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.

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.

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.
