Anastasia Beverly Hills, also known as ABH, is well known for their wildly popular and transforming brow products but is Anastasia Beverly Hills cruelty-free and vegan?
Is Anastasia Beverly Hills Cruelty-Free?
Anastasia Beverly Hills does not test any of their products, ingredients, for formulations on animals, anywhere in the world.
It should be noted that Anastasia Beverly Hills sells makeup brushes made with animal hair.
ABH’s Animal Testing Policy
Anastasia Beverly Hills has confirmed they do not test their products or ingredients on animals or ask others to test on their behalf. Their suppliers also do not test on animals nor do they allow their products to be tested on animals when required by law. And finally, their products are not sold in stores in mainland China or any other country that may require animal testing.
Below is a screenshot of Anastasia Beverly Hills’ official animal testing statement:
Is Anastasia Beverly Hills Sold in China?
Most imported cosmetics sold in mainland China are required by law to be tested on animals in 2021. However, Anastasia Beverly Hills has confirmed they do not sell their products in retail stores in mainland China and therefore they are not required to test on animals.
“We do not sell in physical stores in China.”
You can find Anastasia Beverly Hills’ products at Sephora, Beauty Bay, and Cult Beauty.
Is Anastasia Beverly Hills Vegan?
Not all of Anastasia Beverly Hills products are vegan as they do use carmine, lanolin, beeswax, and/or other animal-derived ingredients in some of their products but Anastasia Beverly Hills does have some vegan makeup that are free of animal-derived ingredients and by-products.
Note: ABH’s Brush #14 is made with animal hair.
Please reference below for a list of Anastasia Beverly Hills vegan products.
You can also find out which of their products are vegan as they’re marked accordingly on their website under each product description. See below for an example.

Is Anastasia Beverly Hills Sustainable?
Anastasia Beverly Hills’ products are manufactured in: “Our products are manufactured in different countries, including USA, Germany, Italy, or PRC. Since we have many products in various shades, please let us know specifically which items you are interested in and we will do our best to give you the needed details.”
Anastasia Beverly Hill does not claim to be a sustainable company.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find any available information on ABH’s sustainability, environmental, and social initiatives.
Is Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Mica Ethically-Sourced? I’ve emailed ABH 4 times in the past year to ask if their mica is ethically-sourced without the use of child labor but they never responded to any of my emails.
I hope this article helped you to understand Anastasia Beverly Hill’s cruelty-free and vegan status and by choosing cruelty-free together, we can help end animal testing for cosmetics once and for all!

Hi, do you know if the new Amrezy Highlighter is vegan? Thank you
I have found less vegan marked products. For example, their Moonchild kit is not marked vegan. Have they changed the formula?
I noticed they’ve removed the VEGAN label on some of their products. I sent them an email 2 weeks ago addressing this and asked if they recently changed their formula and they responded saying:
“We apologize for any confusion. Since we have many products in various shades, please let us know specifically which items you are interested in and we will do our best to give you the needed details.”
My guess is that they haven’t changed their formulas and maybe they’re just updating their website and in doing so, they’ve accidentally removed the VEGAN label off from some of their shades and products. But I plan to follow-up with these changes closely! =)
Thank you for checking.
What about their eyeshadow palettes ? Like modern renaissance, norvina and all the other palettes ?
Hi , I noticed u wrote in Anastasia soft glam eye shadow pallete , there is carmine and beeswax. Are these the only animal ingredients , or us their fats from animals like cows and pigs? Plz reply soon. Thanks
Hi Aim,
Sorry but I’m not entirely sure. I think it’s best to ask ABH about the source of each of their ingredients in this palette. They’ll give you a better answer than I can.
Carmine and beeswax were the only animal-derived ingredients that stood out to me but there are some other ingredients in their list that could potentially be derived from an animal source or synthetically like glycerin and lecithin.
Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful in answering your question!
Je fais des recherches pour être sûre que tous mes cosmétiques soient cruelty free et en cherchant sur le site d’Anastasia Beverly Hills je n’ai pas trouvé de mentions légales à ce propos. Peut-être que c’est moi qui est mal cherché, et si c’est le cas j’aimerais savoir où je peux trouver ces mentions.
