Is this made syntheticly?

I assumed it was synthetic because it is sold in such a large amount at such a low price.

Simple answer, Yes, it is synthetic.While the original was extracted from a plant, it is rare to find the natural extract, due to the extreme difference in price. Methyl Salicylate IS the name for both the natural and synthesized, and identical in every way, right down to it's molecular structure, except for where it comes from. Unless the manufacturer specifically labels it as "Natural", it is not possible to say which it is except that, last time I checked, a 2 fluid ounce bottle of the extract cost 40 US dollars.

I think that it is made synthetically, because the ingredient label state Menthyl Salicylate, there is no mention of Wintergreen oil on the label.

I'm fairly certain they are synthetic. They are soft and my cats love them.

I think it is synthetic. My case is now worn badly after less than 6 months of use. I am very rough on use of the case so this was adequate for the endurance it encountered. Al

It's some synthetic. I prefer to cover it with a cotton sheet because otherwise it causes some sweating. I would most definitely not leave it outside

I do not know what kind of synthetic hair it is, but it feels like real hair. it has good quality. All I know that it is a synthetic fiber.

It is synthetic. Like it says in the description. It is a really good deal though.

The bristles are definitely synthetic. I have not had any issues with hair breakage.

I'm almost positive it's synthetic, but its very soft. I've had it for several months now and it hangs between two trees and gets full sun and sprinklers everyday. It still looks great and feels soft. The rope is very stretchy and it shows no sign of sagging. My only complaint to far is that one end of one of the bars has a split in it. I will use some wood glue and a ziptie or hose clamp to keep it from spreading.

This is not the polished Aluminum one, but rather a it is made out of a very durable synthetic material. We are very pleased with it.

I was told they made from goat hair by a Shany rep. They are definitely not synthetic.

It's heavier than synthetic. The natural goose down will keep you warm without overheating. Everyone loves it.

When i saw the container in person in WalMart it clearly said "Synthetic" on the front of the bottle. I'm sure this is the same exact thing, just the picture if out of date.

It was not like any sheep skin that I have ever seen. I believe it was synthetic.

Synthetic. It's very thin, my cat clawed at it once and it left a big hole.

no, these are hog intestine. synthetic are for vegetarians. natural casing comes from animal.

I am sorry to say that I honestly could not tell the difference between natural and synthetic but I am leaning more towards synthetic... either way it has a good weight to it and it is beautiful. We love it!
