Is NYX Cruelty-Free?

Posted on Thursday - April 20, 2017 by Tashina Combs & Last updated on Friday - August 3, 2018 18 Comments

Is NYX Cruelty-Free?

When it comes to cruelty-free brands, there can be a lot of confusion about which brands are cruelty-free and which are not. In an attempt to make things easier, this post series hopes to help clear up the cruelty-free stance of some of the most asked about brands on Logical Harmony. A lot of people ask if NYX is cruelty-free. This budget-friendly beauty brand is very easy to find, so many people are curious if NYX is cruelty-free. Not only do they have their own stores, but you can find NYX in drugstores and Ulta locations all over.

Is NYX cruelty-free? Keep reading to find out the details.

Is NYX cruelty-free? Yes!

NYX is a completely cruelty-free brand. There is no animal testing occurring on their products or ingredients by NYX, a parent company, or any companies that they work with. NYX also does not test on animals when required by law.

Who owns NYX?

While NYX is cruelty-free, NYX is owned by L’Oreal and L’Oreal is not cruelty-free. NYX was purchased by L’Oreal in 2014. However, I think everyone should decide for themselves how they feel about parent companies who test on animals.

Does NYX have vegan products? Yes!

After several years of not offering vegan options, in early 2018 NYX finally announced that they have confirmed vegan products! You can check out the full NYX Vegan Products List to see what the options are. It’s very exciting to see more cruelty-free and vegan drugstore options. NYX Vegan Products List

    I read your article about NYX being cruelty free and I purchased some products. I was very upset when I noticed later that the products are made in China. That means that they are tested on animals, right? Please check the information is correct.

      Hi Diana! Thankfully, products made in China are not required to be tested on animals. It’s only when sold there. You can read more about it here – Are Cosmetics Made in China Cruelty-Free?

    But if I buy NYX’s products, the money will go to L’Oréal. So I am supporting not cruelty free company..? I know this is everyone’s choice but there are so many cruelty free companies that we should reinforce

      Everyone feels differently about this, and that’s okay. I personally want to help people find as many cruelty-free brands as possible so that, no matter where they are on their cruelty-free journey, it feels like something that’s easy to do. At the end of the day, I think that supporting any cruelty-free brand is better than supporting a brand that is not.

    Hi ! I have a question. Why don’t they have a “cruelty free” logo on their website ?? I’m confused. 🙁

      This would be a better question for the brand, but I will say that not all brands feel the need to have or use a cruelty-free logo. There are so many out there and not all of them are widely recognized.

    Does NYX pay China to test on animals?

      Nope. There is absolutely no animal testing done by anyone on their products, ingredients, formulations, etc.

    How can NYX say they are cruelty-free if they are not vegan? Testing on animals is bad, but abusing animals in every way is bad. Make-up with animal products in them are still cruel, because these animals are treated just as bad as the animals that are test subjects.

    Hi, I just want to ask. How can NYX say they’re cruelty free when their lipsticks(Liquid Suede & Soft Matte Lip Creme) are made in China and China by law requires animal testing. I’m confused?

      Products that are made in China are not required to be tested on animals. It’s only products that are sold there.

        That’s interesting. I was wondering the same thing. I personally don’t buy product that are owned by companies that test on animals. For example, I stopped buying products from The Body Shop for this very reason. I had no idea that NYX was owned by L’Oreal. This is such sad news. I love their products, but I can’t continue to buy their products any longer. Lets face it the money is going to a company that knowingly tests on animals, and L’Oreal is one of the biggest animal testing cosmetic companies out there. Such a shame! x

    Maybe I’m misreading or missing something, but there seems to be a contradiction in this. You say that there is no animal testing by a parent company, but right below that L’Oreal is recognized as the parent company and L’Oreal does test on animals. Can you clarify?

      Of course! NYX is owned by a parent company that tests their own products on animals, but NYX products are not tested on animals by the parent company. That is a common misconception with them, so it felt important to include it. If you are wanting to avoid cruelty-free brands with a parent company that is not cruelty-free, then NYX would not be for you.
