List of Cruelty-Free Brands at Sephora | 2024 UPDATE!

I’m using the term “cruelty-free” here to describe brands that don’t test on animals. So, I’ve verified that Huda Beauty doesn’t test their ingredients or products on animals.

Sadly, you’re correct that some of Huda Beauty’s lashes are made from real mink hair and some of their cosmetics also contain animal-derived ingredients like beeswax and carmine.

But as mentioned, the term “cruelty-free” is generally used to imply the brand doesn’t test on animals.

Hi Marcie!
Oh my goodness, thank you so so so so much for leaving such a sweet comment!!! and I’m so happy to hear that you found this list helpful while you were placing your Sephora order! That’s the exact reason why I’ve created such a list =)

Haha, not a dumb question. I’m glad you asked!! There’s probably other readers wondering the exact same thing as I wasn’t really clear about that in my legend up at the top of the page. Some brands have a black line through them to indicate those brands are NOT cruelty-free. I try to make it as obvious as possible to show which brands are cruelty-free or not and sometimes having certain brands a different color isn’t enough so I took it a step further and “crossed out” the brands to avoid. That’s all! =)

Hey Rebecca,
When I use the term “cruelty-free” here, I’m only referring to whether the brand test on animals or not. So Huda Beauty is a cruelty-free brand in the sense that they do not test on animals.
However, you’re absolutely right that Huda Beauty does sell some mink lashes made out of real animal fur but they also do offer some vegan and animal-free lashes.
