Benefits of technology

[0010] Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an antibacterial cosmetic brush, which comprises bristles treated with polyhexamethylene biguanide so as to inhibit the growth and propagation of bacteria, such as E. coli, Pneumococcus and Salmonella, on the bristles.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the bristles 106 are used for a long period of time, there is a possibility that E. coli or other bacteria may propagate on the bristles, because the nutrient components of cosmetics remain on the bristles.
