ELYTRUM natural brushes are handmade in Sri Lanka, by a family-owned company. The company employs mainly underprivileged local women who take great pride in creating beautiful biodegradable and environmentally friendly brushes. They are treated fairly, with respect, are safe and never discriminated against. They all receive training and are paid above standard wages for their work. Most of the women employed have children and are given flexible hours. As a result, their children can continue their education and further studies, helping lift entire generations out of poverty.
