NYX Cosmetics is a popular affordable makeup brand available at most drugstores in the US, Canada, and the UK but is NYX cruelty-free and vegan?

Is NYX Cruelty-Free?

Yes, NYX is Cruelty-free! None of NYX’s ingredients, formulations, or finished products are tested on animals, anywhere in the world.

However, it should be noted that NYX is owned by L’Oreal, a parent corporation that does test on animals when required by law.

NYX has confirmed they do not test their products or ingredients on animals, they do not allow others to test on their behalf, their suppliers also do not test on animals, and their products are not sold in stores in mainland China or any other country that may require animal testing by law.

Below is what’s currently stated on NYX’s website:

NYX Acquired by L’Oreal

In 2014, NYX was acquired by L’Oreal, a corporation that does test on animals when required by law.

Although NYX is owned by L’Oreal, the brand has remained committed to being a cruelty-free brand.

NYX is included on our List of Cruelty-Free Brands.

You can find NYX products at nyxcosmetics.com, at most drugstores like Walmart, CVS, Target, London Drugs, Shoppers Drug Mart, as well as on Amazon.

Not all of NYX’s products are vegan as some of their products contain beeswax, lanolin, carmine, or animal-derived ingredients or by-products. However, NYX does have some vegan options.

Based in: US

Products Made in: NYX Cosmetics can’t specify where their products are made, stating “Please be advised that our products are created all over the globe, making it difficult to know where exactly a certain product is manufactured.”

  Hey Zara,
  You’re right. I just checked the ingredient list for The Wonder Stick from NYX and it does list beeswax. I’ve now removed it from this list. Thank you for catching that! =)

If nyx cosmetics is owned by a non cruelty fee company (L’Oreal) then even though nyx make up is ‘vegan’ wouldn’t some of the money fund cruel animal experiments?
Very unfortunate and annoying…everything is connected
