Being aware of the cruelty-free brands at Ulta can be a challenge simply because they carry so many brands. In an effort to make things easier for consumers, I wanted to create and share this list of cruelty-free brands at Ulta.

All brands included here are sold at Ulta. They are cruelty-free, which means free of animal testing, and they all also have vegan options to choose from. Just as with the Cruelty-Free Brand List, it is noted next to a brand if they are cruelty-free but are owned by a company that tests on animals. It is also noted if they are also a 100% vegan brand.

Below is a full list of all of the cruelty-free brands at Ulta. This includes makeup brands, skincare brands, hair care brands, and fragrance brands. It also covers the drugstore and prestige sides of the store as well.

I get a lot of questions about the Ulta house brand and if Ulta is cruelty-free. Another great thing about Ulta is that they do not sell in China, where animal testing is required by law. The Ulta Collection brand is also cruelty-free. There are even some vegan-friendly options in the house line too!

  1. Cover girl is CF and I read that many of the other brands by Coty are supposed to be CF this year. However it says Clairol is one of the brands to turn CF. I have seen displays of their hair color to be natural and CF and vegan. They even said on their site they’re working with Cruelty free International to become cruelty free. Can you please clarify? All very confusing.
