Ultrasonic makeup brush cleaner and other cosmetic devices We are a research-oriented startup founded by several UCR PhD students with a focus on the R&D of cosmetic devices and other small appliances.The concept of ultrasonic makeup brush cleaner originates from one of our team members, Miranda. As a makeup lover, she finds it so time consuming to clean many brushes regularly. Our survey shows that about 40% women clean their makeup brush even less than once a month mainly because it is time consuming to wash and dry it. However, a dirty makeup brush gradually builds up bacteria, oil, dead skin, which threats skin health and reduce the makeup effect. And replacing with new brush frequently is also problematical because it causes extra expense on new brushes, waste of old brushes, and not being environmentally friendly. To solve all the problems, the world’s first automated ultrasonic cleaner was born! It does all the job for you. It can automatically clean and dry up to 12 brushes in around 6 min (patent-pending). We will officially launch our product in early August.
