Finding cruelty-free brands at Sephora is a struggle for many. For many, big stores like Sephora are one of the main places where they purchase cosmetics, skincare, and hair care. It’s easy to have one store where you can take care of so much shopping. What about cruelty-free brands or vegan options at Sephora? This can be tough.

Brands that are NOT Cruelty-Free at Sephora:
Sephora does carry a lot of cruelty-free brands. For those who shop there, I think that it is important for them to know which brands are the best to support. Unfortunately, the house line of cosmetics sold at Sephora is not cruelty-free. Sephora does have stores in China, where animal testing is required by law. Their house brand is sold in these stores.
I know that because of this, some people want to avoid shopping at Sephora altogether. For those who decide to not purchase items from Sephora, you can always go into the store to look at the cruelty-free brands and cruelty-free products in person, take home samples, and then order online directly from the brand itself or from Ulta.
Sadly, the list of brands that are not cruelty-free at Sephora is long. This is not a full list of the brands that are NOT cruelty-free at Sephora. It’s just ones that I get asked about a lot. Or brands that people tend to think are cruelty-free but actually are not. Go to the brands that are not cruelty-free list to view other brands that test on animals.
If you are looking to purchase only cruelty-free brands at Sephora, you should avoid the following brands:
- Benefit Cosmetics
- Bobbi Brown
- Caudalie
- Chanel
- Clarins
- Clinique
- Dior
- Estee Lauder
- Glamglow
- Gucci
- Kiehl’s
- L’Occitane
- La Mer
- Laura Mercier
- Makeup Forever
- Marc Jacobs Fragrances
- NARS
- Origins
- Sephora Collection

I just wanted to let you know that Sephora is not carrying Butter London anymore.
And Kat Von D is 100% vegan.
Thank you so much for taking care of out beauty needs. Big yay to you.
Hi Flavia,
While Kat Von D Beauty has a lot of vegan products, they aren’t a fully vegan line. You can see a list of their vegan products on the Kat Von D Beauty website.
Hi,
Great list! KVD Beauty is 100% Vegan now, right?
Thanks!
Mallory
Fenty Beauty needs to be added to this list.
I have been unable to get them to confirm if they are cruelty-free or not.
Is MILK Makeup cruelty free? From what I have read they are but they aren’t on your list. Also, Stila isnt on this list. Thanks
Thank you so much for this list. I was told that Hourglass is now owned by Unilever. Is this true?
Unilever has announced plans to acquire them, but they have not been purchased yet.
I’ve been hearing a lot of rumours that Ole Henriksen will be expanding to China this year and will no longer be cruelty-free. Do you know anything about this?
Curious about Kevyn Aucoin- sold in some Sephora’s & online
I found ‘youth to the people’ cruelty free at sephora. Is this correct?
I noticed Drunk Elephant was not on the list. Are they not cruelty free?
Hi Tashina, do you know if Biossance is cruelty free?
Thank you!
This is a brilliant help, as I am off to your lovely country next week and will be visiting Sephora so I will be armed with CF companies before I go!
