Huda Beauty is a cosmetic brand created by beauty guru, Youtuber, and influencer, Huda Kattan. Huda Beauty has become one of the most popular and fastest-growing makeup brands but first, we wanted to know is Huda Beauty cruelty-free and vegan?
Is Huda Beauty Cruelty-free?
Huda Beauty is cruelty-free, Huda Beauty does not test its products or its ingredients on animals anywhere in the world.
Huda Beauty’s Animal Testing Statement
In an email response, Huda Beauty confirmed to me that they do not test their ingredients or products on animals; they do not ask or hire any third parties to test their products or ingredients on animals on their behalf; their ingredient suppliers do not test on animals and they have manufacturers certifications to confirm this; and they do not sell in Mainland China.
Based on the response from Huda Beauty, we would consider Huda Beauty to be cruelty-free and they’ve been added to our list of cruelty-free brands!
Is Huda Beauty Vegan?
Some of Huda Beauty makeup products contain carmine, beeswax, and other animal-derived ingredients and/or by-products and are not suitable for vegans, however, Huda Beauty does offer a selection of vegan makeup and vegan false lashes.
Please reference below for a list of Huda Beauty vegan products.

April 3, 2019Hi Lucia,
Unfortunately Huda Beauty’s lipsticks and lip products are not vegan at this time. They do use beeswax, and possibly some other animal-derived ingredients or by-products, in their lipsticks therefore they’re not considered vegan.

January 27, 2019I’m curious as to understand how they can be cruelty free, but not vegan? Like how can you be cruelty free if you use mink hair? What exactly defines cruelty free, that it just wasn’t tested on animals? Don’t get me wrong, it’s great, i’m just not sure I understand the concept?

May 13, 2019cruelty free just means it isnt tested on animals.

June 22, 2019I had doubts about their cf status because of the mink lashes. However currently they just sell syntetic (faux mink) ones. I have emailed the company about the lashes situation. K hope they wont sell real mink hair products anymore
