Sephora Brand is not Vegan (or Cruelty-free):

Before going onwards, did you know?

Despite having a lot of vegan and cruelty-free brands, Sephora (itself) is not vegan or cruelty-free. The reason being, they sell their products in mainland China where animal testing is required by law.

Sephora is also not included in PETA’s list of vegan brands.

Vegan Makeup Brands at Sephora:

About two-thirds of the makeup brands sold on Sephora are cruelty-free and certified by PETA. When we say vegan, we mean 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Brands like Alpyn Beauty, Biossance, and Four Sigmatic.

Sephora doesn’t offer a separate category for vegan brands. You can find the vegan makeup in shop -> makeup -> vegan makeup.

Beware that not all vegan makeup in Sephora collection comes from a vegan brand. Take Anastasia Beverly Hills for instance. It’s a cruelty-free brand but some of their makeup products include beeswax and honey. Therefore, it’s not vegan but you’ll find their beauty makeup products under vegan makeup listing.

All brands included in our list are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. They don’t test their makeup products on animals nor market in China.

There are some brands don’t test their products on animals until it’s required by law. One way or the other, they’re not vegan and we’ll cross out any brands such brands too. Recently, NARS has extended its line to the Chinese market, so it’s no longer a vegan brand.

The much-contested laws regarding animal testing in China are to be changed in 2020. New laws are drafted that won’t require brands to test their products on animals before selling in markets. This law, if imposed will spare thousands of beautiful innocent animals from being test subjects.
