synthetic brush
Manmade fiber applicator
A synthetic brush has bristles made from manufactured fibers—typically nylon or polyester—rather than animal hair.
Synthetic brushes work well with water-based paints and are easier to clean than natural-hair brushes.
They're also cheaper and don't raise ethical concerns about animal products: I switched to synthetic brushes for my acrylics.
