness-Groeschel created the first-ever interchangeable, sustainable makeup brush. She discovered the root of her breakouts were caused by dirty makeup brushes and not cleaning them every month, thus jumped on these “beauty lessons from men” and created Beautiac’s brush service. With Beautiac, users can feel confident that their brushes are 100% germ-free, and moms can never have to think about cleaning their makeup brushes again!
Beautiac believes no animals should be experimented on or harmed for ingredients or in manufacturing applications. The company also strives to empower women through education and product accessibility, helping women of all ages achieve wellness in their everyday lives.
